Whenever you think now she's saying something nice about country XY it goes like "They are really friendly and humble people - but that's only because they're so incredibly stupid" :lol:

I've read A Wild Ride Through the Night by Walter Moers. It was quite ok, but not as good as I expected.

I have about 100 pages left on A Storm of Swords, the third book in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Short summary of the series so far: War. Kings. Creeps. Politics. Defect families. Zombies. Incest. Jon Snow knows nothing. Dragons... Oh, and everyone dies.

I don't really know if I like these books or not. It's massive and a very impressive series of books, but when all the characters just die one by one I kind of lose my interest. Still, I do look forward to seeing HBO's tv-series of it.

I'm now reading The hole of tough fat (the title is a bit weird...) by Mikeal Niemi. It's a sometimes humorous Science Fiction-book with a number of chapters that not really related to each other written from the point of view of a roader (a kind of spacetraveler). I think that it is very well written but sometimes I miss a storyline that goes through the whole book.

i haven't posted in here for such a long time. during the summer, i have also read Into The Wild by John Krakauer, which i loved as i love the movie and admire Chris McCandless. then i have read Jonathan Livingstone Seagull by Richard Bach, which was nice, but i wasn't so blown away by it as my friend who recommended it to me. and recently i adored Liquor by Poppy Z Brite, which was utterly different than Lost Souls, as far as style was concerned, but i loved the characters, and The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett, which was brilliant as any and every Pratchett book.

I'm reading A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne.
Not bad but different than I had expected.

Moab Is My Washpot by Stephen Fry. His autobiography describing his life since prep school to being released from prison. It was beautiful, funny, honest and I love Mr Fry even more now.

Im not much of a reader considering I spend most of my time writing, therefore am constantly reading THAT-
BUT- I did just recently read The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Very very good. And I was pissed at Neil in the end. But still very good.

^ I didn't find it that amazing, I think I only read it cause I thought Riddle's illustrations were fantastic lol. I'm just not a fan of Gaiman in general, yet I know heap of people love him.

I totally loved -Good Omens- but well, it was Gaiman and Pratchett and you can't do anything wrong with Pratchett.

LOL Okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the opinion of Gaiman 'round here is that he is kind of the suck xD

I've read The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett and am now waiting for more Discworld-books to hop into my bookshelf...
