Books: What have you been reading?
SakuraMaxX:
Oh right, to commemorate the movie for The Hunger Games coming out, I'm reading..... Battle Royale, hahaha
baruhara:
Moved on to King of Kings (Harry Sidebottom). I'm enjoying this a lot more than the unfortunately popular trainwreck that was the last series I read, even if the writing style of Warrior of Rome is equally as... uninspired.
JNiles:
I just tore through volumes 2-4 of the Phoenix Wright manga- the ones with actual cases, not the side-stories. It's quite good.
Darkspire91:
I'm trying to start reading Hannibal by Thomas Harris. Since I love Silence of the Lambs, I thought I would enjoy it. Only on the first chapter so I can't say anything about it.
Aside from that, I let my nerdy side take hold of me for a bit and read Hunt for Voldorius in one sitting. Warhammer 40,00 was always a hobby I loved, only natural I'd love the novels.
satty:
Not a book, but I've been reading something on 4chan's traditional games (/tg/) board, Strike Witches Quest.
Short: Strike witches - Neuroi + Martians (H.G. Wells, War of the Worlds ones) + Dudes that actually do something + crazy hijinks.
Long: You are a P-61 Black Widow pilot in the USAAF 442nd Night Fighter Squadron, aided by indifference, uncanny luck, and your turret gunner Ian and your radio operator Sean, in an alternate Strike Witches universe where Martians are waging war instead of the Neuroi. After a brief encounter with the 501st Joint Fighter Wing at night, your commanding officer sticks you to day duty, where you shoot down 6 Martian craft before having to emergency land on the 501st's base. Suddenly, command decides to stick you there as a liaison. How will you deal being stuck on a island with a whole bunch of women while trying to teach them the ways of becoming a PILOT, not giving a damn and BOUNCING on others? How will life change on that base? How will the war go? And is your luck just luck, or something else?
From what I've read so far, it's both silly and serious. You should give it a try at least.
