What are You Reading?

[Cruise Control]

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

[GooeyToast]

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

[NINJA_Ryu]

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 ) and just started Star Wars: Legacy of the Force: Exile by Aaron Allston. It's my light nerd reading for February.

[Dynast-Kid]

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

[Dr Aum]

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

[Mythra]

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.

[I Took the Red Pill]

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

[Fatal Impurity]

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 <i>Dracula</i>. 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.
