Hephaestus
God of Fire and the Forge
Reading this right now. I'm only still at the beginning, about 80 pages in, but I'm really loving it so far. It's an excellent mix of interesting narrative and though-provoking reflections. Has anyone else read it?

Frank Schätzing "The Swarm"
8/10
My wife is near the end of this guy's "The fifth day" and she's deeply into it, I'm gonna give it a read after she finishes, dude seems like a cool author (the fifth day is like 600 pages longs, a monster)
The Road 9/10 Brutal.
The Faithful Gardener - A tale of that which never dies 6/10 I would rather call it a short story within a slightly shorter story rather than a full fledged book, read it in one quick session of reading. Like the Ep equivalent of a book hahaha I get the message and all, but didn't quite leave a mark on me like many people say it should

Currently re-reading "The Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan, I give it a 12.5 out of 10.
Should be required reading for everyone.

Never heard of it. Will give this one a try, too.
First I was sceptical about the author/The Swarm, - thought there might be too much science and too little "book", but I was lost after 50 pages or so.
Also great for learning how nature works.
sounds interesting. damn, i should stay out of this thread
currently reading "Scientific Illuminism" a book i'm sure nobody here wants to read.......

My friend is reading it at the moment and it's definitely going to be one of my upcoming reads. Read and heard many great things about it! Meant to be a must-have if anyone is into philosophy.
Last book read: Crime and Punishment by Fydor Dostoevsky - 10/10!

My mum keeps trying to get me to read some Dostoevsky. She was big into Russian literature.

I have not read Crime and Punishment, but The Brothers Karamazov is one of the greatest novels of all time.

Go for it man! I have no doubt you'll enjoy it. Dostoevsky's skills for describing people's emotions are second to none, in my (limited) experience (as there are so, so many great books and authors to read!).
I am only familiar with Leo Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, thanks for the suggestion STINNETT, will definitely check it out!
Other Russian Literature books (both by Tolstoy) which are great: War and Peace, another favourite of mine, and supposedly Anna Karenina is meant to be a classic too!
Virgil.

Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol 7/10 It was good, very different from the disney movie and the tim burton movie
Bumping this up cause I feel like it.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas - 11/10 Best book I've read so far, the movie was sooooooo much garbage
