I'm reading Buried Fire by Jonathan Stroud, after reading two Hardy Boys mysteries, Double Jeopardy and In Plane Sight, by Franklin W. Dixon.

^Drago, for an adult, you read a lot of manga and fiction. I know why you've got manga on there, though. I'm an avid reader, I can read nine Hardy Boys mysteries in two days. I started The War Between Classes by Gloria Miklowitz at 7AM today and finished at 9AM. New record! Every time I go to the Library, I get at least fifteen books and devour then in five days or less. I'm talking novels, 500+ pages! It's a good way to pass the time. |

Manga is just another way to entertain myself. I don't see anime or manga as a children/adult thing (Unless it's certain kinds...) but as simply a matter of personal taste.
My personal taste says it's usually entertaining, which is all I need to know.
And I hardly ever read non-fiction. I read to entertain myself. I will occasionally read non-fiction if it's entertaining (Like, say, a book on mysterious occurances in World War II, or a book on the most haunted house in England, or other such things,) but generally I go for good non-fiction.

Forgotten Realms is in the same location of those games but not the same story line of the books the Icewind Dale game is the one with all of the characters from the books. You should read some of the Forgotten Realms Books!
That game(Baldur's Gate I) is sorta based off of the books.

Drizzt D'Ourden or whatever his name is. He's in it in a minor role; later in the game, you can either team up with him to kill a vampire named Bodhi or you and your party can try to fight Drizzt and his party.

I edited my response. I didn't figure he'd be very inportant in that game. That game is in the same world as the Forgotten Realms books.
They are really good.
They have stories of wars in the Forgotten Realms books. Such as the War of the Spider Queen where the underground city of Drow (Dark Elves) is having internal struggles because the Spider Queen is going through some sort of Metamorphosis or change... There is also the Demon war which I haen't started on but I would guess it is where the demons of the Abyss escape to the surface and wreack havoc or they are having an internal war. Then there are the books about Drizzt and the Companions of the Hall ( Bruneor, Wulfgar, Cattie Brie and Drizzt's Panther Guenwyvar.), Artemis Entreri and Cadderly Bonaduce. Great stories of adventure and they have some love struggles.

The storyline of BGII crosses with some of those, and there are books in the game that I can read about the history of Faerun and everywhere else. I love BGII with all my heart. It's the best RPG ever.
