What are you reading?

My friend's sister recommended reading The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Honestly I wish I read it when I was a teenager, really would've helped me guide the world a little differently I think. I've shed many tears over it so far, i have only like 70ish pages , give or take, left. I really really enjoy it. Not in that way where I feel comfortable trying to find some big fancy word to explain how much I enjoy it, but in that way when you like things really extremely. I really really really like this book.
 
not exactly reading any books at the moment, still trying to get my hands on the jurassic park novel by michael crichton. in the meantime though ive started the one piece manga c:
 
I'm reading a Manwha called Shark atm! It's a really good fighting manwha and probably one of my favorites so far!
 
Kink Stories
It's an anthology of 15 stories by different authors.

By chance just prior or during reading it I was hearing people bust on 50 Shades of Grey for not being good representation, and also Neil Gaiman's recent controversy. So what strikes me is that all the stories are also not good representations of kink. The relationships are always messed up in a way. I think that might just be the nature of fiction. You need some tension or taboo to make it dramatic.
 
Starting another reread of the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance, The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm: Tales from Alagaësia, and Murtagh). I just got and read Murtagh a few months back, and I'm excited to go through it all again!
 
Breezing through a reread of 'Kingdom Come' today, currently have 'Ammonite' and 'A Voyage for Madmen' on my physically reading pile (don't ask about my kindle).
 
Alright, nice to see activity in here. Since last time I finished Nona the Ninth and do recommend it. The other book I've managed to finish was Alien Clay which was my first time reading Adrian Tchaikovsky. I enjoyed the setting more than the story I think. A very interesting alien world, I even enjoyed the the characters and the first person narrative; but I did not enjoy how the story was wrapped up. It felt anti-human.

What I'm currently reading is the Communist Manifesto for a book club. Marx is a messy bitch and casts so much shade in this. There's some good lines, but it was still written fairly early on in his theory crafting so is a bit weak in those regards.

Also working on a classic sci-fi called An Image of Voices by Warren C. Norwood, the first book in the Windhover Tapes series. I'm not yet sure what I think of it, it's written in a diary format so there's not a lot of tension and the narrator glosses over details. I am very much intrigued with the aliens which are never properly described, accept for maybe how many tits they have. It's certainly one of the hornier while dryly written sci-fi I've come across.

And then last night I started reading Vampire Hunter D by Hideyuki Kikuchi, a post post-apocalyptic science fantasy featuring the Dhampir D fighting against vampires and other horrors of the night. If you've seen either movie you get the idea of it. It's a lot of fun and I'm enjoying myself. Also wondering why it's never been turned into a RPG of some sort.
 
Physically, yesterday I started SNAFU: The Definitive Guide to History's Greatest Screwups by Ed Helms. (Audiobook-wise, I'm in the middle of listening to That's How They Get You: An Unruly Anthology of Black American Humor by Damon Young.)
