So what'cha reading?

[KouAidou]

I'm revisiting senior year in college with Mishima Yukio's Confessions of a Mask (in English) and Edogawa Ranpo's Vampire (in Japanese).

What Les Miserables translation do you recommend? I've been interested in reading it.

 

[Oedipus 3000]

I remember reading that one summer in high school... And not liking it as much as the movie. :laugh:


Right now I'm working my way through Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy. About halfway through the first book, and liking it quite a lot. But then, I've never read anything by the guy that I *didn't* like! :thumbs:

Which movie? the Gerard Depardieu one or the Liam Neeson one? I didn't care for the Neeson one as much as the Depardieu one.

I got the first book of the mistborn trilogy myself with the Gathering storm, just to see how Sanderson's work is. He's going to be filling pretty big shoes with the next two wheel of time books

What Les Miserables translation do you recommend? I've been interested in reading it.

The one I read was the Cameron Mackintosh/royal Shakespeare company one from signet classics. It does the translation really well and keeps the same styling of Hugos original writings.

I would honestly suggest reading it in french but if you can't this version does it really well in english.

[Aoi Kurenai]

I've just started reading The Sorceress, the third book in the Secrets of Nicholas Flamel series. Been loving the series so far and can't wait to catch up to the current release.

Also just started Love Walked In, randomly saw it at a thrift store, I liked the description on the back and picked it up for about $1.50. It's a pretty good read so far, though I'm only a few chapters into it.

Annnd not sure if I should include it since it's really not recreational reading but rather something for class, I read all of Daisy Miller today. Found myself rather engrossed with the thing and couldn't put it down at all, though I'm not used to reading the sort of style it was written in, so it was just the slightest bit difficult.

Gonna be reading The Mysterious Benjamin Society's first book and The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance soon as well. I've really been looking to Fatal Alliance since, though I'm not the biggest Star Wars fan, I love the Old Republic story.

 

[Forever Knight]

My latest read.


I recommend it to all.
