Reploid Productions wrote:Started on Lolita since that's next up for my film class. Not even 50 pages in and I can see why it's considered controversial. I already kinda want to go all Bastard Mod on the narrator and make with the stabby-stabby killdeath.

Oh, right... I keep forgetting talking about pedophilia on NS is against Da Rulz.

The Map of Time, Felix Palma

Haven't had the chance to read very much into it, but so far it's been a great read, if rather ambiguous as to the direction of the plot.

King Lear, William Shakespeare

It's enjoyable, although I do wish I had the time to read it in Shakespearean English, unfortunately since it's due on Friday, I have to stick with the simple version, which detracts heavily from the play.

Doomwyte, by Brian Jacques. I love his books.

Finished Red Inferno: 1954 by Robert Conroy. I recommend it to anyone interested in military history, or alt-history. Some inconsistencies will e easily spotted by rabid history fans, but, in all a great book.

Now reading....re-reading actually, Tin Man by Dale Brown. I can already tell you its a pretty damn good book and you should read it. Its a nice semi-departure from his Air Force thrillers.

Wow. Sounds... interesting. Shame I have neither of those things.

Sharpe's Devil by Bernard Cornwell. Great book.

Currebntly I am reading The Dog Said Bow-Wow, a collection of stories by Michael Swanwick. It was one of those books I grabbed off a library shelf just to have something to read. It's the sort of thing that I normally can't stand - sort of what they call now "new weird": post-apocalyptic stories of a distant fantastic future, complete with elves, demons, human-animal hybrids, etc. etc. But the guy writes so well I got into it, despite myself. I particularly liked a story called "Legions of Time" which has enough material in it for a trilogy of novels, and is the moust outrageous time-travel story I've seen since "All You Zombies" (Heinlein).

I'm theoretically reading An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers ie and old number theory text. i say theoretically because i have it at work to keep my mind occupied on days when i have absolutely nothing to do (8 hours of nothing will drive anyone insane) but I am actually busy right now :unsure:

and yes, i am actually reading a math text book for my own enjoyment (not quite the right word) and not for a class

I'm currently reading the first Goosebumps book in Spanish (for a class, not for fun). I recently finished the Belgariad and the Malloreon, which are two amazingly great series.

I loved The Belgariad and The Mallorean, they're two of my favorite series by far, I haven't gotten my hands on a set of his third series yet.
