I picked up The Eye of the World, the first book in The Wheel of Time series. It's pretty awesome. It's typical medieval fantasy, but the writing style draws you in early. You realy feel like you're there, and you feel the tension of certain events. I just got the book 3 days ago, and I'm well into it.
So, what books are you guys reading right now?

Well, thankfully I don't have anything to read from school, so I'm switching between Assembly Language Step-By-Step and Star Wars: I, Jedi depending on the mood I'm in.

The Hitch hikers Guide to the Universe (series) is the funniest thing you could possibly read. Buy it Now.

Recently I read George Orwells "Animal Farm". It's about 95 pages long.
In the past I've liked: 1. Dracula -Bram Stoker. 2. Jurassic Park -Michael Criton. 3. Harry Potter series |
