Lady Astor: "If I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee."
Winston Churchill: "If I were your husband I'd drink it !"

I've just finished reading through Metro 2033 and I'm looking for something else to pick up, does anybody have any recommendations?

I'm interested in science fiction, post-apocalyptic writing but open to new categories - just mostly for late night reading when I'm not out or studying

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

Twilight.

No but really. It actually provides laughs.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Stephen Baxter. Anything from the Xeelee sequence. I recommend starting with Vacuum Diagrams. It's a series of short stories that will act as a primer for his full length novels.

Remember, grammar is the difference between; "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse." And "I helped my uncle jack off a horse."

Are you into Star Wars? I recommend the New Jedi Order series. It's pretty easy to pick up and read.

"The Rum Diaries" - Hunter s Thompson
"The Stand" - Stephen King
"The Lord of the Rings" - J.R.R. Tolkien

No Easy Day

Dumb people are just blissfully unaware of how very dumb they are.

World war Z is the best apocalyptic book I've ever read.

That is a good selection right there, I might look into The Rum Diaries and the Stephen King books, I want to read J.R.R. Tolkien's work after the Hobbit Trilogy

I've also read a couple of the Halo graphical novels and I've read a couple of the Game of Thrones books, I'm just waiting for the TV series to catch up as I like reading along side

1. Half-Life 2
2. Mass Effect 3
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Tie between Halo 3 and CoD4
5. Medal of Honor or Spec Ops: The Line

"You can be larger than life. But you can't be larger than death."

A Song of Ice and Fire. I was surprised I actually got into it but the things I'm most cautious about usually turn out to be the best. Also The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. They both start off slow but are really good.

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

Try Rage by Matthew Costello.

Despite it being targeted towards younger readers, Mortal Engines is a book I read when I was younger and I would recommend it. It is post apocalyptic and steam punk in nature and features a great story.

STOP ASSAULT 2012

Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?

To donate to the STOP ASSAULT 2012 movement, message me with your credit card info, full name, social security, full adress, and mothers maiden name.

What's your reading level?

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Project: Nemesis. It's about a giant monster :D

Robert Jordan's the Wheel of Time series is really great. The first book isn't that exciting, but the quality of the books is on a constant upwards curve.

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man. By then, it was nothing to me but BLINDING!

Love me some Jim Butcher.
Try the Dresden Files.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Anyone who considers themselves a gamer should and must read "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline.
