I have not read The Hobbit previously nor any of the trilogy. But I'm planning on now starting with The Hobbit.

Be sure also to consider giving The Silmarillion a try. It's like an expansion on the myths presented in Tolkien's works, describing things like the creation of the world and whatnot, and the happenings of the various ages.

Just read ''The White Tiger'' by Aravind Adiga. Very interesting storytelling and I found it enjoyable.

**AsuraOkami** · 01-22-2012

I just finished reading Clockwork angel by Cassandra Clare it was great book, check it out. I will be reading the next books in the series. The book i am going to start reading today is boneshaker. Hopefully it is good since it has some of my favorites in it(steam-punk, zombies, pirates, airships and adventure).

Reading The Hunger Games in preparation of the movie adaptation.

**Byuu** · 01-23-2012

I'm reading "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothus, pretty good book so far, great lore and writing

I started reading this two days ago. It's a much different style from what I remember when reading LOTR back in high school. I like it so far.

**Fedos** · 02-21-2012

I just finished off Steven Erikson's Memories of Ice the third book in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series and man what a ride! Now I've just started reading Dune for the first time. Only forty pages in, kind of dry so far, I guess I'll see where it goes from here.

**RedDragon7** · 02-21-2012

The Hunger Games trilogy:

Finished: The Hunger Games
Finished: Catching Fire
Currently reading: Mockingjay

**Thorzilla** · 02-21-2012

I love reading, although I barely find time between work, personal stuff, friends and gaming to do so. However, I've bought all 3 Mass Effect books and I'll be reading them all. Already restored my faith in videogame based books with both Guild Wars ones, so here's hoping for these 3 to be any good.

**Nick_Scryer** · 02-21-2012

Literally just finished A Storm of Swords. Most Enjoyable read I've ever had, from start to finish it was just EPIC. Ordered a Feast for Crows online straight after finishing it. I love this series so much, every character is awesome and every storyline is beautifully written.

Don't know how G.R.R.M can top Swords though.

My sig.

**The Black Wolf** · 02-27-2012

I am reading an older book called "Left Behind". It's about what happens to the people left behind after The Rapture. I am really enjoying it.

I must say, this book really picked itself up around the middle to end. I think what really did it for me was the transformation of Paul Atredies or 'Maudib', and the not so subtle allusions to our own time. Really good book, I'll be seeking the sequels.

Now I'm off to read Stephen King's The Stand for the second time. It's been years but I remember it being one of the best works of King that I have ever read. I'm also periodically leafing through Tolkien's The Book of Lost Tales 2. Trying to read through the Middle Earth works in a suggested order of continum for the first time.

**The Black Wolf** · 04-09-2012

Finally finished "Left Behind" and am debating whether not to start "Tribulation Force" or read something else before it.

**TetanossauroRex** · 04-10-2012

'Salem's Lot. I've started reading it mainly because I was dying to know more about Father Callahan(Wolves of the Calla).

Finished off today Stephen King's "The Stand." Only my second time reading it, and I remember greatly enjoying it the first time. It was wonderful, if not a just a tad long winded, still probably my favorite King work other than anything in The Dark Tower series.

Now I'm off to read R. Scott Bakker's The Darkness That Comes Before for the second time in The Prince of Nothing series.

**Oatmeal** · 05-04-2012

Reading one of James Patterson books my favorite author. I'm Reading The Big Bad Wolf.

**Eltimas** · 05-04-2012

Finished Kalilah wa-Dimnah by the Indian Bidpai. The book which only became renowned world-wide when it got translated into Arabic by Abdullah Ibn al-Muqaffa and became one of the most important literary works in the Arabic literature.

I started The Color Purple by Alice Walker and I'm 140'sh pages in. Spectacular and emotional epistolary novel.

**Nuvian** · 05-06-2012

**Kuro** · 05-06-2012

James Patterson's
Run for your life I enjoy Patterson's work

**RaY_210** · 05-07-2012

Not reading anything now. But I think I'm gonna start reading the Game of Thrones after this season is over.

**The Black Wolf** · 05-07-2012

Currently reading this:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...miccoverlettA/

I read it once every year for the up coming school year. Since I bought it, my grades shot up. It was the semester that I bought it that I got all As for the first time, 4.00 semester GPA.

It's an excellent book, but I need to check out "Study Skills for Dummies".

**Tutankhamun** · 05-11-2012

Been reading slowly lately but finally finished the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

Going to read this next:

**Fedos** · 05-17-2012

I just finished R. Scott Bakker's The Darkness That Comes Before. As I said above, it was my second time reading it, after taking an extended break from the series. I really enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fantasy series that's different. Now I'm off to read Martian Time Slip by Phillip K. Dick, a newly discovered author.
