What Are You Reading, Again?

[Dr. Yoshi]

The classic Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell. I actually haven't started reading it but I plan to.

 

[BloodyPepperoni]

Relearning to see by Thomas Quackenbush, on vision improvment.

 

[Plexus]

Reading a collection of Asimov short stories - "Robot Dreams". A few good ones in there.

 

[Babbler]

I finish a bunch of books, many of which I cannot recall. The latest was The Code Book, by Simon Singh -- a nice introduction to cryptography. Roger Bacon: The First Scientist, a biography of Roger Bacon, an English Franciscan friar of the middle ages. I can't think of the others for now.

 

[Atlas14]

Biotechnology by someone and Crucible of War by Fred Anderson

The Biotechnology book is very interesting in that I am learning "outside of the box" methods of solving problems to world disease and threats.

 

[SoCalian]

I just finished Eragon by Christopher Paolini, and I started reading the confessions of ST. Augustine today. After that, I will read Green Mars, and After that Eldest, and after that 1984, and After that, prolly alice in wonderland, or something by Palahiniuk.

 

[Moss]

Just finished Gilead by Marilynne Robinson...highly recommend it.

Now I'm going to read The Historian

 

[Turner]

Reading Book 3 of the Honor Harrington series. Nice little space opera stuff.

 

[Perfection]

I'm reading palms for $10 a pop at the corner of 4th and 5th.

 

[Birdjaguar]

I'm reading palms for $10 a pop at the corner of 4th and 5th.

4th and 5th don't intersect. Maybe you were crossing 4th with a 5th.

I'm reading Hunger's Brides. 1200 pages of 17th C Mexico crossed with modern murder mystery (I think). I have lots to go.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Finished the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald recently. HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet - its such a poetic book and its also such an integral part of our literal history.

Currently reading Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. I picked this up after watching the Hours, based off a pultizer-prize winning novel by Michael Cunningham (great movie, I might add ). Woolf's internal, reflective dialogue can get hard to follow sometimes, but other than that it is quite a good read so far.

 

[I am the Future]

The Comunists but that is just a filler, soon I will be reading Atlas Shrugged.

 

[Lord_Sidious]

I've read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince for the second time (the first i read in english, this i read in portuguese) and I'm starting reading for the second time (read 3 years ago, so i don't remember many things) the Thrawn Triology that compromises events in Star Wars 5 years after the Return of the Jedi.

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

Living with Lady Macbeth/Macbeth.

"Something Wicked this way comes" (for Chieftess )

 

[thetrooper]

The Last Juror by John Grisham.

This guy knows how to pull a redneck joke.

 

[nonconformist]

An anthology of extracts from war stories, including Remarque's Im Westen Nicht Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front), Hemingway's A Farewell To Arms, And Norman MAiler's The NAked and the Dead.

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Lord Of The Flies.

Just finished the whole Dune series .

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

I'm reading Hunger's Brides. 1200 pages of 17th C Mexico crossed with modern murder mystery (I think). I have lots to go.

That's not a novel, that sounds like a dictionary.

 

[FriendlyFire]

Hammer of God

 

[mrtn]

I'll start reading the 5th Steven Erikson book soon.
