Black Spring- Henry Miller <3
|
Just started on The Fifth Elephant.
It's part of Terry Prachett's Discworld series (book #25 i believe). They arent hard reads but are for the most part pretty good and damn funny. I often find myself laughing (and often groaning) out loud. If you want to check it out pick up the first two books, The Colour of Magic, and The Light Fantastic. |

PS. I love quoting my own threads! |
Just started The Illuminatus! Trilogy a couple of days ago. So far (just finished the first book) I like it very much.
|
I'm reading The Soulforge by Margaret Weis (again).
|
Actually, I'm not reading anything right now. I just finished the sixth book of the "Dune" series, by Frank Herbert (Chapterhouse: Dune). And now I am at a loss as to what I should read next.
|
Japanese Inn by Olive Statler and i just finished Musui's Story by Katsu Kokichi.
|
Finished "Hunger" by Knut Hamsun today, it was a really good read. Starting to read the "Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio now.
|
A Rumor of War by Philip Caputo.
I am being forced to read this for a history class but it's actually not that bad, and that's rare of me to say about a book I'm required to read. It's about the author's experience as a soldier in Vietnam and it's not that bad. |
I was so frustrated after I watched the movie "Troy," that I went out a bought a copy of "The Iliad." So I'm reading that right now.
|
Now Wait For Last Year by Dick. The description of a character going through the withdraw symptoms of a drug that alters your movement through space and time is superb. Man was a damn genius.
|
Ilium by dan simmons. A sci-fi book using the greek gods from the Iliad.
|
Anna Karenina by Tolstoy
|
A Clockwork Orange
A friend told me it was a good book, so I had to check it out. Half the fun is deciphering the crazy hybrid Russian slang :) |
Justine-Marquis de Sade
|
I am currently reading No Time to Say Goodbye Surviving the Suicide of a Loved One by Carla Fine.
|
Re-reading the Enders Game series. Been a few years since I've read them, and I forgot how great they actually are.
|
Deception Point by Dan Brown
About 10% through and so far it's been pretty boring. Note to self: Why the hell am I still reading Dan Brown? |
Rereading War Music-an 'interpretation' of the illiad by Christopher Logue. Highly, highly recommended for any fans of poetry or Homer.
|
Tao Te Ching

Sharpe's Tiger

TFP I read TFP and it's enough for me.

Night of Blood - Richard Knaak

Woodward's "Plan of Attack."
It's good - just like the last one, "Bush at War," was good. Woodward is a fair witness, a good journalist, and a decent historian of recent times. |
Read Albert Camus' The Stranger.
Just about done with The Myth Of Sisyphus, which I am enjoying quite a bit. |
Rites of Passage by William Golding. It's going down a treat, an absolute hoot.
|
Gah, what am I not reading right now. I have a habit of starting something, forgetting about it, and starting something new.
Eragon The Stand by Stephen King 1984 by Geroge Orwell I also have a bunch of books coming via ebay soon, and I promised Traff I would read his Dark Elf Trilogy. |
Ghost Wars: The secret history of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001 - Steve Coll

Was reading The Icuras Agenda by Robert Ludlum, but it got packed into a box and haven't found it yet, so decided to pull out Louis De Bernieres' " The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts". Figured something with that title on my bookshelf should make for interesting reading... here's to finding out.
