What book are you currently reading?

Presently reading Planet of the Apes for my SF book group. Our previous book was Ballantyne's Twisted Metal and since I found it was a series and the second book Blood and Iron was already out I bought that for my iPhone as well and make quick work of it. My first non-club/non-illustrated/non-franchise fiction purchase in decades.

Twisted metal is a really interesting book and I have Blood and Iron waiting on my list.

I just ordered used on Amazon:

Shards of Honour (Vorkosigan)" by Lois McMaster Bujold;

"Quarter Share" by Nathan Lowell

based on recommendations and some reviews I've seen I'm up for some space opera in a week or so.

I've read Quarter Share and it's an enjoyable read. When I have the money I plan to pick up the next one.

I'm reading Game of Thrones now after watching the TV series to fill in the gaps. My favorite female character on the show was Arya, but she hasn't come across quite as strongly in the book so far. Then again, I'm only a third of the way into it. Favorite character overall, of course, is Tyrion.

I was quite shocked at how young the girls were in the book...

Wow, I don't have enough time to read the books I like, let alone ones I don't like.

It tasks me...

War of the Worlds: Global Dispatches. For anyone who doesn't know it's an anthology showing how historical figures from the time period of Wells' novel dealt with the Martian invasion.

I had no idea this book existed before you mentioned it. I have ordered a second hand copy through Abebooks as well as Manly Wade Wellman's "Sherlock Holmes's War of the Worlds which I read many years ago.

Awesome little book. Lots of fun.

A volume of collected short stories by Tennessee Williams.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Re-reading all of Kathy Reichs' Dr. Brennan novels (so much better than the T.V. show Bones), getting ready for the new one, Flash and Bones, out this week.

 

[Smellincoffee]

I'm re-reading Foundation, by Isaac Asimov. I'm almost finished with it....on "The Merchant Princes". I may give the entire series a re-read, though I like the trilogy and the prequels more than Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth.

 

[doubleohfive]

I finished the Hepburn book; Still working on Vic Armstrong ... and have started re-reading The Martian Chronicles.

 

[Skellington]

Reading Frankenstein, finally. Have downloaded A Clash Of Kings by George RR Martin to my Kindle but decided to read some shorter stuff first.

 

[C_Miller]

I'm currently reading Supergods by Grant Morrison. I can't remember the last time I read a fiction bok. I kind of miss it.

*Goes to search for my copy of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes*

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

I just finished Rubicon: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic by Tom Holland.

 

[Goldenbird]

I can't wait for the new Kathy Reichs book to come out this week. I have read all of them so far. I'm also reading 'Hellbound Hearts' which is a collection of stories revolving around the Hellraiser franchise as well as a Voyager novel. I can never read just one book at once.

 

[starramp]

I am currently reading two books: The Devil and Sherlock Holmes, a collection of essays by David Grann, and Adversary, a horror novel by Daniel Rhodes.

 

[Kira's Mom]

I can't wait for the new Kathy Reichs book to come out this week. I have read all of them so far.

I just got the new Reichs on my Kindle. I'm going to be reading it tonight!

After NPR published their 100 Best Science Fiction Novels article, I realized that I haven't read all that much science fiction. So I decided to start reading my way through the list during the long, cold, Alaskan winters.

So I've started with Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke and I am loving it. My only complaint, I wish I could speed read with 100% comprehension.

 

[Saga]

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock

 

[Mistral]

Just finished Rude Astronauts.
Began Mauri and Kith by Poul Anderson.
Love the Mauri stories he wrote.....
