Read a really good book lately? Think others want to read it? Mention your favorite books here, and give a small idea of what the story is about. We want to hear from you!

I'm liking 1984 so far. It's good. It sort of deals with an alternate reality where London is part of Oceania and is under a Communist rule. Interesting.

I really disliked 1984, but that was because I had to read it for school, when you have to note all of the themes and other things while reading.

Lol. That sounds good.
There's a series of books by Alexander Kent, and they follow the adventures of a character called Richard Bolitho as he works his way through the ranks from Midshipman to Admiral during the reign of George III. The series is usually called the Bolitho series, but the books themselves are all individually titled.
