Presently reading a couple of fantasy novels...
but the one I'm actively reading at this moment is the 9th novel in my FAVOURITE fantasy series ever of all time:
CHAINFIRE by Terry Goodkind, in the Sword of Truth series!!
ING ! WOW! Its been over a year since I read the last novel, and WOW! The characters! I forget how much I ing love them and the world Terry Goodkind has created!
This blows THE WHEEL OF TIME outta the water if you ask me - not to discredit that series though, it's phenomenal fantasy too... I'm pumped to read the latest book that just came out as well!

| The last book I read was Night by Elie Wiezel (Holocaust Survivor). It is a short book and you can read it easily in 3-4 hours. Probably one of the best books I've read in a long time and one that stayed on my mind for a few days after. I am now reading "The Torment of Others" by Val McDermid..this is a crime book and really like how the author goes into the mind of a murderer. |

Yes! I just read Night aswell. Beautiful book, I couldnt believe what I was reading for most of it, so so sad. I aswell was quite traumatized afterwards. |

I saw Yohan's sci-fi book thread and thought I'd revive this one.
I got so many books this year from the bookstore I work at due to all of the sales, but I haven't touched any of them yet. I have so many to choose from I don't know where to start...but even with all of my choices, I still always want to read Helter Skelter again! |

I have a feeling you won't like most of them, a lot of them are girly novels, scrapbookingstuff, cookbooks and wedding books. Though...I have a large selection of true crime - mostly serial killers and murder type stories, forensics type stuff and ghost stories/hauntings. However...if you touch those, I'll kill you. |

I read a book a long time ago that changed my view on war and on humanity itself. 'Johnny Got His Gun' by Dalton Trumbo.
It was recomended to me by a friend after I returned from my Infantry qualification course and it haunted me. It still haunts me. Occasionally when I get in a car I get a shiver down my spine from the passing thought of this book.
It's the story of a young American soldier who gets hit by an artillery shell on the last day of World War One, losing his arms, legs, and face - and spends the rest of his life in a hospital bed trapped inside his own mind.
This is one book everyone should read, especially in today's political climate.
You can read selections from this work here |
