What are you currently reading?

[CloudDragon]

There may be a thread like this lying around, but I just did a search and couldn't find it anywhere. Besides, there's not enough threads about books in this forum.

What books are you currenty reading right now? Being a fan of the fantasy genre, I'm on Robert Jordan's Eleventh Book of the Wheel of Time Series, <i>Knife of Dreams</i>. After that I've got a long list to choose from as to what to start next, but I've got it narrowed down to either Paolini's <i>Eragon</i>, Martin's <i>A Game Of Thrones</i>, and Weis & Hackman's <i>Dragon Wing</i>.

[Shoeberto]

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

[Bendak]

RA Salvatore's The Silent Blade, the 11th book of the Drizzt Do'Urden series.

[Venom]

Someones Post.

[crashNUMBERS]

I just finished readin "<I>Lisa's War</I>" and Im currently reading "<I>Maniac Magee</I>"...

[Skarr]

The instrution booklet for Pokemon fire-red.

[CloudDragon]

Let's try to keep this thread book related as I mentioned in the first post. There was a time I would've laughed at that kind of post, but in reality it's just ridiculous spam.

[Skarr]

Yeah, you're probably right. But you asked.

[Epiphany]

Stephen King's Black House after this I'll probably read Les Miserables again. Maybe I'll read the Dark Towers series again.

[CloudDragon]

Yeah, you're probably right. But you asked.

This is what I asked:


What <b>books</b> are you currenty reading right now?

[kikimm]

Personally, I think you should start A Game of Thrones next. ;D

But I'm reading The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama, The Ill-Made Mute by Cecilia Dart-Thornton, and A Song for Arbonne by Guy Gavriel Kay. I can't stand GGK, but I want to get through this book for some reason.

[CloudDragon]

I am starting that next actually. I found out someone I work with just started that book, and I'm starting that next so we can have discussion on it and such.

[Dolentrean]

Snow falling on ceaders, I forget who its by

[Epiphany]

Im currently reading "<I>Maniac Magee</I>"...

I just noticed this. I had to read this book in 5th grade, quite a good book. Still like to read it infact, just as something quick.

[Rusty]

I am reading 'The Ellie Chronicles - Incurable'.

[eestlinc]

Snow falling on ceaders, I forget who its by
David Guterson. I had to read that in high school. It was mostly annoying, but decent.

I just finished <i>V.</i> by Thomas Pynchon, which was amazing. I've got a bunch of books I could read now, most likely I'll start up a biography of the composer Alfred Schnittke that I just got, or maybe Pynchon's much shorter <i>The Crying of Lot 49</i> in the next couple days.

[Del Murder]

Dumas - <i>The Count of Monte Cristo</i>

[Germ Hamee]

A Clash of Kings, by George RR Martin. I'm surprised at how quickly it hooked me; the previous book took me a long time to get into. My biggest issue so far is trying to remember the buttload of charactors. Aye. >.>

[Calliope]

David Guterson. I had to read that in high school. It was mostly annoying, but decent.

The ending always pisses me off.

Milano: How can you wade through it? Joe and I have read about one Dumas between us, but it's too tedious for us to finish either of them on our own. We tried different ones. I want to watch that movie, though, because it's great.

I am currently reading the selected writings of Andre Breton.

[Del Murder]

I find their way of life amusing. The movie is pretty good.

What were the books you guys read? I also read The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask. Those were more tedious, but Musketeers was good.

[Casey]

A Purpose Driven Life, by (i forgot who)

and it's just a book where you ponder the meaning of life, you read these mini chapters each one a day, and for 40 days. It's said to change your life or somthing...

[Lalvarien]

I have, what I like to call.. uh.. I forget what, but I have it. Anyway, i really like to read, but, I always stop reading half way through a book. It's a serious problem, I like reading so much, but I never finish a book. so right now, I'm technically reading, Regulators, Desperation, Exile, Soujourn, Homeland, Crystal Shard, The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and Bag of Bones.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

As of tonight I have just finished Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. Due to some early Christmas gifts, I actually have some books to read, which makes me happy.

Next up is Annihilation from the War of the Spider Queen series, which will be followed by Amber and Ashes from the Dark Disciple series.

[crashNUMBERS]

I just noticed this. I had to read this book in 5th grade, quite a good book. Still like to read it infact, just as something quick.
Yeah it really is!! Im on Part III of the story. I think chapter 34/42...

[SammieBabe]

Stephen King's Black House after this I'll probably read Les Miserables again. Maybe I'll read the Dark Towers series again.

Les Miserables=:love:

I just finished reading the sequel to 'Wicked' by Gregory Maguire. It's called 'Son of Witch.'
It wasn't as good as the first, but entertaining none the less...

[~SapphireStar~]

Im currently reading The Lion, The Witch & The Wardobe and Im enjoying myself :D

[Epiphany]

Regulators, and Bag of Bones.

The Regulators gave me nightmares and I can't look at Vans correctly anymore. Bag of Bones was phenomenal but a total "mess-with-your-mind" book. I believe there was talk about making some of King's books into pop-up books for little kids..and Bag of Bones was one mentioned. I can't see that working very well. I think The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon was actually published as one, and while that's one of his more tame books I still can't see a kid enjoying it.

[Zante]

Currently reading Eldest from Christopher Paolini.

[Skarr]

Reading-The Corner Store by Albert Idell. Happy now?

Also, who says the Pokemon Fire Red instrution booklet isn't a book?

