Probably never? Consider it your birthday gift to me.
I'll probably never get YSKOV! back, either. My friend has it, and she's started three other books since starting it. ~~~  Don't bother fighting back, Ein - you won't win. |

Remembering the Kanji by James Heisig.
It's a textbook for people learning Japanese. Definitely not for everyone but I can say for sure it is the best book I read in 2008. ~~~ "You don't know anything? So, what do you know?"
"At least i know that i don't know anything. And i know that you know that i don't know anything. And i know that you know that i know that..." "Oh man, shut the heck up!" --- You can open LCN with your cellphone. I do it right now. |

Swan Song
Black Seas of Infinity The End Holy crap. I've barely read anything all year. ~~~  Ok, according to the "How Evil Are You?" quiz, I´m pure evil. According to the FF-Fan quiz, I´m Laguna. According to the "What Pokemon Are You?" quiz I´m a..... BUTTERFREE!? |

Dune by Frank Herbert and A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin were the two major books that I really really liked that I read during last year, so.

I'm just not feeling very talkative.
Dreamsongs I (George R.R. Martin): There were quite a few really good stories, and I like his style. White Fang (Jack London): I re-read this, actually. It's always nice when people write about animals without anthropomorphizing them. You Shall Know Our Velocity! (Dave Eggers): Made me realize I love Dave Eggers. Honorable mentions (Or, books that I wanted to list here but couldn't think of anything to say about them): God Emperor of Dune, Veronika Decides to Die, and Lord of the Flies. ~~~  |

I rather enjoyed Snow Falling on Cedars.
Even if this book didn't have three sex scenes in it, it'd still be awesome. The story was very good. ~~~ |

Can't we just say novels instead of books?
Cause like, I'm a faggot and read more VNs than actual books last year. This post has been edited by Irysa: Feb 4 2009, 03:49 PM ~~~ |
