I finished Good Omens last night. It. Was. Brilliant.

And I bought Reaper Man (by Terry Pratchett. He did half the work in Good Omens, so yeah. Most of the comedic parts were from him.) out of impulse.

Also, I'm reading Stardust (by Neil Gaiman. Also worked on Good Omens. All things involving disgustingly graphic things and maggots came from him.) for the time being.

Also bought Feast of Crows, though I haven't read the other Ice and Fire books. Book four is actually rare in bookstores right now, so I'm considering this some sort of investment on the series.

I read Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived and it was excellent. It was very well written, the author is very good.

I just finished reading Julius by Daphne Du Maurier, which is basically about a jewish french boy who grows up to be an apathetic business tycoon. It's like the biography of a soulless monster, pretty interesting.

also The Great Gatsby was pretty good too, I'll have to watch the movie soon.

Ever notice the books yup might get to are always more fun to read on your own compared to if they are assigned to you? Even if you had already planned to read it?

Recently finished American Apocalypse The Fall (Im pretty sure that's what is was called.) was pretty good, I don't even remembering getting the book so when I was looking for something to read in my room I found this and was like oh boi, I wonder if its gonna be a basic apocalypse kinda thing and wow I was wrong, for a book about the world during a absolutely massive economy problem it was really good.
Although I'm not sure if there's more parts in it because of how it ended :l

Bought Ender's Shadow and Speaker of the Dead. My dad paid for it, probably because he's gonna read it soon. He's a sucker for sci-fi.

Now reading: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the looking glass. BARGAIN!

story/poem = Epic Poem

OT: I just started reading False Memory by Dean Koontz, it started off pretty dryly but I can feel it starting to pick up. I've only read one other book from this author before(Odd Thomas) but I didn't really get to enjoy the story because I was using it for a group book project that uh... didn't... go... so well..

I bought the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid for my little brother. I might read it after he finishes it, it's been quite a long time since I read a book with kiddy charm

I'm waiting until the next time I go to Brussels to buy the last part of The Left Hand Of God series by Paul Hoffman. Great books are great.

I'm still working through the expanded star wars universe. I'm currently reading a book in a first person view, it's weird, I don't like it because I can't relate to having force powers.

I know how to torrent books onto my Kindle, but how do I make them appear in the "Books" tab?
