Nope. Ive read it, it was on cracked, it was on on 3rd or 4th no.

@Blastwave: heres links to two articles... im pretty sure it was in one of em:

7 Books We Lost to History That Would Have Changed the World | Cracked.com

7 Lost Bodies of Work (That Would Have Changed Everything) | Cracked.com

And since Baghdad was once the capital of the world for science and mathematics, books like Space Travel by Mohamed, How I Cured AIDS by Hippocrates or E.T. Episode I - They Came In Peace by Ezekiel would have likely been in their possession. Probably.

A Dance with Dragons is the 5th book.

Spoiler: show
Jaime and Brienne have just reached Harrenhal. One thing I dislike is that each sequel spends around a 300,000 words on exposition and recapping old events. There are books shorter than that. It is for the benefit of people who read the books as they came out, but annoying to people who are reading it back to back.


By the way, the kindle is the best gadget I have ever owned.

Also, check your reading speed.

Do you know the comparison between this and twilight has now been stated completely redundant. As many reviewers said, this book is nothing like twilight!
I hated twilight after reading a few pages, this one got me hooked.

What the fuck!!!!
"
You read 730 words per minute.
That makes you 192% faster than the national average."


This can't be right and i answered all three questions correctly.
I tested with a friend a few months back and i could only read 450-500 words per minute then.

It is dependent on the book you are reading. If you try again you get a different book and a slightly different result.

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
