What are You Reading?

Just like What are You Listening to. Cept its about books. Feel free to post again when you start a new book.

Post what you're reading, who wrote it. If you like a mini synopsis adn what you think.

I'm re-reading The Stand (uncut edition) by Steven King. A top secret military plague wipes out most of humanity. The survivors rally around one of two leaders. One, an evil being, a friend of the devil, wanting to eliminate the other. A kind old black woman, a person of peace.

I think its fantastic. Even better the second time. The uncut version adds sooo much depth to the characters.

Right now I'm reading two fictional
The first one is called "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton
It's about how the government uses fear to control their country

Then the other one I'm reading is "Prey" also by Michael Crichton
and thats about a government experiment gone horribly wrong
releasing a cloud of Nanoparticles (micro-robots) out onto the world.

Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix. I'm a long time Adult Fantasy fan and my roommate finally got me to read the HP's because I've never read them before.

After that I'll be on to A Feast For Crows by GRRM

Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis. Pretty much what Zoolander ripped-off and turned into a comedy.

LOTR All 3 books, by good ol Tolkien.

and also, 'Prey", awesome book!

The Redemption of Althalus by David and Leigh Eddings and Shadowdale by Scott Ciencin.

I'm actually reading The Stand right now, too. Though I'm taking a bit of a break (to let someone catch up :cool:) and just started Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Exile by Aaron Allston. It's my light nerd reading for February. :p

To Kill a Mockingbird. It's the best book i've ever read.

Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman and Godel, Escher, Bach by Hofstadter.

Well I was reading the Dark Tower series but I've read all the ones I have, so I'm just waiting to buy the fourth one (Wizard and Glass) and then I'm back on those. Really great series, easily one of the best I've read in a while.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy. I've had it for a long time and I'm just now really getting into it.

Foundation by good ol' Isaac Asimov

Stephen King is one of my favourite authors, but I never could handle the Stand because it dragged on for far too long. He's good, but not good enough to pull off a 1200 page tome.

Currently, I'm into The Woman Who Walked Into Doors by Roddy Doyle. It's about a woman who's husband became abusive, her husband's death, her children, and her struggle with alcoholism and depression. It's very well written and rather sad.

Bram Stoker's Dracula. Muahahahahaha!

I dunno. It is about 1100 pages, and it's definitely one of the best books I've ever read. It's not quite as long as The Stand, but it really moved at a better pace (though I'm only about 400 pages into The Stand, so obviously I don't know how much it will change by the end) and was far more captivating.

Yeah that book is a fantastic classic.

Right now I'm reading 'A Wild Sheep Chase' by Haruki Murakami. What a brilliant author he is. His books are excellent. :)

I just finished reading Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle.

Interesting stuff...i plan on reading the Iliad soon...just so you know.

Debt of Bones - Terry Goodkind -author of the sword of truth series

Samurai Deeper Kyo Chapter 4
lol

The Dark Tower V: The Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. It's the fifth book of his Dark Tower series, which I've never taken time to finish until now. Father Callahan ftw. (SPOILER)I am happy to know what happens to him after the events of 'Salem's Lot.

I need to reread It someday too.

:shifty:

So yes. The Stand. I'm also reading The Remains of the Day, partly because I've wanted to for awhile, but it's also for an English assignment. So I have to annotate it and blegh. I wish I could just relax and enjoy it.

Also for English, I am reading...Shakespeare Alive, I think it's called. Yuck.

Too much.

What the hell is it with The Stand? Even I just bought that book.

-"The Dragon Reborn" by Robert Jordan (again)

and

-"The Last Samurai" by Helen DeWitt (has nothing to do with the movie)

couple of books at the moment...

i try to read one vonnegut book all the time, i'm on breakfast of champions right now

i was trying to read life of pi, since everyone says it's great...but i couldn't get into it...bleh

reading phantom by terry goodkind...i have to stop reading his books.

It made me happy, as well. Wolves might be my favorite Dark Tower book. I like the respite the gunslingers get in the Calla.

The Remains of the Day is one of the most heartbreaking things I've read in my entire life. It's still great, though. I hope you enjoy it.

I just finished The Goddess and the Bull Catalhoyuk: An Archaeological Journey to the Dawn of Civilization for my anthropology class. I hope to read The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin over my spring break, and if I get the chance, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. If I have even more time on my hands, I might finally get around to reading The Dubliners by James Joyce. Later in the semester, I hope to read As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, and polish off the collected fairy and folk tales of W.B. Yeats.

I really need some new books to read, especially for summer. I'm trying to get through the classics, so if anyone has any suggestions in that vein, I'm all ears. :)

oman i forgot...just read american gods by neil gaiman

it was cool.

Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space. A very cool sci fi that actually uses decent science and portrays an interesting (and I think believable) view on human civilisation five hundred years hence. :love:

Michael Crichton is a good way to become well read. The books deal with loads of technology, and cautionary themes. And at the end he recommends non-fiction for those interested in the topic. I have all his books.

That was such a good book, and so well paced. I couldn't put it down, and read it in a period of two days. That's amazing for me.

I'm currently reading American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. I've been reading it off and on for a few years, but am only now giving it my full attention. It's about the old, forgotten gods that are never worshipped (along the lines of Thor, Loki, Shiva) at war with the new gods (Internet, Media, etc...). It's very good, and strikes a nice balance between shocking, dark, and hilarity.

For school right now, I'm doing "Anthills of the Savannah" by Chinua Achebe. It's fantastic, although 'twas also a bit hard to get into at first. I'm doing two side re-reads; "The Great Gatsby" and "The Catcher in the Rye", two of my favouritest classics in the universe (they're re-reads, I probably won't read the whole thing through) and I began "Crime and Punishment" by Dos-long-name-toyevsky, but eh. It's kinda top-heavy! :-( I may abandon it.

Lord of the Rings.. Because before with my busy time schedule I've never had enough time to properly fit in reading, because I like to at least read a few chapters at a time. Helps you to get into the book more that way.

Have about 70 pages of the Fellowship left to do.

I don't mind it really. It is, in my opinion, interesting to read in some parts, but long winded in others. The long winded parts are when I can't bear to read anymore & put the book down for awhile.

I'm currently reading three books. I have this annoying habit of always beginning on a new book before finishing one of the ones I started to read previously. The three are:

- One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
- Macbeth
- Harry Potter 6.

I've recently decided to start reading some classics and have just finished 'Three Men in a Boat' by Jerome K Jerome. Quite possibly one of the funniest books I've ever had the good pleasure to read.

I'm currently reading 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. It's also funny, just not haha funny...

I'm making my way through Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. I'm in the middle of Crossroads of Twilight now.

Neil Gaiman is a genious. You just reminded me that I really need to buy the whole Sandman series, and if I weren't a complete idiot at times, I'd probably be reading Eternals every week.

I'm currently reading a few things:
Chapterhouse: Dune by Frank Herbert
Hero by Yo:skull::skull::skull::skull:aka Amano
DC: The New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke (who says it has to be novels?)

I'm too lazy to give a summary of any of them, and wouldn't do them justice anyway (frankly I'm not far enough into anything except New Frontier to say anything about them), so I'll let the internet do the talking do the talking.

Chapterhouse - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapterhouse:_Dune
Hero - http://www.forbiddenplanet.co.uk/ind...ducts_id=33942
New Frontier - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC:_The_New_Frontier

I've been reading The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. almost done with the Narnia books.

The Outsiders

still gotta see the movie though

The Handmaid's Tale
It puts me to sleep. :/

And Iri, you make me very sad. :( That's a wonderful novel.

I'm just finishing Broken Prey by John Sandford and then I'll be reading Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. :cat:

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Dude me too!

We have to read 'The Red Badge of Courage' by Stephen Crane at school right now. I hate it. I want to go back to reading Mark Twain and Nathaniel Hawthorne novels.

Life Of Pi, any one???? Well... thats what I am reading ^_^__V

"East, West, North, South" -- Geir Lundestad. :p A history of international relations since '45.

Reading?... What's that?.... I'm just kidding... Anyways I'm not really reading anything at the moment. I am waiting for the third book of pellinor to come out. I have already read the first two they are "The Naming" and "The Riddle" by Alison Croggon.

I'm about to start reading Foundation's Edge by Asimov. I also go through Watchmen on a regular basis (Alan Moore).

Further, I read the weekly editions of The Economist, which is of course not a book, but so common a piece of reading material for me that it must be mentioned.

I have a fairly large stack of books I have to read. I really ought to get on and read more than I do :(

Rainbow Six, by Tom Clancy

I finished reading the Dark Tower series back in November. I know people who were actually very upset about the ending, but I found that it truly was the most fitting and character focused ending the series could have given us. I'd be interested on hearing any other thoughts from those that have also finished that particularly storyline.

as for other books, recently read Exile by Aaron Alliston. The Legacy of the Force series still seems pretty interesting, but it really is moving a bit slow. There has been no real major developments since bloodlines.

I'm still collecting the Trigun Maximum and Yuyu Hakusho Mangas. Both of them are far superior to their anime counterparts.

I'm also collecting the Penny Arcade graphic novels. Man those guys are funny.

