I strongly recommend the Blood Angel Omnibus as an introduction to the books. The author paints a wonderful picture. Most of the space marine books are very well written.

Haven't read anything but the Space Marine stories, so you're on you're own if you want to get into the Imperial Guard or Inquisition.

On a related note I've moved into reading the Blood Ravens Omnibus. So far I'm not as interested in it than I was the others, perhaps it's because it has to follow the game? Dunno yet.

Well, there aren't many books more morbid than The Demonata, but that's one of them.

You should really give the Horus Heresy series a shot! It's set in M31, so, you already know what happens lol. But It's great to see it spanning 20+ books! I can't recommend them enough to fans of the 40K universe and Space Marines.

I'll be starting Fallen Angels tonight!

Its on my list of books to get, once I've caught up with "modern-day" space marines.

Yeah, it's pretty heavy going but it is one of those books i almost feel like i have to read. Thats not to say it isn't any good but i enjoyed Animal Farm more.

Nah, I've never been too keen on the Imperial Guard and Inquisition. Space Marines, on the other hand...

Let's hope I can track down some of those books.

Thanks for that, Mkall!

SW: Outcast

Working on the tapestry, and adventures among ants, and Septimus Heap

The Shinji Ikari Raising Project.

I am about to start re-reading a book called Mayday, which was a book I read about 10 years ago and remember it being quite suspenseful. Hopefully my memory doesn't fail me.

Finished most of The Demonata. Waiting for Book 10 o return to the Library. In the mean time i'll work on The Skulduggery Pleasent series and The Ring of Solomon (The Bartemeas Prequel).

I'm currently reading Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man for my English class.

I'm reading A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks.
Still can't ge enough of this book.
Later Im gonna watch the movie.

I’m currently reading: The Blight Way by Patrick McManus, Scorpia Rising by Anthony Horowitz.

The last book I read was the Zombie Survival Guide (Complete Protection From The Living Dead!). Still waiting for the next of the the Inheritance series.

Just started The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly. It's the follow-up to The Lincoln Lawyer, another awesome book I just finished, just in time for the movie.

Finished the full 'Chronicles of the Necromancer' set. Reading "The Puppet Masters" which was supplied by a coworker.

I recently read Tuesdays with Morrie. Very easy read, it seriously took me 5 hours to finish.

What a powerful book.

I heard good and bad things about it. i never saw the TV movie. I heard that is was very moving, and that it was too sappy.

I just tried reading The Great Gatsby, but I'm sorry. I just couldn't get into it. I figured I'd try a classic, but no such luck. Next stop I'm going to try 1984, Lord of the Flies, or Animal Farm. I remember enjoying the latter two in high school, not so much the first, but I want to read each of these.

Recently I read House of Thunder by Koontz. Not bad, but I'm not sure what I think of the ending. I either really loved it or thought it was really far fetched.

D-Day by Stephen Ambrose, the man knows how to write a book.

I plan on seeing the movie some time but the book is definitely an emotional read. I highly recommend it though.

I was never a fan of Great Gatsby. Though I do love 1984, Lord of the Flies, and Animal Farm. Great reads.

Spice and Wolf (manga)

Really cute and surprisingly deep in how well they cover currency related economics.

Read TF Exodus in Febuary, just finished Tooth and Claw by Jo Walton. Good Dragon book no humans.
