I didn�t see a post anywhere on the first page for this or when I searched, so I figured I would start a thread of my own!

What book are you currently reading? Or what was the most recent book that you have read? I myself have just started reading a book called Drylor The First Artifact. It is an Action/Fantasy book created by Ryan Tomasella. So far it is actually damn good, it is a story about a man that suffers amnesia and struggles to regain his memory. As his memory starts to come back to him he realizes that his brother is an evil S.o.b and he makes it his mission to stop him.

It seems like a fairly generic story line but the author makes it his own. There are tons of twists and turns in the story (mainly when the main character thinks he remembers something from his past he realizes that it was only an illusion that his brother wanted him to think was true.) I must say I am really impressed with this book, then again I read almost anything that involved sword and sorcery. Below is the cover of the book and what the back of the book reads.

When a man wakes up inside a cage that is being carried through
an underground city, he has no idea where he is or what has
happened to him. As Von, a victim of amnesia, is taken to a jail
cell to await his fate amongst elves, humans, dwarfs, gnomes, and
halflings, he is told he is a member of the Royal Guard of Genisus.
It is not long before he is transported to the palace where he
meets an impatient king who eventually returns him to his jail
cell while deciding his destiny.

As Von�s memory slowly returns, he discovers that he is the only
one who can protect Drylor�a world that abandoned him�
from its greatest evil, his own brother. Through his journey to the
truth, Von meets an unlikely group of friends who are willing
to sacrifice everything to help him stop his brother Scarlet
from annihilating the only world they have ever known.

As Von�s past becomes clear and reveals his future, he soon
realizes the only way he can end his brother�s heartless
massacres is to find him and kill him.

A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards the plane. What he finds makes his blood run cold.

In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian knows something is happening. And he knows the time has come, that a war is brewing.

So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric virus that has infected New York begins to spill out into the streets. Eph, who is joined by Setrakian and a motley crew of fighters, must now find a way to stop the contagion and save his city - a city that includes his wife and son - before it is too late.

Dracula Cha Cha Cha. Before that Bloody Red Baron and before that Anno Dracula. Gets me into the proper Halloween mood.

Pretty sure there was a thread like this in General Discussion but meh... w/e...

Gone back to reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong and translated by C.H. Brewitt-Taylor. One of the greatest pieces of historical fiction ever written imo.

A really personal memoir about the Vietnam war, the author fled north to evade the draft, but ended up returning and going anyway. Worth a read, it definitely doesn't glorify war

Almost finished with it. A nice guide for the major J-horror hits and everything in between.

"Tales of Mystery and Imagination" by Edgar Allan Poe. It's taken me ages and I'm still less than halfway through it. I just can't get into it, though the last few stories I've read have been better.
