I haven't read a lot lately. Yes, I hate reading. It's hard to find a book that suits my mood. Percy Jackson series win my heart lately though And books I read and left unfinished lately are Marked from House of Night series, The Sorcerer, The Host, Breaking Dawn, and many more. I'm a lazy ass, really xD So, what books do you read recently? Are they good? (:

I'm not really much of a reader, I like to do things myself. But I recently read Gone, 1 and 2. Is a pretty good book, lot's of fantasy and a bit of romance.

I suggest you read Terry Pratchett. Get with the Mort. It's about Death hiring an apprentice.

Terry Pratchett is magnificent. and one of the best speakers I've ever heard. If you enjoy that kind of thing, I would also reccomend Neil Gaiman. He wrote the books the Starlight and Coraline were based on; they're very good.

I found out today that you have never read Ender's Game. Read it. The book is better than the script.

Jane! <3 I'm a really big reader.. haha. The last two books I've read have been out of my normal book zone, and I loooved them! I picked two books that we're more reality then a 'perfect world'. The first was Before I Die by Jenny Downham (Story of Tessa, a teenage girl with Cancer and its about her bucket list of things she wants to do before she dies) and the second was The Nature Of Jade by Deb Caletti (Main character Jade is a high school senior with a panic disorder and its also cute little love story). They were both amazing books and now I need to go out and buy more of Deb Caletti's books because they all look so interesting. I've never read the Percy Jackson series.. any good?

Hey Darl *hugs* Oops! Intimacy. Lol. And they look tempting. I'ma look for the books after I devour my untouched books (or after the Percy Jackson series) Yep Percy Jackson's cool, moreover for non-native speaker like me. The English is pretty simple to understand, and so is the story

Yes, she wrote that The Undomestic Goddess is about a girl named Samantha Sweeting, she's a lawyer, about to become a partner. She messed up this big deal and her client lost 50 millions pound. Going into an utter meltdown, she got into a train and ended up in the middle of nowhere. She asked for directions and the people mistaken her as looking for a job as a domestic helper. She got hired there, she learned how to cook, clean, etc. And also found a new love until her old life kept up with her. It's a funny and interesting story, you should read it!

The Lovely Bones is really good, so is the movie. The movie scared me a little, because it's quite realistic I think. At the moment I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, which I bought with a load of other books a few weeks ago then found out the Twitter "book club" is doing that, which doesn't seem to be working, but I read it because of that and I'm enjoying it anyways. Neil Gaiman's great, I've started reading a lot of his books recently. I'd also recommend Stardust and Smoke and Mirrors. I also read Land Of The Living by Nicci French recently, which disappointed me a lot, but another book by her (or I think it's a joint pen name?) called Losing You is brilliant if you're into that sort of thing.
