'The Davinci Code' by Dan Brown, halfway through with it after the first day...damn good book :)

mystmarimatt 12-03-2003 03:03 PM

Howard Zinn's "People's History Of The United Sates". Lots of interesting stuff in here

Jonsgirl 12-03-2003 08:36 PM

Angelmass, by Timothy Zahn. Not as good as some of the things he's done, but still really enjoyable.

username 12-03-2003 08:47 PM

I just finished 'Diary' by Chuck Palahniuk and a lot of Philip K. Dick stories and novels (e.g. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? a.ka. Bladerunner).

And I am now onto more Philip K. Dick short stories until I get tired of reading Sci-Fi. After that, I am up for any good suggestions.

Neuromancer by William Gibson.

I have absolutely no idea what is happening in this book.

RemyLebeau97 12-04-2003 03:07 PM

Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas, good book and movie

The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary -- by Simon Winchester

So far it's a great book. Not at all boring. I'd highly reccomend it.

The Scions of Shannara-Terry Brooks

HunterDevourer 12-06-2003 11:56 PM

Reading Closing Time by Joseph Heller. Tis the sequel to Catch-22 where the surviving characters are old men. Haven't really read it enough, as is the case with reading in general since the start of this year. Seems quite good and has a number of choice reviews.

Cardinal Syn 12-07-2003 08:37 PM

Almost Done with the Di Vinci Code.

Dan Brown is the man..

WhoaitsZ 12-07-2003 09:32 PM

I am reading A Storm of Swords by George R R Martin. I haven't ever read anything this good other than the wheel of time.

i thought it was a trilogy :P:P i wonder if A Feast of Crows will end it.....

YourNeverThere 12-09-2003 04:04 PM

reading The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams and its rocking.

Tophat665 12-09-2003 05:03 PM

WhoaitsZ,
If you're diggin on the Song of Fire and Ice series, you should check ot Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, by Tad Williams (3 or 4 books depending on whether it's paperback or hardback: "The Dragonbone Chair", "The Stone of Farewell", and "To Green Angel Tower" [Parts 1 and 2 in paperback]). They stand up with Martin and Jordan and even Tolkien, and he's finished writing them, so there's a definite end.

My current reading selections are:
Heinlein, "The Man Who Sold the Moon", at work and in the garage, and Harris "Silence of the Lambs" in the bathroom.

The New Intelligent Mans Guide to Science by Issac Assimov

Lasher
author Ann Rice
i love how she mixes historical accuracy with vampire/witch stories

Derwood 12-10-2003 02:32 PM

Just picked "The Talisman" by Stephen King and Peter Straub off of my bookshelf. Realized it was the only SK book that I own that I've never read.

lightning 12-10-2003 02:44 PM

Leaving Cheyenne, by Larry McMurtry
Excellent stories

sailor 12-10-2003 08:37 PM

The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway.

Ill be sure to check it out. Catch-22 is one of my favorite books.

I've been reading a lot of Hunter S. Thompson lately. Specifically, I have re-read the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas book and The Proud Highway (a collection of his letters and such from the 1950s and 1960s). A truly unique man. Some of the most hillarious writing I've ever read, yet he seems very grounded and down to earth in his whole philosophy.

Kadath 12-11-2003 06:09 AM

Just finished Palahuniuk's Survivor, now reading a book called Prophecy by Greg Gorden.

I never read any of his books (wasn't a big reader when I was younger) ... but am looking forward to them, and others.

Now I'm onto The Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Rings ... in between studying for my finals.

InTeGrA77 12-14-2003 06:35 PM

i'm a big reader, so i usually read a few books at the same time...but currently i'm reading:

Queen of the Damned
The Great Gatsby
Beowulf

and i'm still trying to get into the 5th Harry Potter book, but it just doesn't seem to draw me in like the other 4 did, and besides, the other books that i'm reading take up too much of my time.

its getting a little difficult to keep the stories straight, but i kind of have a schedule for when i read each book. i read one book a certain day/night and a different one the next day. that usually separates them enough for me to keep the stories straight and remember everything well enough...

omega2K4 12-14-2003 06:43 PM

I'm not reading anything right now, probably going to order this pretty soon.

Great books. It takes a while to read them all, but they are so incredible. Ive read them all twice now, and plan on reading them again soon.

Great books. Which translation of Beowulf are you reading?

mirevolver 12-14-2003 09:33 PM

Heretics of Dune, by Frank Herbert.

sailor 12-30-2003 07:18 AM

I just finished Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. Great book. I am now about halfway through the Da Vinci Code, at the insistence of almost everyone I know. It is an interesting book so far, but I dont think it is as good as everyone has been making it out to be.

Kadath 12-30-2003 07:26 AM

I'm back to catching up on the NJO. Last night I started Edge of Victory II: Rebirth. The books are okay, even good considering they're Star Wars novels. I refuse to read Da Vinci Code. One too many people recommended it to me.

deepinjello 12-30-2003 09:38 PM

I am in the middle of Naked Economics by Charles Wheelan, it's great introduction to economics and there's absolutely NO MATH!

Getting ready for Lolita and A Heartbreak work of Staggering Genius, that were christmas gifts.

Also rereading The Things They Carried, an amazing book, one of my favorites.

BigGov 12-30-2003 09:59 PM

I just finished reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas last night, just bought and watched the DVD tonight.

Next up I got The Da Vinci Code followed by The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I had an economics teacher that kept on raving about that book, is it an easy read or is it more of a boring teaching kind of book?

BigDonkey2 12-30-2003 10:38 PM

Getting Focused Staying Focused by Alan Jaegar

its a book on the mental aspect of baseball

deepinjello 12-31-2003 01:43 AM

It's a suprising light read from what you may expect from previous forays into econ books, Jimmy4. Most school libraries (colleges) should have a copy; the writing is very clean with lots of humor and easy to understand examples.

sailor 12-31-2003 08:13 AM

Done with Da Vinci Code. That took all of two days to read. I enjoyed it more for the interesting historical tidbits than the story--I thought the story was very much overrated, and reeked of a cheap thriller. Interesting though, if for no other reason than the little pieces of history interwoven.

Im not sure what to read next... It needs to be something that I can finish withing the week so that when I get back to school I can re-read the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Hmmmm....

Kaos 12-31-2003 02:23 PM

I have just started Wolves of the Calla - The Dark Tower V :D
