I mostly read comics and manga. I'm an uncultured swine.

The last book I read was "The Alchemist's Daughter". I really liked it.

I read lots of comics and manga too! Helps me keep kinda up to date with pop culture cause all my friends tell me I live under a rock what mangas have you read? I've read Cage of Eden, Claymore, Deadman Wonderland, Mushishi, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Trinity Seven and Pokemon adventures. Not a lot really but I find that they are greatly entertaining!

A favorite author of mine is Garth Nix but people tend not to have heard of him, which is a bummer.

Garth Nix has the most recognizable name in history; I knew who he was before I knew he even was.


Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll be sure to check them out.

He does indeed have a very recognizable name. And still people never know who he is when I mention him to friends. I think I'm going to name my car Sabriel.

I read the five "A Song of Ice and Fire" books in sequence, and really enjoyed it at the beginning, but, when I got all the way to the fifth book I was really tired of it. So I'm taking a break on fantasy-themed novels by reading literature from my own country. Afterwards, I'm willing to read Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Gabriel García's One Hundred Years of Solitude while on this fantasy-breaking period. Trying to get classy, you know? (just kidding)

Yupyup! When in doubt return to the well worn classics!

Agreed! There isn't much better than a good classic. A lot of people tell me that classics are boring, but I think anyone who believes that might not be reading them correctly. If you go into a book expecting it to be boring, you're liable to miss the exciting elements, after all.
