Reading Again

[ravenchyld]

When I was little I used to read obsessively. My parents had trouble getting me to go to bed because I'd just stay up late reading. I could navigate the high school halls between classes without lifting my eyes from the page. But in university I didn't have the time to read and my book consumption has dropped dramatically

Only ONE?

You have GOT to be kidding me.

I'll settle for recommending Kushiel's Dart, by Jacqueline Carey.
Mind you, it's first in a series... followed by Kushiel's Chosen, and Kushiel's Avatar. Kushiel's Scion is "same world, different series".

I put one in all caps just for you.

And lucky you, you get to recommend another.

I've already read the Kushiel trilogy :)

Earth, by David Brin (or if I already made you read that, Kiln People)

[gwenlister]

American Gods by Neil Gaiman

Honestly. Its an amazing book.

I've ready Neverwhere and enjoyed it. I will add this to my list :)

I hate to read now, although I used to read a lot when I was younger too. If you've never read Candide by Voltaire, I recommend that one... really short and funny.

The only book I've ever enjoyed reading was "the Outsider", by Albert Camus. I might have his first name wrong.

But otherwise, books are the enemy.

Boo books. Boo.

The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson (yes, technically, three books - Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars). I highly recommend this.
