Apollo needs book recomendations.

Try Percy jackson. Very good. Otherwise PG Wodehouse (for comedy) or Agatha Christie or Perry Mason (detective type).
Book recomendations for me too please.

I'm reading Once Upon a Time in the North. Which is good fun, for what it is.

Have you read any Iain M. Banks? If not, do so. The Player of Games is a good place to start.

Julius Caesar is the best of Shakepere's works. I feel.
I am reading Sherlock Holmes. For the third time. No new books to read

I just finished Time's Eye - Arthur C. Clarke and [someone] Baxter. I liked it, but there were TONS of grammatical errors and flaws in logic and continuity. But it was good nonetheless. What can possibly be more epic than Alexander the Great + Mongols + 19th century British + cosmonauts + UN peacekeepers + Rudyard Kipling?

Stephen Baxter. I guess that's what you get with more than one writer. Good book, though.

Yes, that was him. I forgot whether it was Stephen or Steven or something else entirely.

I'm reading Tombs of Atuan - Ursula K. LeGuin. I started it ages ago, but just recently saw it at the library and decided to finish it.

Well, I think u guys have a library close by or buy books very regularly. Or maybe your friends have many books. That's not the case for me. Yeah, I buy books about 7-10 times a year but just 1 or 2 book(s) everytime & I complete them in a couple of days. So though I know which books are good I never manage to get them.
