So we have a movies and games topic but not a book topic. Though I'm not much of a reader, it does happen once in a while, I take a book and read. I mostly have books based on movies or tv-shows. I have like the entire book collection of Indiana Jones, five Young Indiana Jones books, two books of Xena Warrior Princess, one book of 24, three books of Lost, Spartacus and John Jakes' North and South trilogy. Besides that I have a couple of Stephen King's books: Carrie, The Green Mile (as well as in English and the 6 part translated version), The Langoliers, Secret Window, The Shining and Dr. Sleep. I also have a couple of Michael Crichton books like Prey, Jurassic Park and The Lost World. Further more books of movies: Rocky, Rocky 2 & 3, Independence Day, Godzilla, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (all with photos inside), The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Sahara and Schindler's List. And a few non-movie related books: Utopia and Meg. And some more war books. One is called the Lost Life of Eva Braun, Testimonies of the concentration camps, and two books about World War I and World War II on how it strategically happened. That's pretty much it.
These are the last three I've read in the past year or so: The Shining (very good), Carrie (unfinished), Indiana Jones and the Peril at Delphi (not great) and yesterday I started in a book called 12 in '40. These are like testimonies about people who were approximately 12 years old at the time the war began and how they experienced it on that age.
So what are you reading?

Sometimes you just have to die a little inside to be reborn and rise again as a stronger and wiser version of you. It's better to be a little sad than to be fake content.

That was me as a kid Yes, reading several books at the same time started in College for me and continued at University. Between studying and working, there wasn't much time to read stuff that wasn't for classes, though. After all these hours reading books in another language (a lot of my psychology books weren't available in German, so I had to read them in English) and studying for my exams, I was a bit "fed up". After graduating, for the longest time I only read "light" literature; mainly FanFiction. Since most of the FFs were works in progress, I started reading other stories while waiting for updates and somehow I kept reading in parallels when I started reading "real" books again. I don't mix the genres, though; e.g. I don't read 3 crime books at the same time. At the moment, there are stories about war (Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk), a psychology book about intuition (The Invisible Gorilla), a Stargate Novel, a book by Sophie Kinsella in German and so on... I used to read a lot when I still travelled home every weekend (4 hours by train) or about 20 minutes every evening before falling asleep. But since I permanently moved out from my dad and I fall asleep after two minutes I'm lying flat in my bed, there isn't much reading going on lately... That doesn't keep me from buying more books, though
That's always a sign you might be in trouble if your dashboard is on fire... Currently blogging about the MacGyver Reboot on Dashboard On Fire

QUOTE (MacGyverGod @ 19 May 2017 - 08:49 AM) | Fanfiction seems like a thing of the past now. After I finally got out of high school I sort of lost track with it, just as with my writing. I just hope I can get back into it. |
I've been wanting to get back into writing myself. I'm just too busy being an adult and dealing with real life stuff to really have much inspiration.
I used to write a lot, but I lost my fanfic buddy and any inspiration to write kinda went with her.

I have ideas, but getting them down on paper is the hard part. I always get distracted. Heck, I get distracted when I try to post on here to! XD My writer's block is so well known that a friend of mine sent me a book called 642 Things to Write About to help me get inspired. I still haven't read it...