Other than that, Mostly martial arts and fitness magazines. I'm a regular reader of mens health, and every now and then, if I think EGM or OPM has anything noteworthy to read, I'll pick up an issue.

---

A little off topic, but OPM is no longer being made actually. A shame if you ask me since it was the only video game magazine that I really liked and respected anymore.

Back on topic: glad to see another (apparent) Tom Clancy fan Cecilia. I still haven't gotten around to finishing all of his books (I've read about half of them), but Rainbow Six was my favourite hands down.

im actully started harry potter and the philosiphers stone again for the 4th time.
basiclly a boy finds out hes a wizard and stuff! you all know the rest
rowling is awsome though. i cant wait for the deathly hallows

Legacy: Tupac Shakur


That makes it over a decade of books i've read from the man.

this thread



sorry, had to do that. Anyway, On Liberty by John Stuart Mill (again)

"A Great and Terrible Beauty" by Libba Bray
and
"Everything is Illuminated" by Jonathan Foer

I'm re-reading the Dark Tower series at the moment.

And yeah, Wolves of the Calla is my favorite of the lot.

Yesterday I finished 'Farewell to Arms' by Ernest Hemingway. I absolutely hated the way it ended.
Today I finished 'Moonshine' by Rob Thurman. A sequel to his book Nightlife. Amazing book.
About five minutes ago, I started 'Lullaby' by Chuck Palahniuk. He is the guy who wrote 'Fight Club'. It promises to be good.

I love books. :love:

I am currently rereading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling.

reading "give a boy a gun"
good book

I thought that was absolutely horrible, and only read it because I wanted to have something to do while I was waiting to buy The Shining. :laugh: What are you thinking of it? I WONDER IF YOU WILL BUY THE SEQUEL.

I also finished Remains of the Day a few minutes ago. =( Totally cried. Kazuo Ishiguro is good at making me do that.

Running with Scissors.

I'm not reading anything, it bores me.

Masterpieces of Fantasy and Enchantment
Compiled by David G. Hartwell

I've just read all of Paulo Coelho's available novels (except The Fifth Mountain).

Now I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the third time. I'll read Half-Blood Prince next for the second time.

Can't wait for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! It's bound July 21st.

I can't wait either, then I can stop hearing people talk about it.

"Finding Darwin's God" by Kenneth R. Miller.

I've just finished "A Feast for Crows" by George R.R. Martin.

Currently I'm reading "The Godfather" by Mario Puzo

And after that I've got "Winterwood" by Patrick McCabe to read. :cool:

"Dragons of Autumn Twillight", "Dragons of Winter Night" and "Dragons of Spring Dawning" by Tracy Hickman and Margaret T. Weiss. I love those books.

The Bible According to Mark Twain. :)

I just finished American Gods -- which had an amazing ending. For some reason I wasn't expecting anything more than a mediocre ending at all.

Now I'm reading Perdido Street Station by China Miéville. It's weird, disturbing, and extremely gross. I don't know if I'll be able to read the whole thing. -.-

I am reading for the second time, Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I personally love reading Bradley's work, it is always fascinating. She tends to do much research when writing her books, thus making it more realistic in spite of them being of the fantasy genre. Firebrand itself starts slightly before the fall of Troy and the Trojan War. It is told from the perspective of Kassandra (Cassandra). It includes, much like Bradley's Avalon series, aspects of Goddess worship and its encounters with patriarchal religions (this case being the Olympic deities).

I'm on a max brooks zombie buffet. I first bought 'The Zombie Survival Guide' after finding it on a rogue trip to Chapters/Indigo (not sure if it's a usa franchaise). I then found out that Max Brooks had very recently (as in the last 1/2 year) published yet another Zombie book illustrating a class 4 Zombie invasion (worldwide instead of nation-wide).

So I bought THAT book too (World War Z) and now every so often I re-read portions of WWZ. It's pretty cool.

Made me wonder though -- why do all Zombie movies have to be social commentaries, not mindless violence?

Even Resident Evil has a tiny bit of social commentary on biological engineering. Maybe I should watch House of the Dead..../groan

I love Mark Twain, but I could not stand Hawthorne. I'm curious as to why people like him. Not saying you're "bad" for liking him, I just don't understand.

But stick with The Red Badge of Courage. It really is one of the most beautifully written novels I've ever read.

I actually felt the same way about it, even though it turned out to be very painful for me. (SPOILER)I am glad King leaves the option for Roland's salvation, though. If the book ended with Roland doomed like that, I think I might have died a little. Also, I really did love the fact that King tells you the ending isn't what you want, and the only reason you're going on is that you're too curious for your own good. xD

I didn't really like Lullaby. I thought the ending was kind of weak, but I'd be interested in what you have to say about it.

