I've read a few books recently.
Firstly, I quite like dystopian novels, so I've read Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, both of which I'd recommend.
I've also read "Electrified Sheep" by Alex Boese- an account of some of the most ridiculous or interesting experiments throughout time. Sounds boring, but it's pretty entertaining.
Edit: Animal Farm as well- I got given a collection of George Orwell's works

Soon you too Skunk, can mistakenly liken everything someone does to being reminiscent to this book!

I've just finished the CHERUB series and now I'm reading Henderson's Boys. Both are written by Robert Muchamore.

I remember finishing that the week it came out, and having to suffer the horrible wait for the next book. I suggest having the next one ready for reading, because the cliffhanger at the end will drive you mad.

Just finished Six Sacred Stones and Five Greatest Warriors. Was even sexier.

I have also read the Scarecrow books (Can't wait for Army Of Thieves), Contest and Temple.

Read those too

Now I'm reading The Warlock which is part of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. These are awesome because they feature many different mythologies.

Since i've finished fever crumb which had the largest fan service possible for it to have, i've moved to the online book series, The Salvation War which is basically god saying heaven is full so just die and hell taking over earth, until earth fights back and things get messy.

I liked fever crumb too, I am now reading Games Day UK 2011 anthology and this topic >:)

I'm now reading 'Compassionate Bastard' by Peter Mitchell.
It's all about how he got a job with the Department of Immigration and how he dealt with the challenges he faced (in Australia, Immigration is a big challenge. You've got some people saying to send people away, some saying to let them in, it's all a bit hectic).
Anyway, it's written quite well, with some humor as well. Not sure if you'd find it outside of Australia, but if you see it, I recommend it, if that's your sort of book.

Oh yes, though I imagine that'll take a while.. The author took 7 years to write the first book and felt extreme pressure under the four years that took him to write the second one.

But damn, those are some good books.

Just finished "The City and The City" by China Mievill I cannot recommend him more. I have yet to read anything of his that I was not immediatly drawn in to completely.

In the past couple weeks I've read Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead. I'm going to start Xenocide soon, and I'm currently reading Pathfinder. All of these are by Orson Scott Card.

I've also started To Kill a Mockingbird for school

Good on you. Ender's Game has to be one of my favorite books ever.

XxGhOsTxReCoNxX · Post by **XxGhOsTxReCoNxX** » 13 Nov 2011, 01:04

I wanted to read that in 2nd grade. But my sister took the book >.>

I loved Ender's Game, as well as the three books that follow it. But Ender's Game especially I've re-read a lot.

Oh, and the Eragon books, love those and have re-read them many a time, even got my dad reading them, but I'm going to be late in getting the new one, Inheritance, so don't spoil it for me black

I Have just started reading "The Wheel of Time" Trilogy by Robert Jordan,Currently on Book 1:The Eye of the World

I have been reading Ayn Rand's 1100 page Atlas Shrugged for nearly 5 months now. It is the kind of book where you need to read a few pages, stop to contemplate what you just read, then start up again tomorrow. I have tried to power through it on multiple occasions, but it is just impossible. My dedication is finally paying off, as I am less than 100 pages from the end.

I have also been attempting to finish Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but attempting to tackle it at the same time as Atlas may have been a major mistake, as they are both quite challenging reads.

After Atlas and Zarathustra have been finished off I am going to continue on my philosophical tangent by rereading F. A. Hayek's The Constitution of Liberty.
