What We Are Reading Now

But... Wicked was so horrible! Why?

[jtaylor]

Nil: A Land Beyond Belief is my new favorite book and I've only read the first ten pages so far.

I just realized that Nil was illustrated by James Turner.
Odd.

i just finished bloodletting and miraculous cures, VERY good,
and Black Dahlia... gory, but good engrossing even
and now im reading all that matters, by wayson choy. pretty good, but tis one of those books that constantly reminds you of the fact that its characters are chinese, by writing something in chinese, then translating it within the same sentence... lame, but a good story...

I finished a couple of dozen goosebumps.

I finally finished The Children of Hurin by JRR Tolkien. I am now rereading The Silmarillion.

I've decided to read all of the harry potter books. I finished the first one in 3 days by just reading an hour a night. It was cool, since I haven't watched the first movie since ever.

I want to read the golden compass or whatever. Sounds pretty cool.

[CyberTractor]

Golden Compass > Harry Potter.

[Lavos]

my balls > your face

I finished a couple of dozen goosebumps.

Goosebumps, ftw!! I literally read every existing Goosebumps book in like 2 weeks when I was a kid. I absolutely love that series! I think I may even have my Night in Terror Tower VHS around here somewhere... (yeah, I'm that much of a dork xP)

MEANWHILE- I'm reading HP7 right now, and am about 1/4 of the way through. It's a good read, but damn is it depressing!!

Rant by Chuck Palahniuk.

[zombine]

harry potter 7(basically done)
Company by Max Barry
A.P. US summer homework

[CyberTractor]

House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski and Son of a With by Gregory McGuire

[Trademark]

Well, I finished Flies by Sartre (well, can´t say finished since it is a drama and it only took me a few hours to read the script) and now I´m gonna start with the Heller´s Head XXII. A friend of mine said it´s brilliant so I wanna find out:)

[JesterJ.]

Golden Compass > Harry Potter.

I would generally agree, but I really think she did wonders with the last book...ended so well.

Although His Dark Materials is SO. EFFING. AWESOME.

[Mendhi]

I'm currently reading Hitchens (God Is Not Great) - he's a pompous ass, but he makes good points. I'm also reading The Assault On Reason by Gore (I'm just starting, no one tell me how it ends) and about to start The Day Watch (because The Night Watch was just freaking oddball enough to hook me).

I used to have an employee who went to the school that Ayn Rand opened up....she was wild. Ayn Rands books? Not so much. I'm sure they are considered torture in at LEAST 62% of countries around the globe. Maybe 64%.

[Lord Chrusher]

Classical and Statistical Thermodynamics by Ashley H Carter, Optics by Eugene Hecht, The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Richard Feynman, Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics by Raymond A Serway and John W Jewett, Electromagnetism by Gerald L Pollick Daniel R Stump.

I'm about halfway through the last book in the Golden Compass Trilogy.

Parts make me want to choke the shit out of the main character though. Don't know why.

[Metaleaf]

The Essential Jung.

[darthsparkles]

I own World War Z but I haven't gotten around to reading it.

world war z was great. it's all done as people recounting their experiences through out the different stages of the epidemic. not really what i was expecting but still definitely good.

i just finished blue belle by andrew vacshh.
i love this guys style. gritty new york city underworld, conspiracies, theft, murder, etc etc. it's a great book. i need to read the rest of the stuff he's written.

currently working on the plauge by albert camus.
the outsider is one of my favourite books ever. so far this one is holding up. i love camus. yep.

and yesterday i started the tommyknockers by stephen king.
i love him too. like a lot.

I'm currently reading Mass Effect: Revelations by Drew Karpyshyn. Drew Karpyshyn is the guy who wrote the entire plot for the X360 game due out in a little while and chose to write a book to explain to the readers/gamers what happened before to trigger the events of Mass Effect. One nice thing is that it's written by the original writer, so it's not an interpretation of the events by someone else.

By no means is it the best writing on the planet, but it's got a good plot thus far and really gears you up for the game. I know I won't feel as lost going into the game as I imagine I might be with not reading the book.

like which?

[Lord Chrusher]

An Imaginary Tale: The Story of √(-1) by Paul J Nahin. Next I am going to read the Prince by Machiavelli

[Sable]

Chrusher: The Prince is an absolutely fascinating read. Let me know how you like it!

I'm just starting "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal," by Christopher Moore. I'm hoping for some serious lulz, as "Bloodsucking Fiends" and "Practical Demonkeeping" were hilarious.

[Lavos]

It by stephen king.
