    I've been meaning to read Trainspotting!

    Reading Farewell to Arms by Hemingway.
    It's the best book ever, read it as soon as you can.

    I'm making my way through the The Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix. I am enjoying it so much, I really like Garth Nix's books. Just finished Lady Friday and now I need to go buy Superior Saturday.

    Wow! I've not read these in YEARS! I only made it up to Wednesday. I really liked it though.

    I'm not reading Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson which is approximately 87,563 pages. The first part was absolutely brilliant and immediately kept me engaged, but now it's kind of slowed down a bit. Stephenson's humor is brilliant, though, so I'll definitely keep reading.

    I recently re-read Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows because I was gripped by the desire to reread them. Though they only took about three days between them. I am now reading Bill Bryon's A Short History of Nearly Everything, and I am once more in love with the Iowan.

    Maybe you just hit the wall of his writing speed :P It's been one book a year since 2003 (so that'd be 2005 when Wednesday was out) and now he's taking 2 years for the last book Lord Sunday (2010 hopefully).

    I just read that; it was our monthly bookclub book recently at GHF. I know Bleys really liked it, but I thought it was fairly mediocre.

    I though Sailing to Sarantium by Guy Gavriel Kay was fantastic. I've yet to get round to reading the second book though. I actually cannot decide what book I'm going to read... one option isn't actually a book but a play, The Importance of Being Earnest. I've never read any of Oscar Wilde's work and I feel like this is a good place to start.

    The importance of being Ernest is really cool I laughed a lot, the filme is nice Oscar Wilde is just brilliant!

    I'm up to Saturday too but it's still on loan at the library. I'll get there eventually.

    I read Othello for school but does Shakespeare count as a book? I haven't had time to read anything other than school stuff for a while, although I read one of the Odd Thomas books by Dean Koontz and that was good.

    I forgot about this thread, oops.
    I found it to be very interesting an difficult to put down. Greene gives a very good overview of the problems with trying to use both General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics and gives a very good explanation of several major string theory elements. By the end of the book I felt that he answered all the points he intended. I was saddened that M Theory and the different types of sting theory were only given small notices, but also that would likely take an entire book on it's own to give justice.

    Currently I'm just starting
    The Tombs of Atuan.
