In the middle of "Silverthorn" by Raymond Feist, author of the fairly well-known Riftwar saga. Finished "Magician:Apprentice" and "Magician: Master" again over the past month or so.
When I was a freshman in college I read the Hite Report. It made me a better lover literally overnight as my GF at the time would attest.

I thought I was pretty decent in the sack as a teenager and knew what I was doing. I attended Sex Ed in junior high. I knew that Tab A fit into Slot B. I seen porns before. Apparently women like to toss up one leg on the rail as they boink the pizza delivery guy on the stairs.
After reading the book I realized how little I really knew. A lot of this book is like a survey of various women along with their testimonials. This book taught me how to hit it. Giggity giggity. All right.:wink:
Side note: I own but still haven't read the last two books of the Wheel of Time series. I just haven't been able to muster the energy to plow thru hundreds of pages of more fluff.
Th rift war saga and the books after that are really good too. I had just wish Thomas had fully gone over to be a Vallheru *dreams* Milamber was pretty kick ass too. funny, he started as nothing yet became the most powerfull sorcerer(next to macros)Originally Posted by Fhqwghads
I am not a reader, really im not, but I moved the other day and found a book I was reading when I was in 5th grade [I acually didnt read it , just jacked cliffnotes >.<] and desided to read it, it was called animal farm. Total and utter shit, didnt like the ending, at first it was okay but then WOAH HOLY HELL DID IT SUCK. Now im reading a book called "Connections based on a true story" which is sevreal accounts of alien abuction, really boring but fun to read before I go to bed at night :3
Milamber needed to kick some more ass. For a couple of books that revolved around a magician, it sure lacked a lot of epic magical battles by the main character. But yeah, they're still good books.Originally Posted by Guyverarmor
I just finished Survivor by Chuck Pahlniuk or whatever. I love his writing style and how it's so satirical and critical of american culture, but still tells a story that enthralls you with strange, psychotic characters in everyday, but warped situations. Moving on to Choke now.

2 of my favorite books, No Country for Old Men is being made into a movie by the Coen brothers a la Fargo, dark comedy sort of... it's going to be amazing. Cormac McCarthy is truly one of the best writers ever. It's about a person that stumbles across 2 million dollars near the Texas/Mexico border, said person takes money, and is hunted by the most brutal person to ever be written, Chigurh...
The Odd Sea is probably the only book that made me cry lol... >.> It's THAT good. A family comes to terms with their sons' disappearance after he just vanishes one day, never to be seen or heard from again. However, the missing boy's younger brother starts to unravel some disturbing and strange things that his older brother was involved in.
The Long Walk by Slavomir Rawicz is pretty good. Auto-bio about his capture, escape, and year-long trek to safety as a Polish cavalry officer in world war 2.
I read a lot of Dean Koontz...
Not amazing, but garaunteed to be interesting.
Also the Ender Series by Orson Scott Card.
The "Ender" series was pretty fucking cool. My dad got me into the book when I was about 9 or 10. Told me he had to read It when they were in basic training for the USMC. The speaker of the dead kinda killed It for me though. "Ender's shadow" about bean was pretty cool though
Steve Martin is an awesome writer.
They aren't mystery/sci-fi/fantasy/drama/etc/etc/etc, but they are good nonetheless.
Shopgirl (manic-depressant artist girl's relationships with a much older, wealthy man and incompetent younger man) some may have seen the film, but of course, the book is better, even though Claire Danes, Jason Schwartzman, and Steve Martin all dominate as actors.
The Pleasure of My Company (obsessive-compulsive MENSA genius' awkward, stumbling relationships with multiple women and his struggles with his "counting" OCD) Martin is really awesome at describing people's quirks and mannerisms in a 1st person in a way that makes them understandable and almost logical, rather interesting and humorous when on the topic of ridiculous OCD behavior.
I liked "Angels and Demons" a lot more than "The DaVinci Code" I have all of the Dark Tower books by King on my bookcase right now. Read through about 75% of the first book (The Gunslinger), and didn't really get into it. PLEASE TELL ME IT GETS BETTER! I dropped over $150 on all 7 books ;;
I'm reading Resident Evil: City of the Dead. Its the only recreational book I've read in like, years.
Leon once again proves he fucking wins.
Book II and III are probably the best. IV I was rather 'meh' about.Originally Posted by Tyche
