[quote="Blank"][quote="terra"] I started reading Robert Jordan (Knife of Dreams) again and it feels like he's been dragging stuff on way too long. >_<[/quote] ...You know he died... right?  [/quote]
Yes. Which was part of the reason I picked up his books again.
I'm just saying the immense attention to detail and the lengthy, varied plot threads that I enjoyed when I was younger wear on me now.

I say it was absolute brilliance 'til the sixth book. Then it kinda turned to shit. But it was still pretty good shit.
Anyway, I'm considering reading Machiavelli's The Prince.

I can handle dry, boring-ass reading. I've read the Art of War about three times. V V

What a drag, unless you're into really boring homoerotic epics.

haha oh the epic of gilgamesh....ridiculous.
I recently finished reading "World War Z" which, i might add, is a fantastic zombie apocalypse book (max brooks anyone?) and i'm starting on Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" the beginning is already mad awesome.
Who's into post apocalyptic fiction here?

I've been reading a ton of crytozoology books lately. Apparently, my school is two towns over from the urban-legendary Melon Heads. :shock: Look 'em up if you want, but my roommate and I are having a hard time sleeping at night now because my window is surrounded by woods... child-like cannibals.... :: shiver::

I've read a couple ebooks about him and his stuff. If you've never read his notes, I recommend it.

I've watched documentaries. He was a brilliant dude.
Still reading On the Road, but mostly just during breaks at work. Reading schedule has slowed because of business with work, personal things, and preparing for my semester in Japan. 
Read: I'm playing 23 hours of Pokemon a day.
