Favorite Books and Current Reads

[Trifkin]

I always hate to double post, but I wanted to talk about the book I just picked up.

Sometimes, I go quite a while without reading a classic sci-fi novel. I get distracted with modern literary fiction or a great piece of non-fiction or maybe some straight up fantasy... so that when I come back to sci-fi, I've forgotten how much I freaking love this stuff. Hot damn! Last night I started reading The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester, one of my favoritest sci-fi authors, and I am enjoying the hell out of it. :3

Currently re-reading Akira as I slow release it onto my classroom shelf, also reading "Of Dice and Men", which is very interesting.


Also a billion fucking homework assignments. I'm reading those as well.

"Jitterbug Perfume", or "Skinny Legs and All", by Tom Robbins. Also, almost anything by Chuck Palahniuk. I recommend highly.

@Starfe - I'll have to add it to the Never-Ending List. :3 And sweet! I'll check out that video soon.

@Fenn-Tyr - Yes!! Palahniuk is fantastic. /high five
I've heard good things about Robbins too.

Help me choose which book I want to read next! I can't decide of the two of these!

Oh but of course, Allegiant comes out on Tuesday. *drools* Finished Insurgent last night. MY GOD THIS BOOK SERIES IS INCREDIBLE!! And what a horrible cliff hanger. I'm glad I paced myself and only have to wait two days.

Familiars.

Matched is one that I've actually picked up in the store and read the first five chapters of :3 so... actually what I read was very engaging. It will be bought eventually.

However, I did take the advice and purchase The Familiars #2. The first was very delicious (I got it bargain priced, too, when B&N offered it as a "Daily Find" discounted price of $2 or $3). It's an adorable children's book and I'm really looking forward to the second. Especially since I am reading Allegiant (Divergent series #3) which is pretty heavy, it's going to be great to have this to counter that heaviness.

Reading a great book about cross cultural management (sorry I'm not into novels right now, I mostly read books where I can learn things), the author talks about his experience in China, the US, Japan, Germany and so on.

Borrowed two books at my college library: one about martial arts in general, and another one about principles of judo (not only the techniques but also the philosophy and what Jigoro Kano wanted to teach).

The second one is really interesting, it's a good extension of what I learn at the club.
