Started The Girl With All The Gifts a couple days ago, it's really good so far

[Lostie!]

I'm nearing the end of my re-read of the first few "A Song of Ice and Fire" books, getting close to the end of "A Storm of Swords #1". I got the next couple for Christmas and wanted to give myself a refresher before moving on to them.

I am currently reading Inferno by Dan Brown as part of my 2015 book challenge, it seems ok so far. I hope to have a major reading session tomorrow and finish it before the weekend.

Almost finished "the shock of the fall" it's kind of dragged, I don't like the writing style

How many books are you reading for the challenge, 52?

Picked up The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (J.K Rowling) a few days ago, on part four and I'm still rather stumped as to what could have happened!

The Shock of the Fall

Great read, really moving and poignant. The inconsistent narrative style is a good touch, and the little elements of paranoia and fear throughout keep it from being too soppy.

A Dance With Dragons part 2

I've just finished reading 'Child 44'. A good read and I saw that the film of the book is just out, so I might see that.

Rush by Carsen Taite


I'm not that far into it, it's a romance with a backdrop of crime I guess. Both of the main characters come across as very confident and there is no angst surrounding coming out, since they both already are.

I like the writing.

We were liars by E Lockheart

I'm halfway through, quite good so far!

Spoiler:

..see I have to say that I didn't like the movie that much..a appreciate how changed he was in life and why and the ironic way of his death and how sad etc...I guess that I just don't generally like movies of war torn countries where such a strong psychological perspective is put on one particular 'side'..I know that has to be I guess but I just don't like it personally..even from the opening scene when he was on the rooftop and his rifle was aimed at a small child who was suspected of having a bomb...the child was still old enough and as it was part of his daily life type thing...to have awareness of what he was doing and that he also would die in doing it and I just found it frustrating to not have a perspective of a child doing that and also of his parents/family etc who would have sacrificed their child who they loved...anyway I'm not sure exactly if I can explain why I generally am less keen on these movies but they're just something that disturb me quite a bit and I can't ever say that I like them...obviously with this it's a true story and a sad one and he wasn't someone that I was aware of so it was interesting watching it...I think that I might try the book now that you have said that their are huge differences...

I pulled this out to look up something in it and ended up reading it again - absolutely brilliant and the prototype from which just about every other post-apocalyptic novel/film since has filched from.

"Winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel and widely considered one of the most accomplished, powerful, and enduring classics of modern speculative fiction, Walter M. Miller, Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz is a true landmark of twentieth-century literature -- a chilling and still-provocative look at a post-apocalyptic future.

In a nightmarish ruined world slowly awakening to the light after sleeping in darkness, the infant rediscoveries of science are secretly nourished by cloistered monks dedicated to the study and preservation of the relics and writings of the blessed Saint Isaac Leibowitz. From here the story spans centuries of ignorance, violence, and barbarism, viewing through a sharp, satirical eye the relentless progression of a human race damned by its inherent humanness to re-celebrate its grand foibles and repeat its grievous mistakes. Seriously funny, stunning, and tragic, eternally fresh, imaginative, and altogether remarkable, A Canticle for Leibowitz retains its ability to enthrall and amaze. It is now, as it always has been, a masterpiece."

..what did you think..?..I actually found that really hard to read ...the movie was rubbish though, I thought...

[Braden]

almost halfway through Ready Player One.

I'm really liking it so far. It kinda reminds me of Spy Kids 3D. But obviously better and in well written form

If you're a sci-fi geek who all has a love for video games then this book is for you.
