Lilira Lira Posted February 7, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 7, 2016 Last book I read... Fifty sheds of grey. It's an erotic book about sheds, its a good read! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fifty-Sheds-Grey-Erotica-not-too-modern/dp/0752265458 Link to comment
Caspar Posted February 7, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 7, 2016 Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It was okay, kinda heavy on the wish fulfillment for nerd boys. I loved the references and I felt it was fun to read a video game/VR story where it seemed like an actual game and didn't substitute generic fictional equivalents for real world pop culture and games. (A similar appeal to Snow Crash) The last bit of it was rushed and I felt some characters were underdeveloped. Supposedly a movie is being made of it. Link to comment

Marcy Posted February 8, 2016 Share #14 Posted February 8, 2016 The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up, by Marie Kondo. My life isn't changed so much, but I definitely have a lot less junk in my possession. Hey that's actually a really good book!! I finally read Coraline, because I wanna do some illustrations for it. Actually, anyone here with a Goodreads account? Add me up! Link to comment
TheLastCandle Posted February 8, 2016 Share #15 Posted February 8, 2016 Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed. A magical romp reminiscent of the best of the Arabian Nights which easily became one of my favorite fantasy novels in recent memory. Very much looking forward to the next book. Link to comment

Telluride Posted February 8, 2016 Share #17 Posted February 8, 2016 My last read was First and Only by Dan Abnett, one of the Gaunt's Ghosts novels. Been trying to go through the Gaunt's Ghost books so I can then pick up the Ciaphas Cain novels next. Link to comment
Juromaro Posted February 8, 2016 Share #18 Posted February 8, 2016 I just finished reading the Eon and Eona series by Allison Goodman http://www.alisongoodman.com.au/darkdaysclub.com/eon-and-eona/ - About a group of Boys/Men chosen by Elemental Dragons that are basically the care takers of the world, and this girl Eona pretends to be a boy so she can take the trial to see if she's chosen by the Dragon who's power is currently up for the year. Good story so I won't spoil the rest. Also last week I finished a real good gamer book called "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One alot of 80's pop culture that any nerd would love.

Kage Posted February 8, 2016 Share #19 Posted February 8, 2016 I got a signed copy of Games Wizards Play by Diane Duane. I only read it today sadly because she ended up sending it from Ireland to my billing address and not the shipping address ; ; Link to comment
Dat Oni Posted February 8, 2016 Share #20 Posted February 8, 2016 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61uNwd%2Brv1L._SX258_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg[/img] Not necessarily the full thing, just yet. Being a compilation of stories...Does one of them count? The last story I read in it was The Hound, which is famously the first story of Lovecraft's to mention the "Necronomicon". It was inspired by a visit Lovecraft made to the Flatbush Reformed Church in Brooklyn. Link to comment
Warren Castille Posted February 8, 2016 Share #21 Posted February 8, 2016 I'm currently halfway through Memory of Light, the last book in the Wheel of Time series. I've been mainlining the whole series at work since about July and it's been wonderful. Prior to that, I reread Rainbow Six. Prior to THAT, I read a fantastic book called Superposition, which deals with quantum entanglement and string theory, kind of. It's sort of a horror book, but it's really neat. Link to comment
Martiallais Posted February 8, 2016 Share #22 Posted February 8, 2016 The last book I read was Transformers: Retribution and prior to that was Gears of War: The Slab. Ssssh stop judging me. Currently working my way through House of Leaves now that I've got a renewed interest in it after being hung up on a puzzle for a bit. Link to comment
Dogberry Posted February 8, 2016 Share #23 Posted February 8, 2016 In the Dust of This Planet by Eugene Thacker. I liked it. Horror and philosophy, etc. Probably going to read the next book in the series, but I'm going to probably read something lighter first. Probably book from the Culture series next. Link to comment
Rowe Posted February 8, 2016 Share #24 Posted February 8, 2016 I read The Martian. Then I went to see the movie. I'm pretty hardcore. Link to comment
111 Posted February 8, 2016 Share #25 Posted February 8, 2016 The last book I read was 'The Arsenal of Democracy' which was about the American rearmament effort during WWII and the3 Ford company in particular. It was really good! The last book I listened to (on audible) was the 'Bands of Mourning' which is one of the Mistborn sequels. It was also really good. Link to comment
