Novels...I don't read novels anymore. I used to, but then I got an iphone and ever since I spend my spare moments playing games instead of pulling out a book. Before I got an iphone though I was wrapped up in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was devilishly hard to read though, partly because of the writing style, but mostly because the names were so hard to keep track of.

The only thing I'm really reading right now is manga. Currently I'm actively reading....
1. Hayate no Gotoku: A debt riddled teenager becomes a butler to a spoiled otaku girl. It's a great comedy, but the romance elements move a bit too slow for me.
2. GetBackers: Two guys have a retrieval business and they'll get back anything that you've lost. It has some really hilarious moments and the characters and action are very good, but there are occasional lulls in the story and it gets boring every now and then.
3. D. Gray-man: A cursed kid fights demons with his special abilities. The series starts off great, but it's pretty lame at the part where I'm at now. A lot of people seem to like it though so I expect it will pick up again at some point.

I'm also keeping up with the current releases of Air Gear, Berserk, Bleach, Claymore, Gamble Fish, Gantz, Hajime no Ippo, Hunter x Hunter, Liar Game, Naruto, One Piece, Toriko, Vagabond (though it's been on hiatus for almost 2 years), and Vinland Saga.

 

Anyway, don't feel like flooding my post with links so I only put them in for the better and lesser known titles.

A bunch of text for my classes, but still things that I would have considered reading outside of them.

 

Racism Without Racists: Color-Blind Racism and the Persistence of Racial Inequality in the United States.

Racist America: Roots, Current Realities, and Future Reparations.

Shades of Difference: Why Skin Color Matters.

White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son.

Thicker than Blood: How Racial Statistics Lie.

 

But those are just a few of the ones that I'm reading.

 

White Like Me has to be my favorite so far.
