It's first coming out as a hardbound then as a paperback after another year. I'll probably wait for the smaller version so that it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb among my other books.

‘There’s an old saying, Ibram. Keep your friends close, and the brother of the dead hero you replaced as commander closer. Or confined to quarters.’ - blenner

Gaunt blinked, and then lowered his pistol.
‘Throne damn you,’ he said, ‘please don’t say what I think you’re about to say.’
‘Colonel-commissar,’ said the lifeguard, ‘Meritous Felyx Chass is your son.’

ahaha just saying but I really was just waiting for this to happen after reading necropolis this was inevitable LOL

damn into the 30+ pages of the book and its already damn interesting... can't stop reading XD

The Magician King. God I love that series. The Magicians, the first book, hooked me, and now the second book is just... ASDFGHJKL. I think I'm going to have a seizure if the third book doesn't come out next year or something ;_;

Been reading Vampire Hunter D, vol. 2: Raiser of Gales. Holding off reading the Song of Fire and Ice... But will start reading it some time soon!

Been reading Gulliver's Travels. Always viewed it as sort of a children's book. Never realized how complex it really is.

Strangely, I've been reading this one as well, a few days back before the AC5 demo came.

Along with Instructions For Living Someone Else's Life, and Whack on the Side of the Head. YOU. FROM SOFTWARE. -___-


Also, did I mention that my sister gave me this Running With Scissors memoir? It felt like reading that yaoi/yuri thread. D:

RE: Books you're currently reading - clonezero - 01-27-2012

RE: Books you're currently reading - NiX - 01-27-2012

@Goat: isn't it cuz I recommended it to you? XD

@Raffy: Not yet. Growing up, I was much more of a non-fiction reader. Tongue

Yeah, just had a hunch about how time gap between ours isn't that far. LOL

Also, I never get tired of reading that Zombie Survival Guide I got since Christmas; What we need is... a survival guide regarding the Armored Core Universe! (not the forum lol)



RE: Books you're currently reading - clonezero - 01-27-2012

I read the wizard of oz book (which is as big as a textbook) when I was a kid and it was alot longer and a lot less "happy"

for one I found out that the lion found his courage fighting a big ass spider or something I just remember that and alice visiting a city inside a bowl. ... hmmm better find that book again Im getting interestedin it again XD.

RE: Books you're currently reading - NiX - 01-27-2012

^ The complexity of Gulliver's Travels that I mentioned is more about how it satirizes/comments on the human condition, religion, and the political events during that time. If there weren't so many footnotes, they'd have completely flown over my head.
