Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver. It's out in trade paperback now.

His book Snow Crash was awesome |
The world According to Garp
John Irving |
I am finishing up Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King. Overall it was decent but forgettable. I'm a dark tower junky, so the back-story was the main draw.
I'm also rereading the great Wind Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami. Very surreal and fast-paced. |
Bowling Alone, by robert putnam
[about 30 pages into it, about the evolution of the american community - very good] [recommend it if you're into the social sciences, or if you're wondering why your dad was in the elks lodge, and for some reason(s) you dont want to be...] after that, I'll probably gander @ jon stewart's new book. |
Bernard Cornwell - "Excalibur" the third on his trilogy of The Warlord Series.
|
Right now, im reading the Tragedy of Macbeth by of course, William Shakespeare.
|
Piers Anthony's Firefly. The erotisicm is a little tacky but it's like Kublai Khan or whatever that wacky poem was. Just a weird world because all the main characters are mentally dysfunctional, to say the least.
|
"Bag of Bones" - Stephen King
Now that I've finished the Dark Tower Series, I'm catching up on the few novels that tie into the DT that I managed to miss. |
The Battle of Dien Bien Phu
|

I've been reading so slowly lately. Need to buckle down. |
I'm re-reading that wonderful Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian, starting again with Master and Commander.
|
glamorama by bret easton ellis, for the 4th time. one of these times i swear i'm going to read it with a highlighter, picking up on all the little things you pass right over the first time, unaware to their relevance in the story. the little scenes that wind up having 2 or 3 meanings once you've seen the whole picture.
|
Lots and lots of Textbooks along with God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert for recreation when I have time.
|
ditto the textbooks, plus some Medical Journal articles for my Rural Health Care class, and Voyager, the 3rd in a historical Scottish series I've read a bazillion times, for when I'm waiting for the bus :D
|
MIRACLES by C.S Lewis. I've become a big fan in the past year, and have expressed my disgust with anyone that knew about him and didn't bother to tell me! LOL

LSD, Spirituality and the creative process and The great shark hunt By Hunter thompson |
About 10 different magazines, Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver, Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age, a book called Join Me, and a bunch of books on baby names.
|
Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn
|
I'm reading Towing Jehovah by James Morrow. I read Only Begotten Daughter by Morrow and LOVED it... I can't wait to really get into this one.
|
i'm re-reading the whole Vampire Chronicals by Anne Rice...
currently on book 4 entitled: Tale of the Body Theif |
Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan.
Excellent story, not for kids. I bought the second in the set as well. Quicksilver by Neal Stepheson. Whew. I never thought I'd get so caught up in a non-sci-fi book. |
Super System- Doyle Brunson
Secrets of the Tomb-Alexandra Robbins |
Re-reading The BFG by Roald Dahl. One of my absolute favorite books of all time.

hitch-hikers guide to the universe....i've heard so many good things about it that i had to check it out.
|
"Second war in Chechenya" by Anna Politkovskaja. I have no idea if that is the correct english title for the book, though. :-/. Very thought provoking, makes me really worried about Russia (especially because it's right next door to my country).
|
Snow Leopard by Peter Mathiessen. It's about a trek into the Himalayas. Pretty cool so far. Some trippy descriptions.
|
"The Drowning Pool", by Ross Macdonald.
I think I've found a new favorite author for the next few months. |
"To Have or To Be?" by Erich Fromm
|
|
"Fury" by Salman Rushdie
|
Running With The Bulls, by Valerie Hemingway.
Valerie Hemingway was Ernest's personal secretary for the last couple years of his life. This is a recount of those years and the aftermath of his suicide. After his death, she married his estranged son, which is where she got the last name Hemingway. A most fascinating book. |
Just finished Speaker For The Dead by Orson Scott Card. Not as good as Ender's Game, everyone cried way too much and it was very depressing, actually.
Going to start on Bill Bryson's Down Under - Loved his Notes from the Big Country, so I have high hopes for this book as well. |
I just ordered Carry Me Like Water: A Novel by Benjamin Alire Saenz.
My English professor recommended it, and I've been looking for some choice reading now that the semester is winding down. |
"Find A Victim" -Ross Macdonald
50's detective story. |
