Bump because someone was looking for this topic.

I like Rick Riordan's books. I love how they take ancient mythology and apply it to the real world today.

The first couple books were fairly good, but they got gradually more sucky. I really can't stand most of his works.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Is that the Percy Jackson guy? Yeah, I didn't like those books either.

I've been reading what is possibly the greatest book ever.

I saw a book by that man called "I am a Pole (And So Can You!)" and I really want it just because.

I don't read. Elementary school killed my interest in books with teacher's awful selections. I think the last book I liked was Watership Down from forever ago. Now I stick with shorter things like news articles.

Edit: Maybe that's a bit drastic. I read political philosophy and theology, but in terms of books for entertainment-- no.

I'm reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I really need to finish the book fast, or else it's not going to be featured on cinema anymore.  :-\

Who dares to stand up for this book!?!? :P I, for one, have nothing but negative words...
And the moral of the story: Quit while you're a head.

It was sort of good, in my opinion. I liked the tesseract part and the logic behind it, but as the story progressed, it seemed too much like a fairy tale.


The story was really sweet.  ;D

I very much like that book. It's incredibly weird, but it's also bizarrely comforting and intriguing.

Only the four first books have been published in Finland. Are there more currently?
