I just finished reading MegaTokyo. True, it's a web-distribution comic book, but I read it.

Epic book. I have a feeling Oro would like it.
I loved that book myself.
About to start again on "The Seven Songs of Merlin". I read them once when I was a kid, but I can't remember much...should be fun.
All hail the Kingess of Inifity.

Thank you. It's an awesome book. XD
I'm reading the Circle Trilogy again. I haven't read all the strange offshoots Dekker wrote...I doubt I will. But the original Circle? Good stuff.

LOTR.
Not much really needs be said here. So I'll fill this slot with my opinion of hotwings.
G. E. W. D. Gewd. Above many things, most definitely. Though I'm a lover of fried chicken, and so more biased than a modern scientist. I even developed my own batter, that manages to hold up to the wing sauce...still get's soaked through, and so needs work. But holds up more better than a flour dredge.

You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in the same breath. You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death...

Picked up Dracula from the library today.
I would read online thanks to it being public domain, but I prefer to have a physical book in my hands.

^ Totally agree. I tried being a beta reader for a novel that a friend of mine wrote, and I just couldn't do it, even though the story and writing were awesome.
Well, I just borrowed The Princess Bride from a friend, so we'll see how that goes.

Yeah, I've heard it's great. But it's gonna be kind of weird, because I've never read a book from a movie that I've been so well-versed in. Because I. Love. That. Movie.vicorintian wrote:^well if it´s as good as the movie or better you are in for a treat!
