This One Summer by Jillian and Mariko Tamaki. I just started it today and oh man is it good. The artwork reminds me of Yotsuba -  character design is simple but really expressive, while the backgrounds are detailed and realistic. So many of them look like something straight out of a postcard. I think part of my love for this book comes from the fact that it takes place on the shore of Lake Ontario. I spent many summer weekends there with my family as a kid. It looks just like this in real life. I can see all the colors and hear/smell the breeze in every monochrome page.

I can't wait for summer now.

I feel obligated to read classics at the age of 18, so i'm currently reading Jack Kerouac's "On The Road," and John Steinbeck's "East of Eden."

Conn Iggulden, Genghis Khan series. Good so far.

Just  finished the 4 first books of "A song of fire and Ice", and I`m totally amazed, even though the 4th books was a bit boring compared to the 3 prequels!

Today I started reading the "Hedge Knight" which is a book that takes places 200 years~ before the events of a song of fire and ice!

Good reads!

If somone likes sci-fiction I recommend "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. One of the best books I ever read.

[[ptx]]

I can't figure out why people like Ender's Game. :/

I read it, the writing felt overly simplistic and the story itself very cliche, didn't even bother with the rest of the books in the series.

Now somewhere in the middle of the 2nd book of Hyperion Cantos.

I liked Ender's Game when I read it, but couldn't get even a quarter way into the second book in the series. Now I don't really remember much of the book other than the part where he beats the shit out of that Peninsular Spanish kid in the bathroom. I guiess it wasn't great,  but it was worth reading at least. The twist in the plot was really obvious to me, I called it at one of the first hints. 

[Krave]

Yep, Ender's Game plot wasn't really suprising... 

Hope you all fantasy guys read Witcher?

I'm currently, idly reading the original short stories of Sherlock Holmes, The Golden Bough and The Three Kingdoms.

King's The Stand, the extended version. Pretty good stuff. Post apocalyptic goodness.

This, after finishing The Malazan Book of the Fallen, ir something like that. Bigass epic fantasy. Gods and nations in conflict. Violence.

I've got lots of time nowadays to read (in little bursts), but not enough time to sit down and write.

I've read the first Genghis Khan book. It was excellent. If you just glance at a random page it might look dry, but could hardly put it down. Does the quality remain the same? 2100~ pages of the same would be ecstatic.
