What Are You Reading, Again?

[steviejay]

Just started reading "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William L. Shirer again. I may be some time.....

 

[Zwelgje]

I'm trying to read a book by Forsyth for months already and started over a couple of times. It seems I'm not able to read a book anymore, I have to read too much for work already and in my spare time I want to do something else.

 

[The Last Conformist]

I was so offended that they put it on a CD I nearly tossed it. I pay 60 bucks for a nice bound manual god damnit.

I got it as a paperback. European (DVD) edition, not pre-order.

(Incidentally, does anyone know why they shipped it on CDs in America?)

 

[Shaihulud]

Im reading, "The Suburban Book of the dead": Robert Rankin. It is supposed to be a comedy, but I find it dead boring.

I presume they sold the vast majority of the initial order in the US and it would only make sense to save trees and dough by putting them on CDs.

now picking up Russel's History of Western Philosophy again.

I read the ancient philosophy section awhile back then took a break to read some science-oriented books, but now I'm reading it again, skipping one section and starting on philosophy since the Rennaissance.

The Rainmaker by John Grisham. I'll pick up The Pelican Brief tommorow.

The Third World War by....

....

darn it

also: A Guide to the Ancient World by Michael Grant. 700+ definitions of Classical place names. Should keep me buisy for a while, until....

My dad finds this book about the Civil War he has published in 1870. I want to compare it to modern history textbooks, to see how much we've been lied to about....

 

[Timko]

I just finished A Brief History of Time or somesuch by Hawking. It was ok to read, and had some very interesting/counter-intuitive things in it. I've just started Larry Niven's Protector. I've read it before though.
