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.

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.

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.

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.

Of all his books, this was the weakest, but it was still pretty good - keep reading - it picks up

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.

I read that book about a year and a half ago, it was a great read, probably better if you weren't forced into it, because well everyone hates to read required reading. Don't watch the movie, it was okay, but nothing like the book as usual

I'm halfway and it has picked up, but overall it doesn't even come close to Angels & Demons. Hell, the Da Vinchi Code was better.
