What do I read that's not manga? Well, the Sword of Truth series (Terry Goodkind) and the Wheel of Time series (Robert Jordan) are rather high on my list, 'though not so much the Sword of Truth anymore, since I can't afford the next book in the series that I need and I've sort of lost interest in the books that I have for that series, since I've read them time and time again.

Also, I enjoy the Band of Four series by Ed Greenwood, King's Blades series by Dave Duncan. I enjoy the Harry Potter books by.. well.. you all know that.

Nothing much else comes to mind at the moment, since those are most what I've been reading lately.

Have you read 1984 by George Orwell? It was one of my books for summer reading, and the one that was most interesting... Oh, and Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury is really cool too! It not your average carnival coming to town... Mwahahaha! XD From what I remember, that book got a 10/10 by me.
