This thread is for discussion of books. Books you're reading, books you've read, books you're interested in, etc.
--Tom Clancy is lame--


But anyways. I'm currently reading Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It's interesting, but I'm having difficulty getting into it, partially because of school, and partially because the month before I started it, I had just finished the Dark Tower series.

Some books I have recently enjoyed include Hesse's Steppenwolf, Asimov's The Gods Themselves and Vonnegut's Galapagos

Some books that I have recently NOT ENJOYED include Rijneveld's The Discomfort of Evening, Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and a biography of Ho Chi Minh that was poorly translated and quite superficial. I guess I don't know what I had expected to be packed into 110 pages.
