1984 - George Orwell - it's a good book, really interesting, I like these conspiracy things and I like how much of a visionary Orwell proved to be when writing that book. I had to read that for school this year. Best book i've ever read. Harry Potter and the deathly hallows was awesome, finished reading it a while ago but didn't think to mention it till now.

Yeah, they are pretty thick, material-wise, not page-wise, lol.
Hunters and Sandworms is the 7th book of the main series...
I want to read some of the prequel trilogies.

Read some Sidney Sheldon books, they're really good. John Grisham sucks tbh.

I've only read one Grisham novel: the Testament, and I thought it was pretty good.

I hate his other books, one book was completely pointless, the ending was so bad it wasn't even worth reading it, let alone buying it. Sidney Sheldon ftw!

Well, most of his are court room/law dramas, and I'm not really into that. I'm sure they're good, just not my style.

I'm reading Christine by Stephen King. It's pretty interesting so far.
And it's been looong since I saw the movie, probably ten years, so it's almost like getting to the story for the first time.

Yeah... it is a bit slow, but worth it.
Let's see.. I'm going to reread State of Fear by Michael Crichton. Been meaning to for awhile now.

Alright, check this out. I know I said I don't read books, and I only own one book series (when I say "own" read "that I bought with money") Over the past half a year I've delved more into paranormal supernatural reads. That's my main thing right now, and I find the more I read, the better it helps me to craft my own original story I'm working on.
