Frank Herbert Dune Trilogy

In anticipation for the movie.
Started the Sprawl trilogy again. Currently still at book 1, Neuromancer.

While waiting for the DLCs and expansions to drop.
Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov
Shadowheart by Tad Williams. *Spoilers follow* I'm liking it so far, but hoping that it doesn't take a weird turn where the two twins who are the protagonists are forced to marry each other to perpetuate a mystical gift one has absorbed.

BreOl72: William Gibson - "Burning Chrome"
Yep, "Chrom brennt" is a good little story.
Hiroshima by John Hersey. True stories of the Hiroshima bombing from six survivors. It's terrifying.
"Hardwired" - Walter Jon Williams
The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole.

Sjuan: The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole.
How did you like it? I tried reading it for it's importance to the gothic genre but I had trouble finishing the story. I think I was close to the end and just stopped because I saw where it all was going. While incredibly influential in it's time, I think it looks full of clichés to someone now.
Last two books I read were:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Kwaidan by Lafcadio Hearn

Le miracle Spinoza (Frédéric Lenoir).
The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins
On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin.
Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis (The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse), by V. Blasco Ibáñez, is about WWI in 1914.

I think it's a good read if you don't take it too seriously. I read that the author also did not want to write a text that was taken as something serious but rather something parodic of medieval literature.
