I like it, it takes influence from both the current game & anime while at the same time telling its own story.

I am in the latest chapter of Naruto and Bleach. I really want to see how Sasuke reacts to his new eyes. Gaara on the other hand is starting to see that he was loved all his life. Aww... As for Bleach, I am waiting to see how Tsukishima's underling uses his fullbring.

I'm reading book 3 of the Millennium trilogy by Stieg Larsson, having just finished the first two, and I am finding this series totally over-rated. I had high hopes for these, so I'm frustrated and disappointed.

As my wife and I watch True Blood, I am "reading" (or rather having them read to me) the Charlaine Harris novels that the series is based on. Quite a bit different, but that's understandable. I really ought to buy the actual print novels and really read them, that and Angela would rather have the "real" novel.

Just finished Mile 81 by Stephen King, a short digital only release. Pure vintage crazy King, I love his mental short stories. Also reading Danse Macabre by him just now.

And Hound of the Baskervilles on my iphone right now, mostly on my way to work on the bus and on my break. Sherlock Holmes is amazing!

Soon done with The Legend of Drizzt book 5 Streams of Silver, the series is a must read for D&D players and people that love the fantasy genre

I've been reading A Song of Fire and Ice recently. About 3/4 through a Storm of Swords, but I've been having a hard time getting back into it the last week or so. The books are just so grim that I find myself being brought down just reading them. I also can't stand the way everything awful happens to everyone the least bit likable all the time.

On the Road - Jack Kerouac

Having a lot of fun with this one. Some parts make sense while others go over my head, but I guess that's what happens when the author did drugs for most of his life.

I've been reading through Frankenstein on my kindle lately. I read it once when I was 12, but a lot of it I didn't understand then.
I'm also reading through http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/068...00_i00_details since it's October and all and it's pretty cool.
And then I'm slowly getting through the Spider-Man Complete Clone Saga Epic; up to book 3 now.

I tend to be more of a nonfiction person, enjoying many such titles in print such as my Britannica yearbook collection, with most years between 1939 and 2009 covered, a lot of TV Guides from 1984 to see what TV was like back then, and a couple books on how a wedding works. It feels much more innocent reading such titles in print than online as its more traditional. I enjoy paper books as with the advent of e-readers, many "dead treers" are being sold for quarters on the dollar at certain book sales; I recently scored about 15 books for just $8.50, including a couple Christmas memory books. I'd say books from the 1960s-2000s decade will always be the most abundant available; I'd say 2009/2010 was a turning point that began the post-print era of reading perhaps.

Once the professors stop bombarding me with exams to study for, I'm going to try to get back to reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice to an extent, so I thought I might as well give her other books a try to see if she's as great as everyone says.

I am reading Lover Unbound by J.R. Ward. It's the 5th book in a series and it's a lot better than the previous book. Fingers crossed for this one!
