The Epic of Gilgamesh: pretty interesting age-old themes of fear of death and the search for the elixir of life.

Also reading The Elfstones of Shannara, by Terry Brooks. I know Brooks is a writer that people either love or hate, but I dig his writing and the worlds he sets his stories in.

"(Burton & Swinburne in)  The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack"

It's a fun steampunk book and is much more well written than I expected.

Mine probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise with the waves that the television show has been making over the last few weeks. I've been reading George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, which has been pretty fantastic so far. I'm sort of scared considering that the author hasn't been so great when it comes to releasing the series' installments in a...timely manner. But I'm enjoying it a lot.

I'm currently somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of the way into the second Dragon Age novel. Not enjoying it as much as the first one, but it's still some good reading.

Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World by Jane McGonigal.

Really great book about how game theory can be applied to major institutions like education and business. Pretty fascinating read, I found this book when I saw the author on Stephen Colbert.

Like so many others, I'm getting my A Game of Thrones on. I just watched episode 3 last night and I'm keen to read all about the next episode before it airs, because I'm certain that some shit is about to go down.

Just before I heard about the new tv show I  got into the A Song of Ice and Fire books and am working my way through the series Just finished A Game of Thrones and am getting stuck into A clash of Kings. Really good books and it feels like the perfect time to be reading them with all the buzz about the show. It's nice to know what's coming up in the next episode and get excited for it.


Anyone else ploughing through them at the moment?

I see now I really should have skipped to the end of this thread before posting, A Song of Ice and Fire has struck Whiskey Media.


Awesome to see others are enjoying the books for the first time now as well.

@nk19: What did you think of A Storm of Swords? The early momentum of the series still rolling?

@davidjohnkeen: It was really good, there are moments in the third book that caught me completely off-guard (and unless you have been spoilered, they'll get you too.) As for the momentum, It lags in a few spots until the action kicks up. How are you enjoying the series thus far?

@nk19: Oh good, I was a little worried it would start to get a little stale or fall off pace at some point. From reading around on the net it seems some people only like the first book and the others don't click as well. The series for me has been great. I could hardly put A Game of Thrones down and am now really enjoying A Clash of Kings as well, I'm only about 150 pages into the second book but the characters that get some significant attention were my favorites from the first book. No spoilers so far thankfully, I'm trying to be extra careful now that I'm enjoying the books so much.

You rolling straight into book four now?

After putting off reading for a while, I've started American Gods this morning. The introduction of characters seems a bit obtuse, but it feels well written so far. I've got a ton more things to start though aswell, including:

-A scanner darkly

-The last wish (Witcher book)

-1Q84 (Recent Murakami novel in 3 parts)

-A Game of thrones

-On stranger tides

And about 50 others. Having a girlfriend doing an English degree leaves me with an infinite amount I Want to read

I figured I'd bump this thread instead of starting yet another one (seriously, there are dozens of them already).
 
I'm currently reading Caliban's War, having finished its predecessor Leviathan Wakes only a month or two ago. Interestingly, that book was an impulse buy for me, something I've never done with novels before. Haven't regretted it yet!
