    Default What books are you reading right now

    Ok so like the music thread here, what books are you reading or have read recently or are going to read?

    Recent Reads

    Double Eagle - Dan Abnett (warhammer 40k, spin off from the Gaunts Ghosts series)
    Legion - Dan Abnett (again warhammer 40k, latest in the horus heresy series. Great books if you ever played 40k and liked the back history or enjoyed DoW)
    The Hounds of Avalon - Mark Chadbourn (last in The Dark Age trillogy a fantastic series starts with the Age of Misrule trillogy, worth a read for sure. Think modern day England with suddenly throwing a load of celtic mythology in to it very different and inspiring)

    Currently Reading

    Jack Of Ravens - Mark Chadbourn (This is latest series based on the world established in the Age of Misrule following the story of one of the characters who was a central lynch pin to the entire multiverse created by those books)

    Future reads

    The Burning Man - Mark Chadbourn (Once I find this book I'm definitely going to read it I've been heavily engaged in the series since I first read book 1 and 2 of the Dark Age series a few years back since then I went back to the original series Age of Misrule and fell in love with the world idea)

    Blackhearts omnibus - Nathan Long (Warhammer Fantasy collection, seemed interesting so I figured I'd read it since nothing seems to be grabbing my eye at the moment bar warhammer based books and Mark Chadbourn)

    And that I believe is that for the immediate future and yes I read a lot of books, in fact Double Eagle whilst over 450 pages long took me approximately 6 hours to read completely.

    I've recently read/reread:

    Norweigan Wood - Haruki Murakami
    The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
    Grotesque - Natsuo Kirino
    Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3 - Ann Brasheres
    The Twilight Trilogy - Stephanie Meyer

    I want to read Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult. It's right next to me, I guess I'll start it soon. xD

    I also really want to read A Wolf at the Table: A Memoir of My Father by Augusten Burroughs. I adore him.

    I recently finished Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson, which is one of the best sci-fi books I've read in quite awhile.

    I'm currently reading Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned by Walter Mosley for my Lit class, and today I started Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead because I thought it might be a bit more accessible than Atlas Shrugged, and due to various influences I've been wanting to read her stuff for quite some time.

    It's more of a coffee table type of book, but it has a lot of interesting information in it.

    I love non-fiction.

    I took a break from No Logo to read Smith, George Atheism: The Case Against God, (1974)

    Almost done. Now I have no excuse to procrastinate reading No Logo.

    Finished The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressel last week. I've just started The English Patient, though I'm not very far at the moment.

    Currently Reading:
    The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

    Next:
    The Belgariad, The Malleron, and The Elenium by David Eddings. A somewhat daunting task considering it is 13 books. But I love Eddings' writing style, so it is a task worthy of undertaking.
