This is pretty much just like Admiral Thrawn's "movies seen recently" post, but with books instead.

I can't remember the book I last read. But the book im reading now is "The inferno" part of the "Divine comedy" written by Dante translated by John Ciardi.

It's a poem, which goes on for about a 100 or so pages, I'm really into and recommend people to look it up.

He's been here for so long yet he's only made himself known once with Eliteitude...after that...not much else.

The Odyssey

Great book, but the format of it is strange, so it will take a little getting used to.

Ender's Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon
Orson Scott Card
Another set of quintessential reads for the fans of Ender.
9/10

Guards! Guards!
Terry Pratchett
What can one say about Pratchett? Oh yeah: He's a modern-day Douglas Adams. No further reviews necessary.

The Host
Written by whoever wrote Twilight.
Very good book. Probably the best I've read yet. It's about this alien race called "souls" that infest humanity and take over their minds and bodies. There are some "normal" humans left though. This one human manages to not fully succumb to the soul assigned to her body, and they go on a grand adventure. Awesome.
