Jittersthe.Clown Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 4 total. Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension and The Hero of Ages are the original 3, The Alloy of Law is one set 300 years after these events. He's working on the second one of the Alloy timeline called Shadows of Self that's supposed to be out either this or next year. Also, check out Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive. There's two books out now, but he's planning 10. I enjoy his writing. 1 Quote Level 2 Warforged Druid STR: 2, DEX: 1, STA: 3, CON: 3, WIS: 2, CHA: 3 "If these people tell this story to their children as they sleep; then maybe someday they'll see a hero is just a man who knows he is free."

eXistenZorcise Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 At the moment I'm reading Ron Jeremy's (yes, THAT Ron Jeremy) autobiography and I must admit it's absolutely hilarious. He comes across as a really intelligent, warm, funny bloke (he has a masters degree) who just accidentally fell into the sordid world of adult films thanks to a certain part of his anatomy. Some of the stories are so outrageous that they are barely believable. I'd recommend P. G. Wodehouse (anything with Jeeves is always hilarious), Terry Pratchett (The Discworld series, if you like fantasy), or Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. Just thinking about those books makes me smile Three Men in a Boat is one of my favourite books of all time. It never fails to make me laugh and I usually re-read it about once a year. 1 Quote Link to comment
Robpocalypse Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Reading Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank. It's a look at what might have happened in the Cold War if the USSR had struck hard with their nuclear arsenal, following people from a small town called Fort Repose in Florida. The most interesting part for me is the differences between the reactions of the adults, for whom war was never the norm, only an exception in short bursts of their lives, and the teen and pre-teen, who are noted to have lived with the spectre of death at their door all their lives. So far, it's very good!Great book, I read it a few years ago.Some of it was dated (It was written in the 50s) but overall held up pretty well. Quote Link to comment
Robpocalypse Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I just finished The Big Short by Michael Lewis and will probably start on Flash Boys by him next. Solid books and Lewis explains some pretty complex topics in a manner thats pretty accessible. Quote Link to comment

Goofyfoot Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm a huge fan of, and have read most of James Patterson's novels, however I did just pick up a copy of Joe De Sena's Spartan Up!

Robpocalypse Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Finished Soldier Dogs by Maria Goodavage, book is about the military use and relationships of canines, excellent book and extremely powerful at points.

Jothra Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm just about done rereading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. My copy has a leather cover, stolen from a refillable journal I never used. Before that I read a novel written by a friend of mine (not bad, but needs more editing). Before that I read Across Asia on a Bicycle by Thomas Gaskell Allen and William Lewis Sactleben (kind of dry, but the voyage was full of interesting encounters). Before that I reread Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett. Ah, Pratchett! My next book will, hopefully, be S by J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst, which I was originally planning to read more than a month ago.

Ketsurou Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Darth Plagueis. It's...interesting. Well, to me. The last book I read was Millennium Falcon, which I thought was quite fun to read. It was awesome to learn the history of the Falcon.
