I didn’t see a post anywhere on the first page for this or when I searched, so I figured I would start a thread of my own!

 

What book are you currently reading? Or what was the most recent book that you have read? I myself have just started reading a book called Drylor The First Artifact. It is an Action/Fantasy book created by Ryan Tomasella. So far it is actually damn good, it is a story about a man that suffers amnesia and struggles to regain his memory. As his memory starts to come back to him he realizes that his brother is an evil S.o.b and he makes it his mission to stop him.

 

It seems like a fairly generic story line but the author makes it his own. There are tons of twists and turns in the story (mainly when the main character thinks he remembers something from his past he realizes that it was only an illusion that his brother wanted him to think was true.) I must say I am really impressed with this book, then again I read almost anything that involved sword and sorcery. Below is the cover of the book and what the back of the book reads.

 

 

When a man wakes up inside a cage that is being carried through

an underground city, he has no idea where he is or what has

happened to him. As Von, a victim of amnesia, is taken to a jail

cell to await his fate amongst elves, humans, dwarfs, gnomes, and

halflings, he is told he is a member of the Royal Guard of Genisus.

It is not long before he is transported to the palace where he

meets an impatient king who eventually returns him to his jail

cell while deciding his destiny.

 

As Von’s memory slowly returns, he discovers that he is the only

one who can protect Drylor—a world that abandoned him—

from its greatest evil, his own brother. Through his journey to the

truth, Von meets an unlikely group of friends who are willing

to sacrifice everything to help him stop his brother Scarlet

from annihilating the only world they have ever known.

 

As Von’s past becomes clear and reveals his future, he soon

realizes the only way he can end his brother’s heartless

massacres is to find him and kill him.

 

The book is for sale through all major online retailers, so you can buy a copy from Amazon, Barnes and Nobles or any other book retailers. If you're too lazy to look it up then here is a link to the barnes and nobles website where you can place an order:

I've been reading an e-book entitled "The Disappearance" by J. F. Freedman. I'm not able to read it straight, just for alteast 1-2 hours a day due to work. Its a murder story about a daughter of a rich family who was been kidnapped and killed. At first, robbery was the main reason assumed by the authority, but it seems it was a little deeper. For me its thrilling to read.

Another book that I was astonished reading is the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. I guess I do not have to give a story summary about this one right? Its a must-read book I'm telling you.

Just read the two Guild Wars books. Loved them. I'm now reading a sci-fi book that I just can't remember the name of. It's like 1000 page+ AND it's in three parts. It's like the most known sci-fi book in the world. I'm also waiting for the last book in  the Eragon series Excited!

 

Edit: The Sci-fi book is called "The reality dysfunction" by Peter F. Hammilton.

Asimov's "The Naked Sun", prolly the 20th time. ^^

I just wrapped the Hunger Games Trilogy with the 2nd and 3rd Novels.

 

Awesome, awesome series btw. I strongly urge everyone to give the first book a shot ($5 on Kindle) before the movie comes out.

 

Now I'm finishing up Water for Elephants.
