Unbroken Experiment Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I just picked up the book titled "Quicksilver" by Callie Hart from a store mom and I were at. It's pretty graphic, so, definitely adult-oriented. It's not a book any kid should read, that's for sure. Just sayin'. How about anyone else? Does anyone else here read books that aren't manga? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a romantic at heart, so Quicksilver might be dark romance, but It's right for my taste in books. ^^ ^^ ^^ I'm not even half way through it yet, but I'm hooked on the story so far. Are you currently reading any books or any book series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ablackenedrose Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I read quite a lot (currently at 35 books read this year, a bit of a slump). I'll give almost anything a try and enjoy works from a broad variety of genres, but I'm particularly partial to dark/epic fantasy, science fiction (I'll take any level of hardness) and supernatural horror.

Albireo Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Indeed! Reading has always been a favorite past time of mine. Although I do go through slumps. I finished Brandon Sanderson's Wind and Truth recently, which unfortunately took quite some time. It was a really good end to the first part of The Stormlight Archive, but I'm not looking forward to how long it'll be before the next arc starts. (IIRC, he's said he's going to write all of era three Mistborn, and a couple Elantris sequels before he finishes Stormlight.) Also finished The Myth of Sissyphus by Albert Camus. I genuinely enjoy philosophical-type works, even though I usually feel dumb after reading them. I understood some of what I read, but not even close to all of it, lol. OP, what're some of your favorite books/authors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably have to re-read it when new ones come out, it's been so long. Have you read any of Sanderson's other books? I picked up Tress of the Emerald Sea, so that'll probably be my next one to read. Only a couple chapters in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already finished the first Mistborn trilogy and am planning to get to Wax and Wayne at some point. I did read the first three books of Stormlight Archive, but that was back in 2018; eight years on, I've forgotten enough of the series to necessitate a full reread just to read Rhythm of War and Wind and Truth and I'll confess that I just don't feel up to it. (The fractured response of the fanbase to Wind and Truth doesn't help, either.) Personally, I'm just starting up Grave Empire. I've had a thing for fantasy settings undergoing industrialization since playing Dishonored however many years ago, so the book's blurb was practically catnip to me.

I've had a thing for fantasy settings undergoing industrialization since playing Dishonored however many years ago, so the book's blurb was practically catnip to me. The original Mistborn trilogy was great, imo. Wax and Wayne was good, but I didn't like the vibe as much, but certainly worth a read. Probably at least in part because I wasn't expecting the tone and setting change. (I still have to read the final volume of it, myself.) I feel you on Stormlight. They're really long - I didn't re-read them, lol. I've probably forgotten quite a bit, but they were still enjoyable, and I remembered enough. I haven't read anything about fan reactions to Wind and Truth, but I loved it. I didn't play much of Dishonored, but that seems like a cool setting for a novel. Almost done with The Intrigues of Haruhi Suzumiya, just have the epilogue and afterward left. It's taken me quite a while; the first half I read sporadically over months, lol. It was enjoyable, but I have to be in the mood for light novels. I've blown through the second half the past few days, and it's added some interesting developments to the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natsume Posted Tuesday at 11:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:09 PM I started reading The Dream Spheres today. I haven't read enough yet to know how it's going to be. I haven't done a lot of book reading this year. Sometimes I get into it and read one or a few a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animechat Posted Wednesday at 08:34 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:34 AM I love to read Agatha Christie books and even read some James Bond books as I wanted to see what was different in them from the movies. Mostly less and less reading books right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton Posted Wednesday at 09:10 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:10 PM (edited) I literally read a 500 page novel every day in addition to writing my own. I can usually finish off Journey to the West and Count of Monte Cristo in 3 days, apiece. Edited Wednesday at 09:12 PM by Clayton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
