An actual book. Not manga (Light novels do count as books). ^^; Also, what book(s) are you currently reading? 3x1y

Last time I sat down and read a book was last night. 😛 I'm currently reading two books.

Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku and the Cirque du Freak series (currently reading vol.2).

If there's already another thread about this or one similar, I apologize. ^^;

Hmmm..I think it was Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time...not sure when, but at the moment, I'm looking for a good book to read, I really want the novelization of the 2009 Star Trek movie.

I'm reading one right now 🤣
I read way more normal books than I do manga~ Even though I read quite a few manga series
The Book I'm currently reading is 'Eight Skilled Gentlemen' by Barry Hughart. The entire series is great-- I would really recommend reading it.

I used to read books all the time.

Now however, I'd rather amuse myself with my little gadgets and stuff.

Anyhoo, the book that I have currently been reading for like, the past 6 months is called "The Queen's Fool".
Some historical novel set during queen Mary's reign before queen Elizabeth I claimed the title. (Henry VIII times)
I really like it, and should finish it, but I just can't be bothered at the moment.

I actually can't the last book I finished I haven't read for so long.

A couple of hours ago. Just a bit of light reading, A Life in a Year, while waiting for my class to start. Very interesting book.

Last night and I'm sorry I read that book, it had a really sad ending it made me cry, I hate books like that. I'm going back to finish the Sword of Truth series.

That's a pretty good book. I reading it a few years back. I used to read a lot, but since high school I do not have enough time to read that many non school required reading.

Last night. I read about 5 books a week...for fun. I'm currently reading Fire by Kristin Cashore, it's pretty good and I find it better than Graceling - to which it's a companion book of. And I'm also reading Fallen by Lauren Kate. These are both fantasy books, though I prefer realistic books.
