Tiffany (tiffanylishan) | 1 comments Jude The Obscure by Thomas Hardy. I don't think there is anything out there, that could be more tragic than this. Beautifully written. It managed to convince me to read all other books of Hardy's.

Ake (_ake) | 1 comments Just finished Hundred-year-old man who climbed the window and disappeared for my book club. Hilarious and entertaining. A book to carry while travelling.
Holidays are coming to town, probably start with "Trigger Warning" that I got for a gift.

Crookedtalks | 1 comments Crossfire by Miyuki Miyabe. The English translation is just so bad :( I think it would have been a really great thriller mystery if the translation was done better.

Yan | 5 comments Started reading The 5th Wave.... not too bad :)


message 269: by Hw (new)

Hw Gray | 5 comments Just finished Will Robie's 4th book, The Guilty. Not too bad, it is a detective story this time, the plot was suspenseful and killer unpredictable. Abit like the Cormoran Strike, but the story still not as strong as Robert Galbraith's.


message 270: by David (new)

David Fhu | 6 comments Just finish The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery (Author). I will strongly recommend all to read this book from time to time. I will give you a different after taste when you read it at different part of your life.

"Done because we are too menny." The grief and tragedy in Hardy's novels are incomparable. Have you read Tess of the D'urbervilles?

Daphne (kashigal) | 1 comments I've just completed Run to Me . It was an Ok book for me, didn't wow me as much as compared to the 2nd book to the series. Will be a book recommendation to fellow readers who are into the operatives with a little action-romance type of genre ^^

KEVIN | 1 comments Currently reading Brannan's Run its a fast-paced thriller set in Thailand. The characters are extremely well drawn and theres a twist that you won't see coming. All in all a tremendous read.

Phyllis (ingenioua) | 8 comments Currently reading A Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet ( second book in the series). I am on page 29 and I just started today. All I can say is that I am hooked onto it and a definite must read for teens who love YA novels! The books add a twist to children's favourite stories such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel! It is a completely different story but simultaneously, it is still quite relatable to the stories we have read when young :)

Sabrina Aokira (falcondiaries) | 1 comments I'm currently reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. I am at page 332 out of 510.

It's funny how I've read Da Vin Ci Code to The Lost Symbol but skipped digital fortress conveniently. The Lost Symbol lost me completely and now while reading this book, I wonder if it is worth reading Inferno.

Anyone here has read Inferno?

thats my next then, any other good ones you'd recommend from the genre?


message 295: by Rach (new)

Rach (rachn) | 1 comments Just finished: Terry Prachett's Eric (hilarious, highly recommended, especially if you like his Discworld series) and Jim Butcher's Summer Knight (4th book in the Harry Dresden series - alright, but not breathtaking).

Currently reading: The Other Wind by Ursula K. Le Guin, which is beautifully engaging and which brings me back to Earthsea, so I'm a happy bookworm right now.

I prefer the first 3 books from Robert Langdon series. Inferno is rather anti-climatic in its ending. However, it still has all the good parts of the other 3 books, i.e. the hints connected with history and arts.

Just finished Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. It's quite Hunger-Game-ish, it has interesting concept, albeit predictable development.

Thinking of reading something by Haruki Murakami before I pick up Rick Riordan's new book or some other fantasy book in my to-read list.

I loved the Iliad! How are you getting on with it? Try Robert Graves, too, if you like this sort of thing.

Now reading Shinjuku Shark by Arimasa Osawa.