[Venom]

Im reading a book on The Roman Ruler Nero.

[Aurey]

I'm sort of reading Life Of Pi by Yann Martel. I got it out of my high school's library about two weeks ago and I've only read ten to thirteen pages.

If I don't get around to reading it, which I probably won't, I'm going to move on to Skinny by Ibi Kaslik and/or The Wind Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami.

[Rye]

I finished rereading Harry Potter and the HBP yesterday, but I'm gonna read Memoirs of a Geisha soon. :)

[Madame Adequate]

Currently I'm reading Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. I've also got Use of Weapons, The State Of The Art, and The Player Of Games lined up. The Culture wins.

Oh, and because I'm editing it, I'm re-reading my own stuff a lot as well.

[CloudDragon]

The 'let' at the end of booklet is there for a reason. It's a booklet. An instruction booklet, not a book.

I'm going to read Paolini's books eventually. I remember someone mentioned they were reading Eldest currently.

[Resha]

I just finished reading "The Catcher in the Rye", and now I'm starting "Atlas Shrugged". :)

[CloudDragon]

I just finished reading "The Catcher in the Rye", and now I'm starting "Atlas Shrugged". :)

Resha, have you finished Knife of Dreams yet?

[Resha]

Resha, have you finished Knife of Dreams yet?
I just saw it in the bookstores the day before yesterday; I think it got here kinda late. Now I need to save enough money to buy it, so no. :( But dammy, it's so thick and it looks beautiful! Have you finished it?

I'm also reading "The Great Gatsby" simultaneously. (To stay on topic!)

[xX.Silver.Wings.Xx]

Lirael by Garth Nix

[Itsunari 2000]

I just finished reading "The Catcher in the Rye", and now I'm starting "Atlas Shrugged". :)

Yes, I must have read " Rye " at least three times in the past month - I'm studying it for my dissertation you see. Great book. I mean ... " Boy. It sure was a good book and all. It knocked me out. It really did. " :)

Right now, I've just finished Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and I'm about halfway through Perdido Street Station by China Mieville.

[CloudDragon]

The Great Gatsby was a very interesting read.

I finished Knife of Dreams only yesterday, and I just read the Prologue to Martin's <i>A Game of Thrones</i>.

[Strider]

Oh, man, I hated The Great Gatsby.

Right now, I'm reading The Education of a Coach by David Halberstam.

[CloudDragon]

What were your reasons Strider?

I'm just a few chapters into <i>A Game of Thrones</i> by George R.R. Martin, respectively.

[Shoden]

I've got Moby Dick on my shelf and I'm going to attempt that.

[Psydekick]

I'm reading Ark angel by Anthony horowitz it is quite good.

[jrgen]

Currently reading Franz Kafka's "Der Prozess".

[Psydekick]

I've also just read "The penultimate peril" it was ok.:choc2:

[Rase]

Dave Barry in Cyberspace, by former humor columnist Dave Barry. I enjoy his comedic way of writing, and the book has so far given me plenty of chuckles.

[Psydekick]

I much prefer reading magazines rather than books.

[Lalvarien]

short attention span, that's what I have.. finally remembered it. anyway, I never got far in bag of bones, like one chapter about the guy finding out about his wife. always wanted to go back to it.

I've been like a quarter of the way through regulators for like 7 years now.. I remember the rolling death part and then some kind of distorting to the world and remember suspecting the mentally challenged kid of some crap, but it's been so long, I might be running this book together with another book. sort of like how I run all my zombie movies together into one weird ass movie.

[Pouring Rain]

From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. It's for school.

[Pauten]

The Biggest Secret - David Icke

[crashNUMBERS]

I finished reading Maniac Magee. It's a really good book. I'd probably give it a 9.2. It's good and all but there are some flaws, like how he suddenly turns to Grayson's and leaves the Beals' household. The ending of the book was awesome. Well, not the last page but the part of Jeffery, Amanda and Mars Bar were all talking and such. Great...

[Memoria]

Full Metal Alchemist volume 3. Because I love manga. :3

[Psydekick]

I used to read loads when I was about 8 butt growing up I found better things to do (enter ps2)

[Strider]

CD, I just found the whole story to be terribly boring. My mom actually recommended it to me, so I gave her grief about it after the fact. :p

[Psydekick]

Captain Underpants series by Dav pilkey is my favourite young children series.

[Shoeberto]

The next book I plan on reading is Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure, by Stephen Colbert

[dragoonknight_kain]

The Hitchhike's Guide to the Galaxy. I'll start the third book. (I'm not sure if this is the right name, cuz I don't live in an English speaking country, so I read a translated version. Anyway, it's something like that and the author is Douglas Adams).

[SummonerYuna]

I'm reading inkheart. It's real good book(about dragons)!!! :D :D :D

[Ruskies]

-Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 Karl Marx and the communist manifesto by: Karl Marx and Frederick Engels

-and The Will to Power by:Friedrich Nietzsche

...I hate college:(

[nik0tine]

Bach - Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring.

Wow, I remember that book! I'm going to have to read it again, now.

After I finish Wolves of the Calla. Got it for Christmas, and I'm going to start it this afternoon while I'm waiting to pick up my dad. I'll honestly probably be done with it sometime tomorrow if I don't break for games. I shouldn't eat my books so quickly.

After this, I might go buy either Brave New World by Aldous Huxley or How the Light Gets In, but I can't remember who that's by. I've only read the back flap, but it does look very good.
