What Are You Reading, Again?

[Heretic_Cata]

.. so i was saying that if you want a book with all the details in it; i took a huge book "The fall of the Third Reich" (i think) from the public library (it was actually in english). There you could read AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL the details of the final 4-5 months of the reich.
I could go sometimes in the near future and write down the whole name and author if you want.

Cheers Heretic, I've seen the book around. Will see if they spike my interest after I'm done with this one

 

[The Judge]

Currently half way through "Fingerprints of the Gods" by Graham Hancock. A well written book about the evidence of a lost civilization with advanced geometry, cartography and masonry which predates all known civilizations. Quote mindblowing so far.

The new issue of The Economist!

Cover story: "Living with a Strong Russia"


Also, about to start "Risk and Culture", a book about how the things we choose to freak out about (with regard to the environment and technology) are often not chosen based on sound scientific evidence but rather for cultural reasons! Hopefully it will be good!

Microwave Engineering by David M. Pozar.

I'm currently reading Colleen McCullough's The First Man in Rome.

Good stuff. I recently finished the entire six-book series. It got me heavily into Roman history.

 

[Conqueror '91]

Finnegans Wake

y'know, just light reading for the summer....

I am reading the Odyssey

I had read it when i was 13, for the first year of highschool. That was a very bad move to have the Odyssey be read by 13year olds, since most did not pay much attention, and neither did i. I am now watching more carefully for the various elements

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Will begin Les Misarables in like two days, just for fun. I love the story. Following it will be Don Quixote, and then a round of Dumas novels, including The Man in the Iron Mask and The Count of Monte Cristo. I'm in a very French novel mood now.

 

[Till]

I finished the the book about the crusades and now started to re-read the Jungle Books by Kipling. They seem to fit perfectly to the current climate...

 

[Atlas14]

Atlas Shrugged (still), The Prince, and Waterloo Revisited: New Perspectives

 

[Bartleby]

I'm still chipping away at Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. Progress is slow because I tend not to read so much during the summer.

Yesterday I finished Vagabond - Bernard Cornwell

Ah, I read the The Archer's Tale, it was an amazing book. I have Vagabond, but have yet to read it.

So now I'm reading The Sword of Atilla - Michael Curtis Ford. A novel about Atilla the Hun and the events leading up to the Battle of Chalons, and then the battle...

Michael Curtis Ford is a great author. If you haven't read The Ten Thousand (I think thats the title) then you definately should. It was awesome cause it was about Xenophon and the Greeks and Spartans after their defeat and death of Cyrus.

 

[Reno]

Read The Novice by Trudi Canavan and Earless by Tyler Menssen, and finished both just a while ago.

Currently reading The High Lord by Trudi Canavan.

 

[Reno]

Finished The High Lord, the trilogy got better with each passing book (The Magicians' Guild, The Novice and The High Lord). It seems from Canavan's website that a single volume prequel for the Black Magician trilogy is planned. A new sequel trilogy to The Black Magician trilogy is also planned.

Catch-22- Joseph Heller

Brilliant reading, my man, and totally appropriate to your anti-war viewpoint.
