House of Leaves sounds interesting, as does Imajica, although I think it would be a bit tedious to read.

Youth In Revolt by C.D. Payne. Almost five hundred pages, this book is very funny.

The Gunseller, Hugh Laurie. What Hitchhiker's Guide did for SF, this does for spy fiction.

"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."

"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I�ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor

My new novel:

Maledictions: The Offering.

Now in Paperback!

He writes? Awesome, be right back, buying that book.

Also, borrowed House of Leaves from someone starting to read soon...

The last book that I read was "The Shipping News" and it was pretty good. The writing style took some getting used to...

Do you post in every topic that you click?

If you don't have anything to add to the discussion, then don't say anything. Going "i don't read lol" in a topic about what books you've read is postwhoring. Cut it out.

Re: read any good books lately?

i should probably mention now that House of Leaves is like 800 pages but every single page is enjoyable so that's not a bad thing

Re: read any good books lately?

I second the suggestion of the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. It is such an amazing series that you definitely shouldn't pass it up!

And don't worry, you'll love it even if you don't like physics.

(If you happened to see the movie for The Golden Compass, that didn't do it justice. It's exponentially better when you read it.)

If you like Sci-fi.
Pebble In The Sky (probably my favorite Asimov book), by Isaac Asimov
Journey To The Center Of The Earth, by Jules Verne
Ender's Shadow (geared to younger audience, but still good), by Orson Scott Card.

Re: read any good books lately?

I don't know about anyone else, but i love the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer. Twilight was so good, I finished it before the day was over, and, if I rememebr correctly, it's a little more than 200 pages.The last book of the series, Breaking Dawn, comes out August second. I'm so excited.

Re: read any good books lately?

well since this is bumped.....

Wait... I remember seeing a picture of Izzy's stack of Battle Royale mangas... is that something different?

It was a book, then written in manga format, and then made into a movie. Ive yet to read the manga version or see most of the movie. The book is really good dispite being bith low level reading and vulgar at the same time
