Contemporary fantasy/sci fi, I'd call it. Night Vale is a town in the American southwest and basically a bunch of weird stuff happens there, half of which are a part of every day life for the citizens, the other half are cause for concern.
I loved Ender's Game and I've been thinking of reading Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide!! I've heard that Ender's Shadow is pretty good too.
Not that I expect anyone to be reading or to know those books (except que first and second ones) but here I go.
I'm reading Martin the Warrior by Brian Jacques, from the Redwall series. The Bellmaker is on the shelf, waiting to be read.
On my pile I also have A Sul. O Sombreiro, by the angolan writer Pepetela and Dragões de Éter (Dragons of Ether) the first book of a trilogy by brazilian author Raphael Draccon. Adding to them there are 2 Stephen King's books a friend gave me (Carrie and Jerusalem's Lot).
Right now I'm reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad for school and When Marnie Was There by Joan G. Robinson 
I'm reading Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin.
Reading A song of fire and ice wasn't one of my top priorities, but I came across an extremely cheap English edition of the first two books, and I couldn't resist.
The shadow series are great too, if you're into action! Speaker For The Dead, Xenocide, and Children Of The Light are much more philosophical. That said, Speaker For The Dead is my favorite.
@cheeznh Night Vale is kind of hard to the define, but falls somewhere between scifi in a contemporary setting, and what is called New Weird. It's the story of a fictional American town, told (in the podcast at least; haven't read the book yet) through broadcasts of its equally fictional public radio station. It features shadowy city councils with supernatural powers, the Sheriff's Secret Police openly operating among the citizens, an indigenous population of sinister hooded figures, an underground civilisation living beneath lane 5 of the Desert Flower Bowling Alley and Arcade Fun Complex, and earthquakes that register on seismographs, but which no one can see.
And that's all in episode one, AFAIK. Also, all the weather reports are songs, containing no reference whatsoever to actual weather reports.
1 month later
Started reading >The Doomsday Key< by James Rollins, good stuff. 
Finished last week >the last Oracle< by James Rollins, couldn't sleep properly for three nights
though while reading this one. X)
Wow, I kinda read a book/week since it's rather boring at work as is.
But I've soon completed the whole Game Of Thrones series, only got half of the fifth to read, in less than two months.
Gonna jump onto the third book of Maze Runner rather soon (hopefully by the end of this week ;D)
I tired reading Hunger Games but I absolutely abhor books written in first person. There are a lot of books that get recommended to me that read in this format, so I try to force myself through it despite not liking it, but the reading format quickly drives me to stop and I have hardly managed to get very far in them at all.
I don't read very much, dyslexic makes it a little bit difficult (though I seem to have an easier time reading out loud, and even then if I read something out of order it wtf's everyone that can hear me not just me)
I think the last books I read were the Harry Potter series.
I've have decided to go through many classics because, in the words of Mark Twain, "It's something everyone wants to have read, but nobody wants to read."
I'm a slow reader. Over the last year I've gone through To Kill a Mocking Bird byt Harper Lee, which I adore...
I tried to go through Catcher in the Rye again, but it's drivel. I now hate it and everyone who loves it.
I'm now on chapter Thirty-something of The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Damas and I get real intellectual pleasure just from the language. Dumas was a genius by every scope of the word. Such a genius that even translated into English, the text sends shivers down my spine.
It's just...
Oh God...
I need new pants.
I'm currently very, very slowly going through the Penguin Book of Vampires Stories (a book of MANY short vampire stories from throughout the years) and A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe. Also got a book that's a collection of stories by Shirley Jackson I still need to finish. I read We Have Always Lived In the Castle already, but still need to read The Lottery and The Haunting of Hill House.
.....in case you haven't noticed, I like weird stuff. XD
I'm currently reading...
Arabian Nights
and next on my list is The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu
both are more than 1000 pages
wish me luck T.T
If you like quirky gothic cosmic horror, perhaps check out A Pretty Mouth by Molly Tanzer! It's a collection of short stories and a novella about a seriously off family and their demonic family history.
Right now, I'm working through the Legend of Eli Monpress (aka "monopress") series by Rachel Aaron. Her Heartstrikers series was my introduction to her writing; it's dragon politics in the magical future. The Eli Monoress series is a fantasy world of magic, demons and weird gods done in a relatively refreshing manner.
I'm looking forward to the new Rick Riordan book out in October, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo in September, and the last book in the Valhalla e-book trilogy by blogger Ari Bach which should be out sometime during the school year.
Been reading Sherlock Holmes - The Complete Novels and Stories Volume 1 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Also recently re-read Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling and Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. I tend to juggle books a lot and read several at once instead of finishing one and starting another.
