What Are You Reading, Again?

[Billy Rubin]

Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond

 

[steviejay]

Future: an amazing book

Till: is that any good?

everyone else : I'm reading a book called The Fall of Carthage by Adrian Goldsworthy however I'm getting the impression that the book I got in America last year, The Punic Wars and this book, are one and the same, but with a different name, can anyone confirm/deny this?

 

[Pasi Nurminen]

Enemy At The Gates - William Craig

Sort of like The Miracle At Dunkirk but set at Stalingrad and much longer.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

Just finished Fowler which is Robbie Fowler's Autobiography, now reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. It's light relief from the European Law I have to read at the minute which, let me tell you, is a laugh a minute.

Finished the first chapter and i like it. He has a pleasant style. You recognize the age of the books sometimes, but it only adds a humourus element to it.
(There are lots of valiant savages and babarians. )

Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond, adn Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett

I finnished calculating god, now im reading the light fantastic by terry pratchett

 

[Conqueror '91]

George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four"

A book that everyone should be required to read.

 

[slip79]

I agree. Very good book that should be read by all.
I'm reading.... *gulp* The female eunuch by Germaine Greer.
Kinda old school at the mo.....

Now im also re reading the Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, and Grim Tuesday.
This thread should become more active as well, all people seem to be saying is the books title and author. Hitch hikers guide is just plain humourous. Grim Tuesday is second book in Garth Nix's new series; keys to the kingdom. Interesting read if you like that sort of thing.

The Prose Edda. Finished the Poetic Edda a while ago and then bought a different translation to see what differences between translations might look like.
