Oh yes! Neville and Luna too. I'm still a bit bitter that Neville and Luna didn't end up together. They're so adorable <3GormanGhaste wrote:Harry Potter was never my favorite character either. I much preferred Hermione, Neville, and Luna.
Hyperbole and a Half is on my wish list! Was actually hoping to get it for Christmas, so I'll probably buy it myself sometime soon.
Just finished reading Koyanagi's Ascension. Liked the book's themes, but feel they could have been executed much better.

I usually don't read manga online. I much prefer holding a book, but I couldn't help but to read Volumes 65-67 of Nauto x.x That story hits me in the feels.

Thinking about reading the first of Novik's dragon books next, or maybe McGuire's Discount Armageddon.

Re: What are you reading right now?
Time for an intervention. Hands up! Sir, step *away* from the thesaurus!Paul Di Filippo wrote:"Clouds celebrated themselves overhead, fat flocculent whales swimming the cold upper air. The sun, an aureate brooch on the blue-white breast of the heavens, neared its noontime height. Zephyrs scented with vernal floral fragrances -- lily-of-the-valley, hyacinth, lilac -- teased the virginal leaves of the trees whose pleached limbs interlaced above the Great Road."
In other reading, just finished Vaughn's After the Golden Age, about a daughter of superheroes who doesn't have any powers of her own. Wanted to like this one, but most of the characters seemed to be plot devices, rather than seem realistic.
And downloaded a sample of Discount Armageddon, but as most of it was taken up with the author discussing what the characters were wearing, I was less than impressed...

Re: What are you reading right now?
The story telling is really good and it does talk about some serious issues with out being preachy. I've only just started reading it but man those girls who forced that kid to strip and took photos of him naked and bet him up to the point of making him try and kill himself really did get what they deserved they really could not handle their own medicine! I really do like it when you see those snobby "my parent is in a postion of power, I'll do what ever I want and you can't do jack!" get what is coming to them!

Also reading Le Guin's The Dispossessed. Enjoying it so far, and I liked reading her Left Hand of Darkness.

Re: What are you reading right now?
Had to show the cover, as it's what drew me in. Any Aspie can relate to that! Didn't realize until I brought it home from the library that it's by Augusten Burroughs' brother, so that made it more interesting, as I read his Running with Scissors memoir a while back. It's not my favorite Aspie/Autie memoir, though: I really enjoyed Prince-Hughes' Songs of the Gorilla Nation. And I *still* need to read some of Temple Grandin's books.
Just started Pratchett/Simpson's Folklore of Discworld, which goes into the real-life myths and legends that inspired parts of the Discworld books.
Also still reading Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell (it's a long book!) and have borrowed the sequel to A Natural History of Dragons, so I need to finish up that one too

Re: What are you reading right now?
I gobbled that thing up so fast. So it makes it all the more disappointing when the ending can be summed up in one unenthusiastic "meh." It was in dire need of an epilogue. In a world filled with so many tiny details, side stories, massive arcs and important figurehead spearheading the conclusion, the ending was a very vague, unfinished thing with more questions thaen answers. Also a lot of characters stopped acting like themselves and became very illogical and a large part of the book was dedicated to a fight with a minor villan instead of the fight between Rand and the devil.
It was an ending though, and fans of the series will read it regardless just to know the ending. I think the replacement author just got burnt out and ran out of notes from the late author of the series so I can understand the troubles he must have had.
Anyways, I am in need of more books to read now. Anyone have some suggestions? big books or long series don't intimidate me and I love sci-fi and fantasy stories. (if its got aliens or dragons that's a bonus.)
