Re-reading The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy series.

 

I'm hoping to start on The History of Magic by Eliphas Levi sometime soon. Got it from the library a few days ago...just waiting for some free time Other than that, I've been reading Zuni mythology, Heart of Darkness, and Plato for college classes.

 

I'm almost done with the hexed by Heather Graham.

 

A good read I thought.

 

I'm reading Chris Ryan's 'Sex at Dawn'.

Interesting book about human sexuality.

 

Im reading Mr.Mercedes by Stephen King. its a 151 chapter book and i like it but Im afraid of it a lil bit cause the reader, listenin to the audiobook so i don't get bored reading it.. but Im also reading Divergent, I really really like it so far it's weird it's one of those class books kind of reminds me of a wrinkle in time when they are in the dusty world of tumbleweed when everyone has houses all alike and their parents seem to be labeled and everyhouse has a label.. like the giver you know? just finished fault of the stars.. the reader on the audiobook did such an awesome job i recommend gettin it.. Im here at barnes and nobles just wondering what else i should read.

 

The Grand Design - Stephen Hawking

Haven't bumped this thread in awhile even though I've read a few books. A few of the others I read...

Farewell to Reality- Jim Baggot
Atheism: Opposing Viewpoints Series

 

I love Kipling.

 

i just started reading The Black Corridor by him. pretty good so far.

 

I love Michael Moorcock's fantasy! The eternal champion! The albino emperor with his soul absorbing black sword! The forces of chaos, hmm delicious! I even borrowed my location from his stories

 

I'm going to be starting to read the first book to the morganville vampires series by Rachel Caine.

 

i haven't read anything by him yet. the black corridor sounded cool to me though.

i'm more of a science fiction fan, than fantasy...though i haven't read any fantasy really

 

Scifi works better in movies for me (in general), as space scenes and atmosphere are usually much better conveyed visually (imo) I used to be really big on epic swords and sorcery fantasy but always was drawn to it for a large part because of the alternate realities/societal circumstances (I preferred medieval orientated, and most happily are). After lord of the rings (which remains to be a fantastic piece of work) and some others I soon got really tired of the good vs. evil concept though. I rather read about an antihero than a hero, and I rather have a good fantasy story that can take you in any direction instead of the standard and often inevitable good guy and his consorts save the world. Some philosophical/sociological aspects in the setting and maybe some good surrealism, that's what I dig. Scifi is a really great genre but it depends on why it is scifi if I like it in book form or not. Too much technical stuff I can't visualize, weird concepts etc. and I'm lost. Abstract concepts well explained are more fun for me.

 

I'm currently reading "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" by Sogyal Rinpoche.

 

Just finished Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.

Truly fascinating, horrifying and uplifting true story. Think ISIS is bad? You ain't seen nothin' 'till you read this story.
