Read any books?

With my current schedule, I don't get much of a chance to read. I have been reading Necromancer by William Gibson lately, though. Decent cyberpunk book.

I tend to read books, but they're all like "how to X" type books.

I just started reading a book about goat keeping, because I want a goat. I also have a bunch of Cisco cert books, some automotive books, etc.

I can't say I don't read for entertainment, because learning about stuff to me IS entertaining. I just tend to stay away from fiction.

OK, anybody that has read any of my previous reviews of Sanderson's work knows just how much I admire his writing. I've really run out of superlatives to describe his work, both the quality of it and the sheer amount of output he generates. I don't know of any other human on the planet that can write/publish so many books and sustain such high quality. He is simply amazing.

This novel that I currently read is, of course, no exception. From the very first page, I was lost in this new world Sanderson has created. Yes, it's a young adult novel, but the only reason to classify it as such is that the main character, David, is 18 years old. But in every other way, this is a main-stream novel, filled with violence, action, and thought-provoking characters. In essence, this could be called a "super-hero" novel (mostly evil super-heroes) so I suppose that's another reason to classify it as YA. And we are treated to some inner thoughts from David that testify to his late-teenage attitudes towards others and self doubt. But I found them to be very true to the nature of the character, and essential to the plot.

I recommend this book to all.

The only books I've enjoyed reading were Harry Potter, Pendragon, and the Eragon series.

Yeah I watched it, thought the book blew it out of the water. I'd recommend watching the movie before reading the book, otherwise it's a smack to the face.

Books. Damn. I've read too many books to even attempt guessing at how many.

My all time favourites are by John Green. Also, the Skulduggery Pleasant series stuck with me.

Last book I read was the satanic bible. It was an interesting read, but it had ridiculous things throughout it. I personally recommend the Ranger's Apprentice series to you all though!
