My cousin's wife Lauren loves books too and she likes to lecture me about reading books that aren't YA (because she is one of those people who holds the silly belief that YA can't be deep which I hate but I love Lauren so I put up with her, even though I can't convince her no matter what I say) so she let me borrow some of her big fancy adult books when I helped them move into their new house!

Christian Ethics Contemporary Issues & Options by Norman L. Geisler
This is a big fancy book about different viewpoints on ethics about things like war and abortion and sex and all of the hot topics in different religions (with a bias toward the Christian viewpoint because it was written by a Christian) but it's actually really interesting and awesome.

Germinal (Les Rougon-Macquart, #13) by Émile Zola
Some fancy classic by a French author that I'll apparently like since I'm so into Les Mis.

The School for Husbands by Molière
Some French play that I'll apparently like since I like Shakespeare.

King Leopold's Ghost A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa by Adam Hochschild
A biography about this insanely evil king of Belgium who did a ton of terrible stuff right before WWI but everyone forgot about because of WWI.

SO YEAH. Fancy adult books, for the win.

And now I shall put these on my bookshelf and go finish Clockwork Prince because it is brilliant and I love it.

message 21: by Sum (new)

Sum | 846 comments You know sometimes when I go to the library I'll have my usual list of books to get, but then I'll also pick up a book at random just to spice it up a little. It doesn't always go well, though.


message 22: by Taylor (new)

Taylor  | 0 comments ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD AND ETIQUETTE AND ESPIONAGE ARE FANTASTIC READS!


message 23: by Sum (new)

Sum | 846 comments I finished Anna already, loved it! I love horror books :)


Sam~~ we cannot see the moon, and yet the waves still rise~~ | 3061 comments so i was going to reply to lav and samantha anne but BOTH OF YOU GUYS CHANGED YOUR NAMES AND I GOT SO CONFUSED. hahaha.

@lav *high fives back* he's a pretty cool dude. although, definitely a hard read. so yeah, that's probably true that if you like shakespeare stuffs, you'll like that play.

@samantha anne i always do that! and then it turns out that random book is, like, terrible. so much for my book-picking skills, hahah.


message 25: by Taylor (new)

Taylor  | 0 comments Oh, I'm typically really bored by horror. But ADiB was phenomenal. Have you read the John Wayne Cleaver trilogy?

Yeah, I read some reviews of it and was like "Well, I guess I won't be reading this." But then I saw it calling to me from the shelf so I kinda picked it up anyway.

True, very true. I'll let you know how it is! :D

There's a lot of kind of graphic sex in it, right? That's the only thing I'm a little worried about.

Oh shoot. There is? I had no idea. I don't think I'm old enough for that. :P We'll see.

Elliott | 22634 comments Mod
I'm not positive, but that's what I've heard. I heard it from some somewhat conservative older friends, though, so I'm not sure how graphic "graphic" is.
