Forums - General - Book Thread: VGChartz gotta start readin'!

Yay! They let me back on the site!!!

Mystery books are usually cliche, but this one had so many twists and turns, you'll have a hard time figuring out if it's really a murder, or some sort of supernatural force punishing the 10 unsuspecting "heroes" for their past crimes. An already famous story (that I finally got around to reading), And Then There Were None is definately not your conventional mystery novel.

I'm reading Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind, which is a task because my reading time is minimal right now.

I'm also reading Fables: Storybook Love (collection #3 for those of you keeping score at home). It's more Fables anyway, which is always nice.

I'm audiobooking The Gates of Rome by Conn Iggulden, which is pretty entertaining so far.

If there's one book I'm anticipating right now, it's Clariel by Garth Nix. I thought the Old Kingdom trilogy was awesome and hope that they get Tim Curry to read the audiobook again because he did an amazing job. Sadly, it looks like I'll have to wait until next year.

The Halo books are pretty prime.

Only read the first one, Fall of Reach so far. I think that the language is very easy to understand and somewhat cheesy at times, probably to make it more accessible to younger audience. I usually read adult books so found this book alright-ish, story wasn't too bad though, about the beginning of Spartan programme and the fall of reach etc. Will buy the others later

Lirael, Sabriel and the Abhorsen or w/e were epic books, I remember reading them. If you enjoyed that sort of thing check out the "Painted Man" and "Desert Spear" <- Sequel to the Painted Man. I think they're part of the demon trilogy.

Sweet! I'll have a look and see what they're all about. Yeah, I really loved the Old Kingdom Trilogy. Garth Nix developed all the characters very well and Tim Curry's voicework made sure I was always paying attention.

On a slightly unrelated topic, has anybody read either the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series or the Hunger Games series? They're both quite popular and look intriguing to me, but I'd like have an opinion from someone who's read either series.

No but I've been meaning to check the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for quite some time now, just didn't have time at the time and when did picked up other books, by the way the books I've suggested are mature with both sexual and violent content, just wanted to say so you wouldn't sue my internets for providing you with borderline eye candy x). It's very adulty compared with the Old Kingdom trilogy

Hes writing another one of those? God damn another book to add to my 'to read' list *sigh* too much good stuff.

I have read The Millennium trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is the first book in the series ). They're essentially suspense-thriller books (the fist one is also a bit of a mistery novel). They're well written, very suspensfull, and very exciting reads. The main character is this goth-autistic-hacker girl who can kick ass. The books are also an interesting critique of some aspects of Swedish society, and on some level also try to explore the impact of the media on society, trafficking, ethics etc.

The books also have some sex scenes (including lesbian sex), violence (including sexual violence, a very disturbing rape scene of a woman, and an equally disturbing torture and almost rape scene of a man). There are also references to bisexuality (both female and male) and open relationships, swinging etc.

The books also criticise mysoginy and right wing politics. If you're a right-winger you'll probably hate the books.

Personally, I reccomend the books.

That's a very good book, I had to read it for high school english...but to be honest, I don't even remember the specifics...excuse enough to go back to it if my book list ever gets finished
