AWKWARD ZOMBIE

I finished reading An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, by Chris Hadfield. He describes the things that are required of you to be an astronaut, the mindset that helps you prepare yourself, and how it reflects on every goal you set for yourself. Mainly though, he writes about his experiences of becoming an astronaut and the situations he's been in and it's very interesting, especially for those interested in that sort of thing.

I'm going to read The Hobbit, then I'm going to read The Lord of the Rings books.

Manfred is basically the greatest

I've been reading Dharma Bums by Kerouac and it's good. Not as good as On the Road by any means and it can be kind of pretentious at times but I've always liked the way Kerouac writes so I'm having a good time.

I'm almost up to date with Salvatore's Drizzt novels.

I' m reading a few books right now. I borrowed a clockwork orange off my friend...extremely weird so far. And I'm reading The Great Gatsby so I'll be ahead of my class when it becomes required, and I'm reading some book my school's librarian recommended to me called Rats Saw God. Haven't started it yet, so I have no real idea what it's about.

I also finished Mister B. Gone by Clive Barker about a week ago. I didn't really like it, and the only reason I finished it was because it was a short book.

To congratulate myself for passing my midterms I got myself the Silmarillion, the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Dis gun be gud.

yaaaaay book buddies

i finally got a library card for my local library and picked up what i thought was a booklist for an online discussion thing. turns out it was the wrong list, but hey!

i got romeo and juliet, the great gatsby, and the catcher in the rye. additionally, my mom recommended the picture of dorian gray, and im reading that now.

Mercutio is by far the greatest character in all of Shakespeare

Words of Radiance released today. It's slightly bigger than Way of Kings, which was already classified a lethal weapon.

I finished reading Cloud Atlas and some parts were really good (mainly the futuristic parts) whilst others I found quite boring (basically the first short story). I also had to read them fully rather than half-and-half like it was intended because I just found myself forgetting the characters.
Also Blaze by Stephen King is pretty good light reading if you don't want something too heavy (plus I liked the Of Mice and Men idea) but the ending was a bit bad, imo. Or maybe that's just because it didn't go how I wanted it to, haha.

Just ordered I Am Legend, The Road, The Stand, and The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Also, I'm working on reading the Song of Ice and Fire series. Only on book one right now. I probably should've waited before ordering the above mentioned books, since I'll want to read them now.

I'm really book hungry for some dystopian future stories. I just finished reading the Birthmarked trilogy, and I thought the first and last books were good, but the second felt like it was rush-written.

I need more dystopian future books, if anyone has read any good ones?
