Yes, I'm reading text on a computer screen that asks what people are reading. It's fascinating. You should check it out sometime.

I'm currently reading this for my English IV class:

Rereading this for the hell of it.

Currently I'm reading a song of ice and fire. I'm on this book right now.

Once I finish that I'm going to continue reading the Drizzit Do'Urden series, this one is up next.

I'm reading this right now.

It's about the Internet. No, I'm not kidding.

I read Life of Pi and did not like it at all after I read Max and the Cats by Moacyr Scliar, which was written about 10 years ago. Whereas Life of Pi places emphasis on the whole "tiger on boat" episode for some hundred pages, Max and the Cats is about the whole life of an individual, and the jaguar on the boat was one of the many episodes. Oh, and, spoiler alert, they end up very similarly.

Ironically, after reading that book, Life of Pi is not as "fresh, original, smart…" anymore. Maybe Yann Martel put quite a lot of Indian culture curiosities (and some gore) to make it with "absorbing lore", but that is about it.

Back to the discussion, I recently finished and enjoyed:
