I tend to read more than one book at once so here goes:
Crossroads of Twilight, Robert Jordan Douglas Adam's Starship Titanic, Terry Jones Hitchiker's Trilogy(Compilation of all five books), Douglas Adams Harry Potter 5th book, J.K. Rowling |
I'm almost done with More Frugal Gambling by Jean Scott
|
The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky...
|
The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett.
|
FDR: Rendezvous with Destiny. Finally got the rest of my granddad's library. Not a bad book. Scary how much his technique reminds me of Bush's (without the weapons of mass distraction.)
|
Just finished Gulag, A History by Anne Applebaum. Quiet "heavy" but very revealing and rather depressing.
Mr Mephisto |
I had just finished The Talisman by Stephen King ...
currently on Michael Crichton's Timeline (and I have not seen the movie yet). |
"From a Buick 8" by Stephen King. So far, it's clearly not his best work...
|
William Dietz: The Legion of the Damned (home)
Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorksoigan series: A Civil Campaign (bus) |
Fairy Tales and Legens by Hans Christan Andersen. It's really, really good. Not just kid stuff either.
|
The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkin. Something to read for my Sociology class. Not the greatest thing Ive ever read (mostly because biology isnt the most interesting thing to me), but not the worst, either.
|
I wish I was reading Frank Hebert's Heretics of Dune, but alas I'm supposed to be reading all my stuff for school. Billy Budd, Sailor by Herman Melville is my current novel for reading, after chapters and chapters of textbooks.
|
The Dark Tower:The Gunslinger - Stephen King.
Just finished reading IT a few days ago. |
finished A man in full by tom wolfe last night. excellent. next up is palestine by joe sacco. graphic novel.
|
I've decided that this year I'm going to read as many classics/famous/cult books as I can. I've decided to start by reading everything by Jane Austen. I've already read Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice and are now reading Catherine. So far I like it :)
|
john cage: silence

Louis L'Amour - Down the Long Hills
It's about a 7 year old boy, a 3 year old girl, a red stallion, and their trek West after surviving an Indian attack to their wagon train. John Sandford - Eyes of Prey |

Quote:
The last one is pretty heavy going, but worth the effort. And it's meant to be the most important book of the 20th century. Mr Mephisto |
I'm reading The Drifters by James A. Michener
|
The heart of a leader - Ken Blanchard
Corporate man to corporate skunk - stuart crainer The ki process - Scott shaw (reading this one on and off) |
The Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. 400 pages into it so far, no plot, but who

On Writing by Stephen King, Progress Paradox by Gregg Easterbrook, and The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin...have a terrible time starting books and not finishing before starting another :(
|
Empire Falls - Richard Russo
I've hit a plot twist! Didn't see it coming. |
Currently reading Robert Ludlum , The Bourne Ultimatum at home and Terry Goodkind - Naked Empire at work (we go on long distance service calls and my boss likes to drive).
Waiting on Stephen King - The Dark Tower (book 7). Edit: I forgot... I've been reading Robert Shea's The Illuminatus Trilogy since around January, just haven't gotten through it yet (bathroom book, lol). |

I finished Catherine last weekend and are now reading Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. I like it very much so far :)
|
...I'm just a few days back from 12 days of 'vacation' incl. RT international flight...so I finally got to do some reading :)
Started out with Tolkien's LotR: FotR. Actually started it a few months ago, but just couldn't get into it. And, I've still not finished it, but I made it through to the last chapter ;) The writing and story is excellent, but 1. I'm not really into that 'genre'. 2. Sometimes the elaborate descriptions of the scenery etc. just gets so tedious..just skimmed through most of that. I understand the point of it, but I just don't care that much for so much of it. ....then, went to a used bookshop in the US and picked up 2 paperbacks - 1. Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. Since his Snow Crash is one of my favorites...but, I've not started this one yet. /queued. 2. Eco's Foucault's Pendulum. Finally! Eco's been in my 'reading queue' for years...but I just never got around to it. Then earlier this year I read Brown's Angels & Demons (which I enjoyed..but not without criticism) and read somewhere that Pendulum is in a similar vein, but much better. So - I devoured the first half-ish of it on a wknd on the boat...and I still have half to finish. But it's sort of like a yummy treat - once I finish it, it's gone. Love it, and I recommend it. Brilliant. |
I just finished reading Oedipus Rex. It is rather good, if you like plays.
