Well I'm still not done with My Ninja Handbook because I still haven't found a creative way to kill a pirate.

I'm not reading anything at the moment, It's just been so long since I've found something worth reading.

I got an awesome idea! If a samurai was in an RPG he wouldn't have HP he'd have PP (Pride Points) and if the Pride Points hit zero they are damaged mentally beyond repair LOL

Seeing as this topic is suppose to be about books were reading (o_O) I will mention one called "Dead Heat' which is friggen awesome. It's a 2007 Novel by Dick Francis. It's a love sotry, mystery and comedy all rolled into one.

Inkheart. I've said it at another article that I was planning to get Golden Compass but failed to find it so I took Inkheart only because I was already familiar of it because I've watched the film (which I loved btw). I'd say it's a great novel though it's the first I've EVER read.

Wow... I'm reading..

I've been getting into Kathy Reichs' books lately.

I read her first one, Deja Dead. Man. It was amazing. It had me hooked -- staying up to like 4am just to finish a select number of chapters. I've never done that or been that hooked. I finished it, loved it. I got her second book, Death du Jour. So far I like it. I just got to the part of the book where the plot has started to present itself, and I'm hooked. I'm going to buy all of her books. I have four of them so far, and as soon as I finish this one, I'm going to buy another one.

I've always been interested in mystery/crime novels. It's probably the only genre that I'd read. . borrowing the Girl With the Pearl Earring.

If only i can find The Testament.

Just finished reading the newest David Sedaris book. It wasn't as good as "Me Talk Pretty One Day" or "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim", but it had its moments. I love his sense of humor. He basically just tells stories about his life and family but it's a lot more interesting than it sounds.

I just finished reading all of Dennis Lehane's books. Started off with Mystic River, which is also an awesome movie btw, then read Shutter Island (my personal fave by him and is also being turned into a movie, directed by Martin Scorcese, later this year) and then his five crime thriller novels, which are a series. All his books are ridiculously good. Read them!

Just finished "Thankyou and OK! An American Zen Failure in Japan" by David Chadwick. Humorous (often bizarre), touching, and a good account of Chadwick's life/Zen study in Japan from 1988 to 1991. Lots of interesting things to be learned about Japanese culture here.

Now I'm reading "World War Z" by Max Brooks. If you like zombies you should read this, well written with interesting social/political remarks (as any good zombie story should have!).

Finished Inkheart, bought Inkspell and finished it too.. Now reading Septimus Heap: Magyk. I've bought the 3 sequels too. I'm into young-adult fantasy now though I plan on reading big time thrillers and horror novels. :D
