Just picked up these
David Peace's series of novels about corruption in the West Yorkshire police force. I'll hold off watching Channel 4's adaptation of them for now until i've read them.

I usually read two or more books at a time, usually they all follow a similar theme. Right now I'm reading:
First book in the White Wolf RPG series Scion. I am going to be starting up my own game as soon as I get my players up to speed on the rules and character creation. I've been meaning to read this for ages, but when I was told that it goes very well with Scion I picked it up immediately and so far I have not been disappointed. Lastly I'm not going to post the cover of my third book because it contains nudity and I do not wish to upset anyone on this forum (because nobody on the Internet has seen boobies before). The book is called "Time, Sex, and Power" and is essentially about how a woman's sexuality has shaped evolution. I am not very far in as Scion and American Gods have been taking up a large percent of my reading time. I was told that this was a pseudo sequel to Robin Baker's "Sperm Wars" which was a fantastic and compelling read that really changes some of your view points on sex. I would totally recommend it to anyone with an interest in the science behind human sexuality and why people do the things (both good and bad) that they do. |

Devilman Interesting manga thus-far, decades ahead of its time IMO.

Revisiting some of my old favorites...
Fahrenheit 451 (check) Animal Farm 1984 I love societal pieces/critiques.

I assume you've read "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, if not then I highly recommend it. It's very much the opposite of Fahrenheit 451 and 1984, yet still conveying the same basic principal messages.
