Time of Contempt
by Andrzej Sapkowski

Loving the story.
Monster Hunter International (No relation to the Capcom game franchise).

Very entertaining and the attention to detail in the weapons and monsters is excellent.

Though not rocket science it is a very enjoyable read so far.I am 300 pages in.

That one was pretty fun, especially for a first novel. I haven't kept up with the following books in the series (Correia writes too damn fast), but I did check out his Hard Magic and it showed a significant improvement in his writing overall.

Yep, very entertaining. I`ve read a 3 or 4 books of this, but at the half of the 4th book, it became repetitive (hopefully I wrote this right) and a bit boring., so I gave up. But the first 2 or 3 books are real fun.

Yeah. I can see how that can happen as the point where I am in the first book now and the main character has already encountered a werewolf, vampires, wights, gargoyles and the Cursed One and I am only half-way through. Of course it has been discussed about different tiers of vampires and the different types of zombies, too.

Oh, and if you throw in the Feds and the fact that the FBI, ATF, IRS and others are also tossed in as adversaries you can see how you can run out of opponents and become repetitive. But the first go around is fun.
Seitsemän veljestä by Aleksis Kivi.
A collection of short stories by Jean-Paul Sartre.
Casino Royale by Ian Fleming.

Quite enjoyable, though the language used in the book might be a big turn-off for some. The book is not exactly what you would call politically correct. Truth be told, it makes Bond from the early movies look like a feminist.

I started recently reading Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov, after finishing Gulliver's Travels. I've enjoyed everything I've read by Dostoevsky and this one looks very promising too.

I'm also reading Les Misérables, which I had already read about 20 years ago, I consider it one of the best books I've ever read, so it's nice to revisit it... I felt like reading it again after watching the recent BBC miniseries, which has become my favorite adaptation of this work.

EDIT: Does anyone knows why Les Misérables keeps the French title on the English translations? I've always wondered why is that. In Spanish, my main language, the title is translated.

Haha, wait til you get to Live and Let Die :)

As much as I like a good Bond movie, I do prefer the books overall, mostly because Bond is such a well-defined character, contrary to the popular view that he's some kind of wish-fulfillment cipher.

Indeed, the book differs vastly from the movies. I find the more subtle excitement and flawed and dark/gritty Bond more fun, not as two-dimensional as the Bond from the movies.

Also, the archaic and extremely anti-PC character descriptions bring out a good chuckle from time to time.
