Reading Updates

Since my last post on the the books I've been reading I have read:

  • The first two Vampire Academy books (They're okay.)
  • The Uglies Trilogy (Though I haven't read Extras yet.)
  • The Son of Sobek (Anyone who has read both Percy Jackson and the Kane Chronicles must read this. You have no choice.)
  • The first three books in The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy (For some reason my library doesn't have the fourth book.)
  • Speaker for the Dead (A kind of sequel to Ender's Game. I liked it though I'm not completely sure why.)

Updates

This post is going to be kind of random. Sorry.

Okay, to start with, I read The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. It's really weird, obviously. I think I liked it better than the first one, actually. I'll try the next one and see if I like it. I really love the quote thingy at the beginning of the second book.

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

Right now I'm reading Pretties (The sequel to Uglies). It's okay, but like the first one, it isn't really hat interesting. Actually, the plot is kind of interesting. But the way it's written is not engaging enough. Sorry, I'm not making any sense. Anyway, I'll keep reading the series until I get bored.

I'm going to read Ender's Game after Pretties. I want to read Vampire Academy but it is literally taking forever to arrive at the library. And Cress is taking a long time too.

I'm almost done watching season 3 of Doctor Who. It's continually getting better. I'm way too obsessed with it at the moment. DON'T BLINK.

The Divergent movie comes out soon. I'm going to see it with my dad. I'll post a review after I've seen it.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Isn't that the weirdest combination of books ever?

Anyway, I finished Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It was unsurprisingly really weird. 42 is now my fourth favourite number after 9, 23 and 97.003. I would suggest reading it if you like that kind of humor. It's a book meant for a very specific type of person and if you're not that type of person then you'll probably hate it.

I was going to read Vampire Academy next but it hadn't arrived at the library and I panicked. So I picked up two random books on my "To Be Read" list. One of them was Uglies (which I only just started) and the other one was The Perks of Being a Wallflower (which I read in two days). I don't think I've read any "real world" books for about a year. Since I read Lord of the Rings I've kind of gone on a fantasy and science fiction diet. But The Perks of Being a Wallflower was really good. So if you haven't read it yet because, like me, you find realistic fiction kind of boring, or for some other reason, I suggest you try it out. It surprised me in a good way.
