What book to read, and what manga to read. And what to write, of course, but for right now my priority is Manteío even though I have like, three other projects that are KILLING MY BRAIN WITH KNIVES AJFALKHFLAJH.

So, for the book part, I am completely lost. Seriously. Lost. (And no, I'm not gonna read Lost and Philosophy that was hilarious thankyouverymuch) I am currently reading the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov and it is epic win. However, I wouldn't recommend it if you hate politics, because 95% of what happens in it is politics. There's basically no action. (Even though that mayor guy was the best). But seriously, the only choices that come to mind right now are: The Vampire Diaries, Cirque Du Freak, and this weird essay by an university proffessor called Anime; from Akira to Howl's Mocing Castle. AND DON'T MAKE ME READ PREPPY HORROR/CIRQUE DU FREAK HORROR AND WEEABOO ESSAYS BY UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS GUYS.

I would like something surreal, or perhaps dystopic. I wouldn't like to read a classic, or anything with too much love in it. I would also love something Fantasy/Sci-fi.

For manga, the above applies but in otaku-speak it would be: something shounen/seinen and perhaps cyberpunk that isn't hentai or ecchi. I was thinking Akira or Cowboy Bebop, but I have nearly no idea what they are about. Also, don't recommend Inuyasha, Naruto, Bleach, or any of the works below (some because I have already read them, for some the premise doesn't attract me):

-Axis Powers Hetalia (I'm re-reading it)
-Ouran High School Host Club (watching it)
-Toto! (Because what is this I don't even)
-Death Note (read most of it)
-Fullmetal Alchemist (BEST MANGA EVER. Too bad I've already read it)
-Azumanga Daioh (watched)
-Yotsubato (read)
-Onegai Teacher (google it.)
-Midori no Hibi (Why does my hand have breasts on it?! NO)
-XXXHolic (read it)
-Hatsune Mix (Some who know my music preferences might recommend this, but nah)
-Or any anime that has later been adapted into manga. I prefer watching the original.

I don't like re-reading things, sooo. I'm re-reading Hetalia because I was using a stupid site with an uncomplete archive, but books that I love forever aren't what I want to re-read.

Please, could you read the ENTIRE post before saying anything? And please don't get all angry with me for saying this, but classics feel impersonal to me. The standards for writing and society were so different back then, and usually I can swallow that and pretend to be reading Historical Fiction, but on occasion there's this little glitch, this word that has a different meaning now, a little idiosyncracy in their society, that reminds me that I'm reading. IT breaks the suspension of disbelief for me.

@Time: FINE I'LL READ SCOTT PILGRIM AHFALHFLDKH.

CIRQUE DU FREAK IS THE BEST :3 Even though it gets a bit sad in some parts

Anyways, The Wee Free Men is good if you like witches and fantasy. Fruits Basket? XD Happy reading Wink

I HAVE THE BEST BOOK FOR YOU
AND YOU WOULD LOVE IT

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld.
Then, get pretties.
Then specials.

It's about a girl when in her world when you turn 16 you have an operation to make you pretty but she doesnt want it because of these lesions, and she..im not gonna spoil it. But its sci fi. It sounds like some book about looks but I promise it isnt. JUST READ ITTT XDD Especially specials. [third book in series]

When I read that, I was about to recommend Animorphs, but then I remembered that you already had read it years ago and didn't like to re-read things. And it was supposed to be for middle-schoolers. (Yet, some young adults still love reading them. Might be the dark undertones in the story...) But still, why not? Smile

I also dislike books which are mainly concentrating about LOOOOVE, so we're like-minded about that part. Bleh. And books about completely ordinary stuff, how boring. It's more fun to read about things that are out of the ordinary. Right?

If you like quick action medieval books then i recommend The Adventures of Alfred Kropp(its a little gory sometimes though but I believe to to be better than Harry Potter cause it has a lot more action)


Jurassic Park was pretty good wayyyy better than the movie(makes the movie look like a joke)


errr can't reall think of anything else at the moment

prbly will msg again after this


oh and bluerivers u r completley right

I like anime and manga but never seem to find any on Tv or a book about it. Good luck!

@Free: I've read Three Cups of Tea, and it was a good book though a bit... Preachy? Holier-than-thou? Guilty-ing because I've never been a charitable person?. I'll check out the other two, however!

@Bloo: Wee Free Men? Never heard of it. I'll google it, though. AND NO NOT FRUITS BASKET. *Adds to manga list*. I mean, I don't wanna offend anyone, but Fruits Basket was WAYWAYWAY too shoujo for me. Like, so shoujo my stomach hurt. Literally.

@Abbey: OMG UGLIES SERIES LOVELOVE. IT WAS SO GOOD AND AWESOME AND.

@Maggie: Yeah. What's the point of escapism if you're just escaping into another life that's exactly like yours?

@Lyls: Isn't it really preppy, though? I'll read it, for sure, I just wanna know what I'm getting myself into.

@Blue: NEVER TWILIGHT. EVER. WHY WOULD I EVEN ATTEMPT TO RE-READ THAT CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY? *Runs around*

@Relora: Ok, will google later!

@Agdollfan: That... Doesn't make any sense at all.

BOOK LIST:
-Summer of the Bees
-Zlata's diary
-Wee Free Men
-Pretty Little Liars
-Anything Other than Twilight
-Adventures of Alfred Kropp
-Jurassic Park?

MANGA LIST:
-None.

So, FF is more literature geek than manga geek, apparently? Anyway, looking forward to all these awesome books!
