Just finishing Brave New World by Aldous Huxely.

Not kidding? Same here. Two pages left.
Have read this earlier like ten years ago but always a good read.

Finally plugging through Avengers, by Fredrick Forsythe. It's pretty good, so far.

 

[SupremeC]

Driven

A book about BMW

Is Sacred Stone one of his collaborations? I understand his wife died, and he essentially stopped writing. I don't think he's done a Dirk Pitt book in a while.

My mom gave me a bunch of his books when she moved. I haven't read all of them yet, but they're there.

And Avengers was pretty cool. It would have been interesting to see if the Avenger had waited a month before doing his mission....that's all the spoiler's you're gonna get outta me.

 

[Akhhorus]

Misquoting Jesus by Bart Erichman and American Theocracy by Kevin Phillips.

Yup, co-authored with Craig Dirgo.

My mom gave me a bunch of his books when she moved. I haven't read all of them yet, but they're there.

Disappointed by Sacred Stone, I won't read the others too soon.

And Avengers was pretty cool. It would have been interesting to see if the Avenger had waited a month before doing his mission....that's all the spoiler's you're gonna get outta me.

Yeah, extending fiction to RL that would have been very interesting indeed...

 

[Ayatollah So]

Misquoting Jesus by Bart Erichman

Typo correction: it's Ehrman. I've got his lectures on tape on the history of early Christianity, wonderful stuff.

 

[Masquerouge]

I just finished a great book, "American gods" by Neil Gaiman. I strongly advise it. Right now I'm reading "The Years of Rice and Salt", by Kim Stanley Robinson, really good too. And before that it was "Roma Eterna" by Silverberg, which was also a great book.

Yeah, I won't read them either. I tried to read part of one, and gave up pretty quick. Can't even remember which one it was!

Indeed. That one kinda played with me a bit after I put it down. It was definately a 'Whoa!' moment.

Currently reading Under Fire, by WEB Griffin. And King of Foxes, Raymond Fiest.

... Right now I'm reading "The Years of Rice and Salt", by Kim Stanley Robinson, really good too. ...

While I enjoyed this book, I always had troubles accepting the original set up, as that, AFAIK, is unscientific (a disease that deadly would die probably die out before spreading so far).

 

[Red Door]

Catch 22 - Joesph Heller

 

[GoodSarmatian]

Collapse by Jared Diamond, and the usual university stuff...
Next should be a sci-fi classic and later some tyrant's biography (Mao or Stalin, haven't decided yet).

 

[Babbler]

Collapse was a great read! Some whould make some civ senarios out of the situations in the book, like Easter Island or Norse Greenland.
