Does manga count?
if so, then what i've mainly been reading is
20th Century Boys (my favorite manga right now, so many twists and turns. definately reccomend it)
Veritas (the main character's such an
asshole, but he's just so likable, haha. also, a bit of fanservice here and there, but nothing that
takes away from the story.)
One Piece (i can definately see why it's so popular and great to everyone, but sometimes certain parts seem to slow down for me or be hard to follow. not
saying it's bad, just that i'm not too convinced by all the hype)
Eyeshield 21 (i've only read the first few chapters, but so far i think it's great. hilarious and exciting when it needs to be. never thought a manga about football could be so good.)
Toriko (the title character kills a crcodile the size of a city block with only his two hands, both of which he names "fork" and "knife". that should give you and idea of how awesome this is.)
and for Global Politics class i've been reading the book Dark Continent. it's basically about what led Europe into WWII politically, financially and socially, and the condition they were in after the war had ended. a really informative and eye opening book, but it just throws so many facts at you, and alot of these facts almost never get touched upon again after being mentioned. still, worth a read for anyone who'd like to know more about these things.
kind of a downer for me though is how i'm going to have to present a chapter of the book in front of the entire class, the last chapter too.
