'Champion' by Marie Lu. Its the last book in a trilogy set in the future, sort of like The Hunger Games. It's a good series, I reccomend it!

Took the night off studying to read. Was v therapeutic.

I finished off Burial Rites by Hannah Kent, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I've just started reading Tess d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy! Hopefully this book lives up to my expectations!

Enjoying "The Caves of Steel" by Isaac Asimov, a must-read for any Sci-Fi people out there, the first book in a trilogy about a future detective, who has to work with a humanoid robot. It's pretty cool, I really love books by Asimov and Robert Heinlein, also.

Have you read 'I, Robot'?

I'm more of a fantasy kinda guy, I would read most fantasy, and a bit of Sci-fi, gladly. I'm currently rereading the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and later Brandon Sanderson, but my favourite books are the KingKiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss.

Have you read 'I, Robot'?

Yeah, I thought it was really good. I basically like all of Asimov's robot books, they're pretty cool. If you like a lot of philosophy in sci-fi, you start with Heinlein's "Tunnel in the Sky", which is an awesome book also, though many of his books are just as good.

hey, a fellow epic fantasy lover! Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time is awesome. I still need to get around to finishing it though. And Patrick Rothfuss is a great author, too. Ever read Brandon Sanderson?

Of course, although in saying that I've only read the stormlight archive from him apart from his Wheel of Time books. Have you ever read the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks?

No, but it's been on my list for a while, will definitely update if I ever get around to it.
I recommend the Mistborn series by Sanderson.

I've heard good things about mistborn but I've just been caught up with my english texts to read it

I've just started reading a book called Footballistics which is all about the intersection between statistics and Aussie rules. The misuse of stats in footy has been a bugbear of mine for a long time, so much so that I almost made a bigfooty account just to start a thread and rant about it, so this was a super cool find!

I just finished the sad, wise novel Stoner by John Williams, which I picked up on impulse at work.  It reminds me of Perks of Being a Wallflower and John Green's writing.

In summary, it's about an innocuous man who lives an innocuous life until he dies.  There's little action.  He simply lives, solidly, doggedly, unexcitingly.  But he lives well.  A life worth living. 

It moved me beyond words.

An occasional student who comes upon the name may wonder idly who William Stoner was, but he seldom pursues his curiosity beyond a casual question. Stoner’s colleagues, who held him in no particular esteem when he was alive, speak of him rarely now; to the older ones, his name is a reminder of the end that awaits them all, and to the younger ones it is merely a sound which evokes no sense of the past and no identity with which they can associate themselves or their careers.

So, you'd recommend?

I've just started reading Anna Funder's Stasiland. For the first time in a looooong time, I was immediately hooked in the first ten pages. I have a rule that I have to get to 50 pages to be "committed" to the book. But a few pages in and I love this book! At about page 60 now, and adoring it.
