Topic: What is everyone reading right now?

I need to reread through The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa by Yasunari Kawabata. Interesting modernist Japanese novel from 1929.

Been reading the Time Crisis 4 manual.. yeeppp it's pretty good.  It's not my most advanced reading material although there have been a few wordy parts.

Game Manuals are nice in full colour, is it one of those lovely full colour glossies?

Manga. Mostly Death Note.

When I'm not playing video games --I'm reading about video games.  I haven't read a real novel since....  Memnoch the Devil by Anne Rice.  That was about 10 years ago...

I got the guiness book of world record gamers edition this year and I was pretty dissapointed. it's just facts about numbers I was expecting facts about mario being more recognisable than the prime minister or something.

For games reading I would however reccommend the encyclopedia of Games.Machines by winnie forster, thats much more interesting. Theres also the encyclopedia of joysticks too but that just seems a little boring, still waiting for the encyclopedia of graphics to be translated from german though, that should be good if it ever gets done.

I prefer the anime, but the manga is cool too. I heard of the anime first. Caught the first episode on Adult Swim when I was flipping through channels at midnight.

I tried to get into Death Note all I heard from everyone was "zomg death note is fuckin awesome!" so I DLed the entire series with english subs and tried to watch it and was just bored to tears. All the entire fuckin series was was internal dialog with the chars occasionally talkin to each other then more internal dialog about how they interpreted what the other char just said in response. I think I made it thru 16 episodes before I just couldnt bother anymore.

Yes, but the idea of killing that easily is just awesome!! And it is definetely by no means appealing to people who only like action.

hah you went like 5 or 6 episodes too far. After the Tennis match teh show ain't worth nothing. Its pretty boring from then i always thought.

Quite the contrary. From there on is when it gets really exciting.

Not even Hellsing?  Although I must say, the only manga collections I pretty much have in full are Death Note and Hellsing...
