Always loved these threads on IMDb.
I'm reading Call Me By Your Name at the moment, I'm definitely enjoying it even if I find it a little over-written at times *hides*.
Planning to move onto The Dark Tower series after this, I'm a big fan of King so hopefully I love it as much as I want to.

I've got the last few chapters of Philip K. Dick's A Scanner Darkly left. Not sure what I'll dive into after that, there's a lot sitting on my shelf.

I just started the new John Darnielle (dude behind the Mountain Goats) book called Universal Harvester.
I am about to finish a book of Alice Munro short stories as well.

Planning to move onto The Dark Tower series after this, I'm a big fan of King so hopefully I love it as much as I want to. I finally started to read the Harry Potter books about a month ago. I have about 20 pages left of Azkaban, so I will finish that and start Goblet of Fire later today. They're a fun read so far. I just finished The Dark Tower series before starting Harry Potter. It is a genuinely fantastic saga so I hope you enjoy the hell out of it. |

The second book in the Magnus Chase series: The Hammer of Thor. I've enjoyed all five of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books, and all five books in the Heroes of Olympus series.

Bruce Springsteen's autobiography, Born to Run.
I'm planning on re-reading George Orwell's 1984 after that. And then it's time to read Girl In A Band (Kim Gordon), The Rum Diary (Hunter S. Thompson), Autobiography (Morrissey) and the Millennium Trilogy (Stieg Larsson)

The Girls by Emma Cline, about a Manson-esque cult. Good stuff so far.
I'm also working through Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series, finished The Snowman (which I loved), The Redbreast and Nemesis and will soon venture into The Devil's Star and read the rest of the series in order.

Light in August. So far, so much better than the others of his that I've read.

Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. I've never read it before, but it's pretty enjoyable so far.

Split up by chapters, I think? I just didn't find any of it very readable. Sound and the Fury bothered me less the longer it went, and more coherent it became, but so far Light in August is as beautiful as anything I've ever read. |

Very understandable. Any time I recommend Faulkner to people I always say that starting with Light in August is absolutely the best beginning point. You should check out the short story "The Bear" after you finish August, it's crazy good. |

I'm close to finishing Noah Hawley's Before the Fall. Really gripping, intelligent mystery.

As I Lay Dying and Sound and the Fury. Nooooooooooot a fan. That's a shame, As I Lay Dying is such a moving book, even in the running for my favorite english book (though I'd probably go with Portrait of the artist in the End). I get why a lot of people are not mad about it though. I wrote a review for school once if you have any interest (I hope this doesn't sound douchebagish or conceited, it's not meant that way). I'd love to read Light in August aswell, that's the one that intruiged me the most in the rest of Faulkner's bibliography. |

Homo Faber by Max Frisch (also has been adapted by Schlöndorf, maybe some of you have seen the film, I haven't). fantastic so far but I haven't had too much time to read recently. I hope I'll have more soon. |
