Right now I am reading Tempest, which is the the third book in the Star Wars: Legacy of the Force series.  I only bought it yesterday and I am already more than two-thirds of the way through it, and I am a really slow reader.  I picked up Exile too, but I didn't think I would be able to get to reading it so soon.

Alrughr, I know I posted about Planetarian before but I just recently came across a copy and grabbed it, AND WOW, JUST... WOW.

Story is set in a post apocolyptic, toxic rain covered world where Germ bombs were dropped. In fact they were dropped everywhere 30 years prior. But this is different from your average post apocolyptia. This book takes place in... A planetarium where a small robot girl is the only thing around.

Shortly after near the end it moves out into that apocolyptic town and things take a Key-ish turn.

Filled with amazing visuals for a Visual Novel (fully animated BG art anyone?) and a short story guaranteed to make you preform the Key Ritual it's a must read If you can find it.

Also home to THE MOST TOUCHING PLANETARIUM SHOW YOU WILL EVER SEE!

Buy it online. Now. Your prophet is channeling Billy Mays and even he says to.

I am progressing through the Legacy of the Force books.  I just finished reading Sacrifice and it was the best book in the series so far.  I almost died of awesome.  Even though I knew how it was going to end [spoiler] (Jacen Solo kills Mara Jade Skywalker), [/spoiler] it was still interesting to see how it all played out.  It seemed a lot more eventful and exciting that the preceding books, like with [spoilers] Ben Skywalker assassinating the Corellian Prime Minister, then Lieutenant Lekauf taking the blame for it and blowing himself up.  Man... talk a bout dedication to a cause.  Then the part where Jacen Solo amended the law so he could arrest Chief Omas and become the new Chief of State along with Admiral Niathal was also pretty cool.[/spoilers]

I just finished reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.  A hilarious science fiction book that made me wish I had known it was going to be quick reading so I could have checked out the rest of the series at the same time.

Kite Runner was actually banned at my high school for a while, until my class launched a massive effort to get the book back.

Can I ask why?

Was it really that bad?

[Gamefreak]

There's some questionable content in it.

[Hi no Seijin]

Questionable content as in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"?

Read a great little depressing visual (technically a kenetic) novel called Narcissu.

As it says on TVTropes:

"This is the story
of a girl whose heart was standing still
and a boy whose breath was being stolen away,
both of whom die. "

They don't lie. It's an amazing story.

I'm finishing up a book called Green Rider by Kristen Britain.  I loved it, and I suggest fantasy lovers to swing by the closest bookstore and read the synopsis on the back to see if they'd be interested in reading it.

*Bump*

I'm almost done with The Stepsister Scheme, by Jim C. Hines, and I love it.  It carries on Cinderella's story after the "happily ever after" part of the story.  Not the Disneyfied version of it; the original version as written down by the Brothers Grimm.  Cinderella's real name is Danielle Whiteshore, and shortly after her wedding she's attacked by her stepsister, Charlotte.  Danielle is soon sucked into a mission to rescue her husband, Prince Armand, with the help of the martial artist Talia (Sleeping Beauty) and the sorceress Snow (White).  Hines takes their stories and masterfully reworks them into an entertaining read.

NEED MOAR BOOK TALK!!!!

Hmm, where to start.  Last year, I got into the "Women of the Otherworld" series by Kelley Armstrong.  The books are excellent reads, with each book having a different narrator.  The first book I read, Waking the Witch, was the eleventh book in the series, but despite this, I was able to easily follow the story, despite past references made to previous books.  However, I would still recommend starting with the first book, Bitten.

I also recommend the "Parasol Protectorate" series by Gail Carriger.  Set in Victorian England, it tells the tale of Alexia Tarabotti, a woman without a soul.  It's steampunk paranormal romance, but it also has plenty of laughs; the series start with Soulless.  Also in the steampunk Victorian England with a lot of humor category is Pip Ballantine and Tee Moris's Phoenix Rising: A Ministry of Pecular Occurances Novel.

Another excellent author is Ann Aguirre, whose fifth Sirantha Jax book, Aftermath, was recently released.  Sirantha is a jumper, a person able to navigate grimspace, a colorful dimension that allows for quick interstellar travel.  But grimspace has a price; go on too many jumps, and a jumper will burn out, leaving nothing but an empty shell.  And with grimspace's addicting nature, very few jumpers die of old age.  Sirantha's adventures lead her across the galaxy, as she first tries to help a group of rogue fighters break up a corporation's monopoly on interstellar travel, and then as she tries to forge an alliance to help with an impending war.  The first book in the series is Grimspace.

It should be noted that the above books all contain adult situations at some point, so I do not recommend them to the younger members of the forums.  Of course, at this point, I think most of us are old enough to read these books anyway.
