Just read Star Wars: Aftermath, part of the new timeline post Disney acquisition, set after the Battle of Endor. That was your typical Star Wars novel quality, which is to say not very good. Before that I read Eat and Run by Scott Jurek which was pretty good. Also, I may have issues but I'm not ultramarathon runner crazy.

Currently reading Angles of Attack by Marko Kloos.

Gede: I do wonder about the 21st Century Boys. Is it good?
Actually 21st Century Boys is just the last two volumes of 20th Century Boys. Urasawa had to change publishers and wasn't allowed to use the old name anymore so he changed it. I wouldn't recommend reading them before the rest of the series. You would probably be totally lost.

Gede: If you know of more good comics in this vein, let me know. I have several, but they are not easy to find.
Opus by Satoshi Kon springs to mind. It's just like his movies. Which are also worth a watch by the way.^^

You could also check out Jiro Taniguchi's stuff. It's a little different, more slice of life, but very good.

I'm afraid I can't recommend you any Western comics. I'm a little out of the loop there.

I enjoyed Perfect Blue. I am waiting for an opportunity to see many of his other animations.

Taniguchi's works seem more difficult to find translated into a language I can read. And they are expensive!

I think I am covered on the Western comics area. Thank you for your suggestions.

Fight club by Chuck Pahalniuk.

King's "The Stand." Haven't really "stopped" reading it but now and then it gets set aside in favor of something else.

"Choose Your Enemies Carefully" (the second Shadowrun book) by.... whoever wrote it.

"City on Fire" by Garth Risk Hallberg.

"Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink" by Elvis Costello.

Finished reading Troll by Ciro Ascione, an Italian book about the deeds of the author himself, as a notorious Internet troll, on the it.* newsgroups during the Nineties. 5/5, pretty funny stuff to read, Ascione is still active to these days - in 2008 he persuaded many Italian newspapers and websites (we've got some of the worst media of the developed nations, indeed) that Marge Simpson would have died.

I'm reading for several month now the German translation of by [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Yefremov]Ivan Yefremov. The reason why it's taking so long is that it is so... boring. And that it is also so packed with communist ideology about "working only for the benefit of humankind" even makes it sometimes harder for me to read.

The Nose by Nikolai Gogol

Very unusual plot but I like it so far.

Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I found out about his Black Swan book a while ago but I never began reading it. Then I stumbled upon this one and I've always been interested in randomness so I began reading it. Only in the beginning but it seems very promising, from a philosophical, psychological and economical perspective.

"Les Rougon-Macquart" by Émile Zola, the fully cycle in publication order and in german translation. Currently I'm reading "The Ladies Paradise", the eleventh of the twenty novels.

Finished reading fight club a week ago. Currently reading a book on Zen meditation.

Would anyone here know of any books on NLP(Neuro-linguistic-programming) that I can get started with?

I'm reading Furies of Calderon by Jim Butcher to my son at bedtime. Reading aloud for an hour makes me go quite scratchy for a while.

Hombre by Elmore Leonard. I never read a book by him I have not enjoyed.

Berserk by Kentaro Miura

Metal as fuck with some great writing and artwork.

<span class="bold">Swords from the West</span> by Harold Lamb

Historical Fiction/Adventure/Pulp anthology. Harold Lamb was Robert E. Howards favorite writer and influenced his Conan works enormously. I am loving it.

<span class="bold">The Complete Pelican Shakespeare</span> by William Shakespeare

I am still working my way through this one. Kind of wish it was in separate volumes, it is so heavy.

<span class="bold">A Tale of Two Cities</span> by Charles Dickens

Hurray for public domain books!
