I finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky a few weeks ago after my friends suggested I read it. It was absolutely fantastic.
I'm currently reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. It's a little bit strange and i'm not sure whether I like it or not. I've drifted away from the political & science fiction genre.
I started reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but I couldn't get into it. I might start reading it again after Brave New World.
What books are you reading? |

| sinii, it must be hard when you have 30+ characters for an alphabet with complex, upside down-backwards writing, and when you read aloud it sounds like Cthulhu's talking. |

Without Remorse - Tom Clancy
Hunt for Red October - Tom Clancy
Holes - Lois Sachar
Hatchet - Garry Paulson
Killing Lincon - Bill O' Reily
Rainbow Six - Tom Clancy (It was alright, though towards the bottom of the list.)
Politika - Tom Clancy
HAWX - Tom Clancy (It was alright, though towards the bottom of the list.)
Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
I think that's it. |

| Actually there are 33 characters and it's not complex! 33 is not so much more than 26, it is almost as same as the English alphabet but it has unique letters for sounds like sh, ch, etc. English has upside-down backwards writing. |

33 be 7 mur dan 26 nob
I think the English Alphabet should get rid of C, and we have sounds for sh, and ch, they're the only reasons I think the English alphabet should keep X and Q. |

You do have sounds for sh and ch, but what I meant is, that in Cyrillic, there are unique letters for those sounds. So instead of combining two random letters like s and h which doesn't make any sense, there is one unique letter just for it. English doesn't have any letters like that. |

I hope I used right characters for ch and sh lol |

| No, you're wrong. Ch is ч and sh is ш. The q sound doesn't exist but I guess it could be кв (kv). The x sound is кс (ks). |

Then I was right
Q can make ч sound, and X can make Ш sound
Q is used to represent Q in other languages, I can't think of any in the english language where it makes Q
X can make sh sound. I think Xanthan sounds like it, and maybe the name Xantha, though I'm not positive. |

| That's not English. In English, you write sh to make ш sound. For example, the word English. |
