I absolutely love to read. I always keep a plethora of novels by my bedside. I'm currently reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer (DON'T JUDGE. It's not like Twilight at all. >|) My favorite books are Fire (Medieval Fantasy), Infinite Days (Vampire Fantasy), Life As We Knew It (Post-Apocalyptic) Fallout 2 Strategy Guide, and the Fallout: New Vegas Strategy Guide. What about you guys?

I have very, VERY distinct views on literature...but this isn't the topic for that XD
I just finished "Luna" by Julie Anne Peters, which was wonderful, easily one of my favorites.
I just started "The Picture of Dorian Grey," so here's hoping =3
And my favorite works are To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm, Life of Pi, and Anthem.

Aw, I love To Kill A Mockingbird AND Animal Farm. =D
Well, technically the last thing I read was a Pokemon Stadium strategy guide, BUT XD
The last legit book I read was "Oh My Goddess! First End," an original novel based on the anime/manga of the same name, written by a seiyuu from the anime (Yumi Tohma, the voice of Urd). SO GOOD <3
And honestly, I prefer reading manga/comic books over novels. Not to say that I hate novels or somethin' (there are plenty of good ones), I just prefer images to go along with the text to emphasize emotions, plot direction, and settings. o_ob

The Green Mile by Stephen King. From what I've read so far it's an awesome book.

Game of Thrones is an awesome show! Was the show based on the book of was it the other way around?

show based on the book. I tried reading the first one and got pretty bored with it. Though i've heard it picks up pretty late in the book, and then the 2nd is a lot better, but it just didn't hook me. I'm reading I Can Wear Midnight right now. Terry pratchetts new book in the tiffany aching series. I'm reading it to take a break from wheel of time. I read wheel of time well it was coming out, and read the first one about 11 years ago, so with the last book in the series coming out in another 4 months or so, i wanted to read through everything again. It's going to be a pain to get through the book 5-7 slump.

you know what book you'd probably also love nin.....well books as it were, but you can get them in a collection.....the ware tetralogy by rudy rucker. if you havn't read them already that is
Rucker’s four Ware novels—Software (1982), Wetware (1988), Freeware (1997), and Realware (2000)—form an extraordinary cyberweird future history with the heft of an epic fantasy novel and the speed of a quantum processor. Still exuberantly fresh despite their age, they primarily follow two characters (and their descendants): Cobb Anderson, who instigated the first robot revolution and is offered immortality by his grateful “children,” and stoner Sta-Hi Mooney, who (against his impaired better judgment) becomes an important figure in robot-human relations. Over several generations, humans, robots, drugs, and society evolve, but even weird drugs and the wisdom gathered from interstellar signals won’t stop them from making the same old mistakes in new ways. Rucker is both witty and serious as he combines hard science and sociology with unrelentingly sharp observations of all self-replicating beings. This classic series well deserves its omnibus repackaging, particularly suitable for libraries. — Publisher's Weekly.

Highly recommend The Hunger Games to anyone who's into post-apocalyptic fiction. I might re-read it again soon.

I read the hunger games. I was incredibly good! Im not sure if I want to read Mocking Jay... Who did you like more Peeta or Katniss?

Mockingjay was an absolute joke. Everything Katniss had to endure both physically and mentally was completely irrelevant by the end. And I like them both equally. :3

Yeah. So I'm definitely not reading Mockingjay. I liked Katniss a lot more than Peeta during that time he sided with the careers, than you realize he did it for both of them and I ended up liking him alot.
