What are you reading?

[RJDiogenes]

I'm about three quarters of the way through The Mystery Of Ireta by Anne McCaffrey.

 

[An Officer]

Just began. Gripping so far. One of those truth is stranger than fiction books.

Before that, I had been re-reading Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock.

 

[Australis]

Just finished Nation as well (good, but prefer Discworld), my casual read is Jurassic park, my serious read is Syd Field's Screenplay. I was going to reread Clive James' The Remake, but the first 10 pages didn't gel with me for some reason, it used to be a favourite book once upon a time.

In the near future may reread the Cornelius Quartet (4 novels (duh!)) by Michael Moorcock or the Flashman Papers (13 novels) by George MacDonald Fraser, or start Jonathon Strange & Mr Norrell.

 

[John Clark]

Just finished Final Impact by John Birmingham

Next up is either Kobayashi Maru or 4400:Wet Work

 

[shrantastic]

The Manga Guide to Statistics

 

[Locutus of Bored]

I recently finished ST: Destiny Book 1: Gods of Night by David Mack, and I'm starting on #2 - Mere Mortals.

 

[LaxScrutiny]

It's been a while since we've had one of these. Right now I'm reading "The Blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood. It's been a while since I've read anything by her and I'm really enjoying it.

Her Cat's Eye is one of my most favorite books, ever. I'm reading Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Change Your Life.

I've lived a few blocks from Atwood most of my life, and as a consequence take her for granted and haven't read anything by her for 30 years. Which is stupid, but I'm just admitting it.

Meanwhile, I'm reading David Eddings' Tamuli series.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Currently reading some of the stories in Tales of the Dominion War, but am thinking about buying something next week, or the week after when I'm all settled in Newcastle.

 

[An Officer]

^ Newcastle, U.K?

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

^ No ... the city of Newcastle in Australia.

 

[The Lady Eve]

I just finished reading "Journals 1952 - 2000" by Arthur M. Schlesinger and am now dipping in and out of "Just After Sunset," a new book of short stories by Stephen King.

 

[cultcross]

^ No ... the city of Newcastle in Australia.

Any castles there, old or new?


I've just started 'Independence Day' by Richard Ford on a friend's recommendation, and also (I liek to keep one fiction one non going simultaneously) 'Dreams From My Father' by someone or other

 

[J.T.B.]

Tried by War: Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief by James McPherson

Just finished Fate is the Hunter by Ernest K. Gann. Wow, an incredibly good book, I can't believe I missed reading it all these years. Highly recommended to anyone interested in aviation.

After debating for a while I decided to pick up Marley & Me. It's fun to read and kinda know what's coming or at least smile knowingly at what labs can get up to.

I don't know if I can really read the end though.

 

[JimCasy]

or start Jonathon Strange & Mr Norrell.

I read that last year...took me a while to get into it, but I ended up really liking it.

I'm re-reading The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker (it's taking me forever cause I haven't been reading much lately). I've realized that I'd forgotten like 90% of what happens, so it's almost like reading it for the first time.

I think I still have like a hundred pages left in Guns, Germs and Steel, cause I took a break from it and forgot I was reading it. I need to find it and hope my bookmark's still there.

 

[judge alba]

started reading thruogh my judge dredd graphic novels

 

[sidious618]

I'm reading Once Were Cops by Ken Bruen and I'm rereading A Storm of Swords by George R. R. Martin.

That's exactly why I haven't read that or other pet books in general.

I just finished it and while I did bawl like a baby (and really I'd like to think anyone who has lost a dog would tear up a bit) it was a great book. It captures a dog who is a total goof up menace but can still get inside your heart.

But if you want a pet book that isn't so sad pick up any of Herriots. Those are great and generally you just get to laugh at a country vet.

You're braver than I am. Next you're going to tell me you've watched that sick, twisted doggie snuff film "Old Yeller".
