Currently reading Showdown by Ted Dekker. It's book one of about fifty bajillion in his 'Histories' universe. The man knows how to create a world, that's for sure.

If I finish all of those books with some Summer left over, I'll probably start Paradise Lost just for fun.

I don't have a lot of books but I try to get some when I can because reading is FUN! ;D

I wrapped up Stephen King's Firestarter the other day.

The most recent book I read were actually three; The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. This includes the books, "Way of the Shadows," "Shadow's Edge," and "Beyond the Shadows." All three books were gruesomely awesome, and the character development for the characters were vast and entertaining. So yeah, there's that.

Well, the last book that I actually finished was Brisngr by Christopher Paolini. And that was about six months ago. Everything else I've tried to read is just crap -_-

This will be many books but I thought they are defiantly worth checking out if you’re into either Sci-fi or a good fantasy series. Most of this comes from my outside hobby (Warhammer) and it is very rare that I wish to read a book. All of these kept me up in the late night hours eagerly reading chapter after chapter, wondering what would happen next.

Title: The Daemon's Curse

Author: Dan Abnett & Mike Lee

Summery: Warrior. Betrayer. Monster. Even amongst the treacherous dark elves, Malus Darkblade stands out as a study in ruthlessness. When he steals a map that leads him to a secret power hidden deep within the Chaos Wastes, Malus collects his cut-throat warriors and sets off to seek his fortune. Their Journey takes them into madness of Chaos and horrors that cause even a dark elf to quake in fear. Upon reaching the temple too late does Malus find out that it was a trap set for the fool who takes form the keeps. Now possessed by a Demon named Tz'arkan, he must recover 5 ancient relics in one year to free himself of the daemon or his soul forever be lost.

This is by far the best book I ever read. If you want to see a character that’s damn near pure evil, Malus nails it and more. It is a five part series and each one is exciting as the next. I would explain more about them but each summary rather spoils the book before it .

*The next five are part of a long series in the Warhammer universe at a time period referred to as The Horus Heresy.

After that the rest of the novels so far branch off into sub stories that you pick. Sorry if that was a lot but I thought I would share some books I enjoyed this year and last. ^_^

I just recently started reading my friends copy of "Forever" by Pete Hamill. It's about an Irish bloke that is immortal as long as he lived on the island of Manhattan. He arrives in the 1700's and it explores his amazing journey from then to now.

I'm actually getting stupid into it...

Dreamland- Sarah Dessen would be my most recent read, the story is about dating abuse. Personally I felt the story was incredibly strong, but the ending felt a little too dry and too clean. Possibly because it's one of her smaller books, though don't listen to me, it's still a good read and everyone has there own opinion. (READ HER BOOKS!)
