What Book Are You Currently Reading?

[Pangur Bán]

This thread has propbably come up before, but, who knows, the search is always down!

ANyway, I was just curious to know what my fellow OTers are reading at the moment?


ME? My fiction book at the mo is Master & Magarita by Bulgakov. It's cooler than you might think. It is the story of the devil descending on the atheists of 30s Moscow disguised as a magician/scholar, with a narrative occassionally going back to 1st century AD Iudea at the time of Christ's crucifiction. I have just started though.

I'm also reading Cassius Dio's Roman History and a bio of Frederick II amongst many other non-fiction works.

I need no book to fulfill the needs of many.

Last book I read was 20th century year by year which I finished last weekend, its one of those time-life book things.

Japher says: I will read no book before it is written...

"Sometimes a Great Notion" by Ken Kesey.

Read ****oo's Nest a few years back and it set me on a mad reading buzz. Strange now how my current book might well finish that buzz. About 150 pages into it and turning each page is a chore. Not that it's badly written or isn't thought provoking or anything, just nothing's happened yet. However Leland has just arrived back at the family home (what the 150 pages seemed to be leading up to) so maybe it'll get interesting now.

Two at once, right now.

Stephen King and Peter Straub's new release, I guess that the original titrle is "The Dark House";

And Charles Dicken's "Chirstmas Books", specifically the famous "A Christma's Carol".

Regards .

I'm still reading "The Guns of August". Lanrezac was a genius to do what he did. I feel bad for him because he was hated by his entire country for literally saving the entire 5th Army...

Just finished The Scorpion by Stephan Sullivan. It was pretty good. I'm waiting for Jaws of Darkness by Turtledove to come out in paperback. The hardcover is too expensive for me. Also waiting for the third book in Turtledove's American Empire trilogy.

Obviously calgacus hasn't read it. I highly recommend it.

I'm still reading When the Legends Die by Hal Borland, for school. I don't really read for pleasure, though.

BAH! Fiction is crap!

"General Chemistry seventh edition" by Henry F. Holtzclaw JR. William R. Robinson and William H. Nebergall.

I'm up to chapter 29 "Coordination Compounds"

Oops

Well, I didn't know it existed, so manually searching might have been futile.
