Currently Time out of Joint by Philipp K. Dick, very unusual and funny like all of his books I have read so far.

Just finished When Will Jesus Bring The Porkchops by George Carlin. When Wal-Mart bans a book, I make a point of reading it.

Im reading Redcoat by Bernard Cornwell. He's definately one of my favorite authors as far as novels go.

 

[earthguido]

A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

I have also 2 books on Argentine history in my night table, too boring to read from beggining to end but I can take it a chapter a month or so.

Just finished rereading the complete In the Balance series (including the Colonization sequels) by Harry Turtledove.
Very good reading if your into alternate history.

Then read 'War for the Oaks' by Emma Bull - pretty good, considering it was her first book! (urban fantasy)

Starting on 'The Jackal of Nar' by John Marco - looks good, if it's interesting, that series should do me for a few days...

Oh, another great book I read last week: The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud - if you like humoristic fantasy, read it!

As you may gather, I love to read and I'm a speed reader..

Stalingrad by Antony Beevor

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Stalingrad was an amazing book, was very glad I read it.

Currently I'm reading Mark Steel's Vive La Revolution and working my way through John Milton's Paradise Lost.

 

[JohnRM]

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

 

[Yom]

Stalingrad was an amazing book, was very glad I read it.

Currently I'm reading Mark Steel's Vive La Revolution and working my way through John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Milton's paradise lost is a hard book to get through. We've only read parts of it in my AP English 12 class. The fact that he was able to take a few pages (or whatever amount) from the bible and make a huge fictional story from it is intriguing, though. I bet his daughters (to whom he dictated the book, because he was blind) thought he was insane though! Have you read about the birth of Sin and Death?!

Against A Dark Background, by Iain M. Banks

 

[Suppersalmon]

Stalingrad was an amazing book, was very glad I read it.

Currently I'm reading Mark Steel's Vive La Revolution and working my way through John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Mark Steel's viva La Revoloution is also a good i read it dureing the summer he grew up about 20mins car ride from me so i got the couple of jokes he made about Swanley in it
