I am currently reading What's Eating Gilbert Grape and it's really damned good. It's amazing how much it differs from the movie and there are some aspects of the book that I rather enjoy much more than the movie, but there are aspects of the movie that I liked better than the book as well. Also I think it's really cool that the author of this book wrote the screenplay for the movie as well. The book really touches the heart though. If you've seen the movie and liked it, then definitely read this book. It's well worth it.

Pandora's Star by Peter F.Hamilton. I haven't touched it in a while, been too busy with FF and MGS. <_<

I was reading a history book, Rebels and Redcoats , which I finished a week ago.

Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett.

A very good and very funny little unconventional fantasy novel. Definitely one of my favourite Discworld novels.

Well I just finished reading River God by Wilbur Smith - highly recommend to anyone who enjoys historical adventure stories based on fact with realism and blunt writing style .

Most of the stuff I read are mangas, but I just read this one novel (originally Japanese) called "Ai no Kusabi". It's pretty much an erotic sci-fi fantasy kind of story, but there is a plot!

The last book I read was for my class last semester: "Disgrace" by J.M. Coetzee. It's not something I would read for myself, but it was interesting enough and I can't help but pity the main character because his life was pretty much going down the drain, although according to the views of the other characters, he deserved it.

Whoa I just counted about 30 books I have to read. x_x Decided to read them one at a time though.. starting with Animal Farm as it is the shortest.

Animal Farm is great! Reading it was probably the first time I understood anything about politics

A person who likes Animal Farm and 1984 might also enjoy Bulkagov's Master and Margarita. It was written in the Soviet Union before the second world war, and it contains heavy political satire. It's not similar at all to Orwell's books, but should one be able to acquire a version where the parts that the Soviet officials cencored from the original text are highlighted, it would be a really surprising and a teaching read. Don't know if such versions are printed anymore, I used to have one in Finnish. But even if there's only a normal version available, read it! It's a great book!

I recently finished Dan Simmon's Hyperion, and now I'm reading the sequel, the Fall of Hyperion.
