So yous guys.

I graduated today. (Well, I walked. I still have three more finals. idk either.)

BUT THE POINT OF THIS POST ISSS. Um. My momma got me a Sony Reader for my graduation. It lets you read books on it. BA in English lol what is that. ANYWAY, she gave me a gift card, too, and I'm eager to try the thing out, so... Because I'm terrible and have forgotten how to read for entertainment or whatnot:

RECOMMEND ME SOME BOOKS, Y'ALL

I will compile a list.

PLUS THIS IS A GRAND OPPORTUNITY FOR US ALL TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER VIA LITERATURE PREFERENCES. OR WHATEVER.

... I'm excited. >>

She brought me Tiramisu too goddamn I love my mother.


P.S. This is my first post to GDS. Hi.

I used to read a lot more ACTUAL BOOKS nowadays I am eaten up by comics and things, but.

>Dune - the first three (Dune, Messiah of Dune, and Children of Dune) for absolute certain. The next three (God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune and Chapter House) if you get really invested in the characters. DO NOT touch the prequels/sequels unless you can stand the writing and REALLY want to see how things end/began. Which I did, but I still want to set Kevin J Anderson on fire.

>Discworld - any of them. They're just hilarious and yet thoughtful.

+1 Discworld! My favourites are the Guards books (especially Nightwatch, but you kind of have to read up to that one), Monstrous Regiment, and The Truth!
