My boss suggested it so I just picked it up from the library. (I work for a technology company and I do marketing for new innovative tools, so this is something that I would need to know) It's pretty good even for casual reading... any business folks should probably check this out | ||

Currently Reading Reading Next I never know what I'll be onto next. I like to sharply switch gears (re: Palahniuk -> Dostoevsky), but sometimes I'll read the same author back to back. It all depends on how I feel coming off the last book. The Idiot is definitely going to leave an impression, though. And I'm only 70 pages in. It's good to see so many readers! | ||

Pretty neat little story, but the writing style seemed a bit strange to me. Sentences would sometimes last over 1-2 pages. Worth the read though for sure. | ||

Thinking of reading something by Kafka, maybe starting with The Metamorphosis (already read it but it was fairly interesting) and then going onto The Trial maybe? We'll see what I go to read. | ||

I remember that AP Bio book from my senior year of high school I'm going the opposite way - Tolstoy to Dostoevsky =D American Gods is definitely on my list for the next 10 books I wanna devour. BTW, for anyone looking for good sci fi I recommend Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton. Just epic. | ||

Joe Abercrombie - The First Law The blade itself (read) Before they are hanged (read) Last argument of kings (currently at the end of book 3 after only two weeks..) http://www.amazon.com/Blade-Itself-First-Law-Book/dp/159102594X/ref=pd_sim_b_2 Delightfully twisted characters, witty dialogue, brutal and violent, lots of intrigue and suspense. An eyeopener in some regards even when compared to: A song of ice and fire (yeah, you already know it) Malazan book of the fallen (this is also a nobrainer, though a bit heavy on pathos) Oh, and I really rather dislike Tolkienesque fantasybooks, so if you're of similar taste - Pick up "The First Law - The blade itself" nowish! | ||

I'm currently writing about ethical problems during military actions in modern times/future. And for that, I need to know more about war in general (what is it exactly, how is it percieved etc.). | ||

Hamilton I haven't read Night's Dawn Trilogy yet, but the Commonwealth Saga (Pandora's Star + Judas Unchained) blew my mind. However, I must disagree on the Void Trilogy. I think Void is pure trash... he just doesn't do fantasy well IMO =( | ||
