I felt like making this to talk about what books everyone is reading. Only bar on this I'll put is that if the book deals with heavy issues there's a warning, and no explicit books. (No erotica or gratuitous violence)
I'm going to start it off with the book I'm currently reading.
What I'm reading now: The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper (Warning: Has some violent moments)
I've been trolling the classics lately, and I picked up Last of the Mohicans. So far it's about a British officer in the Americas when the British and French are warring over certain territories of parts of Canada. This officer has to take the two daughters of a Scottish general who's out in a besieged fort. Along the way, they experience betrayal and forge some new friendships. This book is rather harsh, and has a few moments that might make people cringe. It's not too bad, but it gets pretty bloody. The second act climax is pretty crazy. @_@ I've not finished it, but I dig it so far. The depictions of Native Americans are pretty even, depicting the natives we come to know as the humans we know they are. However, this does not stop the author from depicting the brutal nature of the natives (specifically the Hurons) and the inadequacy of the English/French to control their respective native allies.
Tell me about what you're reading, or what you like to read! I'm always looking for things to add to my library and a good read. c:
