Not sure if there's already a topic like this but I couldn't find it.
Right now I'm getting started in The Sin War: Birthright. I've only read the first few pages but they were pretty good. I haven't decided yet whether I want to continue reading the eBook I downloaded or get the real book, so that's keeping me from reading it right now. :p
So, what book are you reading?

Diablo books. Well, [$#@!]. Are Blizzard books even good? I tried reading Stormrage back when it came out and I wanted to gauge my eyes out after the second chapter for wasting money on that piece of crap.
Currently reading a book on genetics.

Currently reading a book on genetics. Yeah, what I've read so far is pretty good. And that's saying something, considering my attention span on books is pretty terrible. Well, if we're gonna list school books, then I'm also reading Fundamentals of Game Design and Database Systems: The Complete Book. :p

Over here being? Eastern Europe - more specifically, Romania. And I'm talking about national literature.

I finished reading the Sin War trilogy a while ago. I'm now halfway through A Game of Thrones. Great book. Glad there's a bunch more from that series.

I'm reading Archangel's Blade. It is about a sadomasachistic vampire who is mean, and then meets this vampire hunter called Honor, who was like totally abused by vampires and stuff, and he becomes less mean or something as they "get to know" each other.

Welcome to the NHK.
It's really good. But in a depressing sort of way, if that makes sense.
