What have you all been reading lately?
TORGUE LIKES YOU’RE NEW UPDATE!!!!!
– Mr. Torgue
While I understand that this is to get the cast of Enjuhneer up to date with ours, I kinda don’t get why Myra would be freaked out by the sudden change. I thought it was well established that their universe is broken as a result of the Pocky incident?
Then again, I suppose we could just chalk it up to Myra being Myra.
To answer your question, I’ve been re-reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
So, what happened to that second comic you were working on? Still in progress, or did you give up on it?
I found a few items on your list I haven’t read before. Neverwhere and American Gods both sound good. I’ll have to check them out.
You should check out Epic, Conor Kostick which I really liked. The second book Saga was meh but Epic lived up to its name.
Other than that I have been reading some John Green books which are really good.
You’re back! I’ve missed your comics, here’s to the new update, cheers!
Actually, that kind of weather change happened last week at my college.
Berkshire County, MA. Around 1PM, we hit 50 degrees one day. Next day was 20 degrees, plus strong winds. All hail the weather, ruler of chaotic schedules.
Yay you’re back!
How have you read The Silmarillion without reading Lord of the Rings?
I’ve been reading webcomics. Too many webcomics. >.>;
@Mr. Torgue
The proper usage would be “YOUR NEW UPDATE”, not “YOU’RE NEW UPDATE”. ‘Your’ is possessive, ‘you’re’ is a contraction that is short for ‘you are’.
@Jenny
Woohoo! Update! And even better, it’s on schedule!
Looks like Kyurem, Dialga, and Future Twilight all got together and decided to screw with the Enjuhneer crew again.
Does anyone know where Pinkie Pie’s pocky went?
To answer the question, I’ve been reading Halo and StarCraft books lately, and I just started reading a crossover fanfic between Pokemon Special and Harry Potter called Red Potter the other day.
I time travel at a rate of 1 second per second!
@Twilight Sparkle
I MEANT TO DO THAT……….I THINK………..EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!!!
– Mr. Torgue
“What have you all been reading lately?”
Heidi, Spyri
The Water Babies, Kingsley
The Assassin, Coonts
I’ve been super busy this Winter so I’ve only been able to read a few pages at a time per month. I’m hoping that I’ll make more progress during the coming Spring.
I’m currently catching up on the Hunger Games trilogy. I have a few chapters done on Mockingjay. I’m really enjoying them.
The latest book I’ve read is “Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance” by Lois McMaster Bujold. It’s a sci-fi romance novel and I love it.
@Mr. Torgue
Oh no, not my books! I just reorganized them again last night!
@Twilight Sparkle
F#CK YOUR BOOKS!!! BUY TORGUE!!
– Mr. Torgue
@Mr. Torgue
But Princess Celestia taught me pony trafficking is immoral and illegal!
Haha. Timeywimey stuff. I guess I shouldve seen that coming. Good thing they didnt fail that semester.
@Twilight Sparkle
I DON’T TRAFFIC IN PONIES! I TRAFFIC IN GUNS…..THAT MAKE EXPLOSIONS!!!!!
– Mr. Torgue
@Mr. Torgue
…are you related to Discord by any chance? 🙁
Also, what is a gun? Is it similar to chocolate milk? I saw some chocolate milk explode once.
@Twilight Sparkle
AM I RELATED TO DISCORD!? THAT GUY’S A P@SSY COMPARED TO ME!!!!!!
ALSO, A GUN IS SOMETHING YOU USE TO KILL SOMEBODY/SOMEPONY! IT”S NOT LIKE CHOCOLATE MILK, BUT I GOTTA ADMIT, CHOCOLATE MILK THAT EXPLODES IS AWESOME!!!!!
– Mr. Torgue
@Boden: Nice! I keep reading and re-reading her books; haven’t yet been able to get any of my friends to try her books, but not giving up hope! XD
As for what I’ve been reading recently… The “Greywalker” series, by Kat Richardson, and the October Daye books by Seanan McGuire come to mind first.
Also, just how wrong is it if one of my first thoughts was, “Holy crap, you people were wearing those for nine months?!”
XD
Woo hoo! Welcome back!
The problem is that Myra doesn’t have any pockey to eat.
@FreeFlier
Oh dear, have Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash been stealing all the pocky again? You know, the easiest way to keep them from doing that is to ask Fluttershy to store it for you until you want it. Those two refuse to prank her.
Oh, and please don’t give any to Spike. I don’t need him getting a bunch of gifts again and growing all big and mean again and scaring Rarity and ohnoI’mlateformynextmeetinggottagobye!
@Twilight Sparkle
Oh, that’s okay……CAUSE I GOT EXPLOSIONS FOR SPIKE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!
– Mr. Torgue
Thankfully, I never delete good webcomics despite being on lengthy hiatuses in my bookmark folder 😀 Cant wait for more Enjuhneer!
@UP
Yeah, some webcomics it’s really hard to give up on, even if they become REALLY TARDY!
@Twilight Sparkle /)
Evil Diva is coming soon yay. Only other webcomic im eagerly waiting to come back is The Meek.
@UP (\
I’m not familiar with those two. Just looked them up, they look interesting. Guess I’ll have to check them out.
Ugh, as if I didn’t have enough trouble finding room in my schedule for everything. I don’t even know when I’m going to find the time to do up my schedule for next month!
Gotta go, I’ve got dinner with the Apple family in ten minutes and I’m going to be late! 🙁
On the topic of webcomics that I wish would update again, City of Reality hasn’t updated in close to a year except for one noncomic announcement in December and Venus Envy has updated twice since March of 2010. Pokemon-X sometimes goes ages without updates and other times updates several times a week for a few weeks before going back to no updates.
Just finished Wrath of Fate by “Captain” Robert Brown. Before that, Good Omens and American Gods, both of which are fantastic! I especially loved Good Omens as an audiobook, and listened through it twice as I finished up a big project for class. 🙂
You really must listen to Enders Game in audiobook. I know the movie is out and has tainted the story by now, but the difference is amazing. I tend to make everyone sound the same in MY head. (Don’t know how the sound system is yours works.)
