Oh not always. I mean, this character is sooo F-ing annoying! Urrr, I just hate him....

[Hadrianus]

A Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

[Arch-Mage Matt]

"Down the Rabbit Hole" - Peter Abrahams

My first mystery in a long time. I usually stick to fantasies.

I love playing annoying characters. I like acting. It's a shame I didn't pursue it.
As for what I'm reading:
The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun by J.R.R. Tolkien. I've wanted to read this for so long

[DerangedPickle]

I've just finished Dracula, and i'm going to start on something called 'Shadow Project' with seems to be about neo-nazis, it all looks very Wolfenstein, so i'm sure it'll be badass.

[Norroen Dyrd]

Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott

[Iamgoofball]

I am reading The Mallorean By David Eddings. Probably about the best fantasy series I have ever read.

Finished Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
Started The Kolyma Tales by Varlam Shalamov. I suppose Leroybrown will find it of interest, as it deals with the life of Gulag inmates.

How was Lolita? It's one of those books I keep hearing of, so I've been wondering.

I was reading A Game of Thrones, but I bought Keith Richards' biography the other day because I didn't have anything to read at lunch and I've been reading that instead. It was either Keith or Steven Tyler, I figured Keith would be more interesting.

It was... controversial. If one is intelligent enough to see beyond what may be very well considered to be dirty paedophilia, one may find the book to be very deep. I myself had complicated emotions about it. The first pages made me frankly disgusted, but afterwards I was strongly moved, by the murder climax especially. Not to mention all the immense amount of cultural references that may be found between the lines Looking for them is quite an absorbing pastime And Nabokov's language is magical, with all its colourful images. From what we were told about him at the lectures, I know that in personal life he made a big deal about being a genius, and I must say that he succeeded.

I just finished Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens, and now I will delve into Russian postmodernism

[Shadowscale]

After days of searchig i have finaly got it

Rage of a demon king- Raymond E. Feist

[Norroen Dyrd]

I started reading two books simultaneously:
The Reserve by Sergei Dovlatov
The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo

[MARS]

I must say, the books in Daggerfall are very nice. Annoying to read because of the letters and the low resolution but they're wonderful!
I just read A tale of Kieran.

[Goblin voice]

Woho! I've finished "Monsieur Ibrahim et les Fleures du Coran" and "The Curious Incident of The Dog in The Night-Time"! Now I only have Frankenstein left to finish before I can start reading my own books again

Seen this?

Of course. But I prefer reading them in game.

[Iamgoofball]

Grr......Finished my Mallorean series. Now I have to wait 1 more year to read it again!

[ZombieMonkeyNZ]

"The Lusty Argonian Maid."

Don't look at me like...

That doesn't count. Too short.

[ZombieMonkeyNZ]

What? It was an iterest- AH [&@%!] OFF GOOGLE BOT! An interesting read...

[Hadrianus]

My favorite in game book would be The Liturgy of Affliction.

[Norroen Dyrd]

Suitcase by Sergei Dovlatov.
I like Dovlatov's humour

[Hadrianus]

About to start Ulysses by James Joyce

[Marco]

Finished Archangel by Robert Harris a week ago, and started Pompeii a couple of days ago. Good so far. It doesn't really build the same kind of suspension as his other books though, the reader knows what will happen at the end.

I'm reading the LOTR trilogy atm. My girlfriend bought my a Tolkien Bookset with the trilogy, The Hobbit and the Silmarillion. So I have plenty of reading material for now!
I've read the hobbit, and it was a great book, and I'm a few chapters into The Fellowship now. But upcoming exams are hindering my reading speed.

[Norroen Dyrd]

Finished Okkervil River by Tatyana Tolstaya, currently reading Kys by the same author.

I wish my girlfriend was so thoughtful
