RYL Forums - What book are you reading or just read?

Im reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel and just finished Room by Emma Donaghue. Room was original and pretty brilliant, but disturbing. I would recommend it though.

I;ve heard so many good things about Room.I would love to read it,but I can't anymore...oh well,everyone who's read it seemed to enjoyed it a lot,so i guess it is quite brilliant.

Just finished the last of the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks. I feel so empty now! :3
Read if you like assassins and magic!

I just finished The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien.

It was really a great book. Hard to get into at first, but very beautifully written, and the ending was simply gorgeous.

My only warning would be that it is quite graphic with scenes of war and death, so some may find it triggering.