I forgot to bring The Dispossessed home with me over the break, so I ended up picking up Lolita. I haven't quite finished it yet, but so far it's kind of enjoyable. So far, all of the characters have been really irritating.

I'm reading a Prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving.

Woah...I've got a long list here...Well...I gotta finish New Moon:love: But first I gotta finish reading Don Quijote for Spanish class -_- Then Blue Bloods, Pride and Prejudice, and finally, Revenge of the Wannabes <---It's pretty much a bimbo book, but since I started it I wanna finish it!

OH! And I can't wait 'till Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out!

"the stranger" by albert camus...

The Swimming Pool Library

Tuesdays with morrie

Tis rather good. :)

Dante Alighieri's Inferno still has been eating dust in my shelf. I haven't even bought Purgatorio and Paradiso yet to complete the Divine Comedy. But I'll read it once I get diligent.

Maybe I'll also read Uncle Tom's Cabin. I figured I should immerse myself in classic literature.

constitutional law: structure and reconstruction. it's a real page turner.

[q=foooa]Oddly enough, that sounds really interesting. But I'm a nerd. [/q]
Oh, it IS really interesting. It's amazing; one of the best all-rounder history books ever written; it has stuff on EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of the Cold War. That's woah wow, because considering the time period it spans and all the different facets it has to cover... The Cold War is cool, foooa! We're hip!

"Clash of the sky galleons" I started reading it like last year and I still cba to continue. I suck at reading.

Just started on a book by Jeff Lindsay, called Darkly Dreaming Dexter..

Moonraker- Ian Fleming

Next up, Diamonds Are Forever.

Like many others, occupying myself 'til Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. After that, it's back to waiting impatiently for the fifth installment of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse.

:-) This thread should never die!

"David Copperfield", Charles Dickens. He makes me laugh.

I'm glad to see this thread back. I'm much more interested in what people are reading than what kind of lame music they're listening to. :D

I'm reading the second book in Robin Hobb's Soldier's Son trilogy, Forest Mage. I've had it around for awhile, and then my preorder for the final book caught me off guard by showing up at my door yesterday, so I'm kind of rushing through it to get to the finale. It's not as good as her previous works, but the combination of her graceful writing and AMAZING characters keeps it high above most of what's saturating the fantasy market.

I'm reading Rant by Chuck Palanik I like it so far.. I've read most of his books and liked them a lot so I hope this one is just as good in the end. :D

'the truth' by terry pratchett

1635 the cannon law by eric flint & andrew dennis

The Initiate by Louise Cooper.

Right now its the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. So far I'm on number five, Wolves of the Calla.

Debating between a 1941 Soviet book The History of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party which should be a lovely, propaganda filled read that I got for my birthday in February and Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Not quite sure, I might even return to Earthsea and start The Tombs of Atuan (Ursula Le Guin) having finished The Wizard of Earthsea a good few months ago now.

Anyone want to help me decide? I wish these weren't simply 3 books of a list of about 8 that I've got to read!

The lord of the flies

'Tales and Diary' - Florbela Espanca

I'm reading an amazing book by Ian Irvine called Tower on the Rift....I think. It's the second book of a quartet. It's really good, he also has a quartet sequel and another sequel to that, which I've read (before reading the first quartet....silly, I know) I love Ian Irvine's books :D :D :D

Smile and Be happy :love:

Good old Harry Potter, catching up before the last book comes out... :D

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. AMAZING emotion in that book.

The Mobile Suit Gundam novelization by Yoshiyuki Tomino.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. It's a history of the American West from the perspective of native Americans. It's devastating, to tell the truth. Pretty much all of it is making me angry and upset.

House by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti. Great Christian fiction those two... Man, that book keeps me up at night its so FREAKING scary!

Me too, but when I'm on the pc I read the Fruits Basket manga.

I'm reading "Gerrard, My autobiography" by Steven Gerrard. It's really gripping -- but that's because I love football. I'm about 1/3 of the way through at the moment and I'm enjoying it. It's quite a simple read, but interesting. :jess:

My sweet Audrina you have to read the book till the end it's such a shock that her dad would do all of that. Really good bool\k.

Recently I finished the Memoirs of a Geisha, Gormenghast trilogy (heavy stuff, took me weeks), reread HP and Garth Nix's first trilogy - am anticipating Deathly Hallows.

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I just finished reading 1984 a few days ago.

Tonight, I'll be reading Harry Potter. ^_^

The crystal shard by R.A. Salvatore

Nothing. I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (850 pages in 2.5 days!) to look for book-movie discrepancies.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Good book about a struggling architect. xD
