Currently reading a series called The Hungry City Chronicles, the second book. It's actually very hard to explain. You should read it yourself and you'll understand.SlappyMcGee wrote:What are you reading/ What have you just finished reading?
I just finished Neil Gaiman's American Gods, which was pretty awesome. It got a bit slow and confusing somewhere around the middle, but cam back to stride at the end.
No-spoiler preview:
Shadow is a criminal recently released from prison early after hearing about his wife's death. On his way back home, he encounters a conman named Mr. Wednesday. After some new shit comes to light, he decides to tour across America with Wednesday, who claims to be the American incarnation of Odin. What follows is some sort of mixture of Americana and religion. It's very, very recommended from Slappy for a modern book.
To get the ball rolling, I'd also like to hear people's thoughts on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson (Rest in Peace!) and on Fyodor Dostoevsky. (Also dead.)
Next read for me is Farenheit 451, which I've not read despite owning it.
oh, and because people like scores, I'd rate AG a 4.5/5.
And I read Faenheit 451 back in 6th grade. It's a very good read and I enjoyed it wholeheartedly.
