Hey I'd like some recommendations too. Something in the suspense thriller/murder mystery/detective genre. Looking for something that will have me on the edge of my seat.
Going through my yearly re-reading of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Currently about a quarter-way through The Two Towers.
Manga wise I've been reading Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 7 - 8 - 9 combo, and I have another book (non-manga) called The Big Kitty I am starting on after this. I like to read, and pretty much read anything lieing around. I need recommendations >_>.
The last two books I got done reading were The Great Gatsby and The Hunger Games. I have Catching Fire lieing around for when I have time to read it but that won't be for a while.
My final exam in American literature is coming up. I have to read Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Scarlet Letter", as well as "Paradise" & "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison. It's a 45-minutes long oral exam fully in English which is quite scary for a German girl At least I'm done then and have my official "Master of Disaster" degree XD
Be sure to pick up the recently released book in the series, Dark Tower 4.5: The Wind Through the Key hole. --- As for me I've recently reread Girl with the Dragon Tattoo The Girl Who Play with Fire The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest Finished reading "The Wind Through the Keyhole: The Dark Tower" a while ago by Stephen King. Rereading "11/22/63" by Stephen King. I'm on the last few pages. I'm also re-reading "Middlesex" by Eugenides, Jeffrey, also on the last few pages. I really do need some recommendations... anyone? I'm open to any genre.
Not sure if you read this series or not, but when I was younger I HIGHLY enjoyed the Wind On Fire trilogy, you might want to try that out.
A Song Of Ice And Fire: Book One - A Game Of Thrones Just picked it up today. So far I find it to be highly entertaining.
Hmm. I don't know much about those. At least recent thrillers. If you're down for detective fiction like Agent O, Raymond Chandler is a safe bet. The Long Goodbye is about 60 years old, but it's definitely worth a read if you like a good mystery. Jesse, have you read any of Haruki Murakami's work? I know you're into Japanese culture, so I think he might be right up your alley.
