I just finished Douglas Coupland's JPod. I rather enjoyed its randomness but I still like Microserfs more. As usual I am reading more than one book at a time. I am part way through The Eagle, the last of Jack Whyte's Arthurian series and part of the way through the first volume of the Feynman Lectures on Physics.
I have decided to start reading Terry Pratchett so a copy of the Colour of Magic is waiting.

What We Are Reading Now
We are all made of star dust. However we are also made of nuclear waste.
Remember to think before you post.
good luck
I finished The Bourne Identity not too long ago (okay..so it was like October) and I've been reading The Bourne Supremacy since. It's not that I'm a slow reader, 'cause I'm not. It's also not that I don't like reading, 'cause I really really really do. I've just been swamped with stuff, and had been playing WoW way too much. The Bourne series is fucking awesome, check it out if you haven't already. I recently finished the Cirque Du Freak series (Recently being October). That was also a great series...except the last book. What the FUCK DARREN SHAN WHAT THE FUCK?!

I am reading Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, by Gregory Maguire, Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman, and The Fantastic Imagination, which is short stories by a lot of awesome fantasy authors, and is from The Seventies.
Good times.

"Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline.
"Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back."

I read one of his other books, I think. It was pretty enjoyable.
Also, Snow Crash is classic, I love Neal Stephenson.
Currently I am rereading the Discworld series, and I also picked up the new Jose Saramago today.

he's better pay me royalties or he's gonna find out that anal rape isn't as funny as it sounds.
That made me giggle over the phone. The receiving partner was not so humored, apparently she'd just said something serious.

I would like to point out that now that it is generally acceptable that Daniel Radcliff has actually grown up to be a very attractive man, me and Dana and our friend Colleen's foresight can respected for saying "Daniel Radcliff is going to be a hottie" when we were in the theatre for the last movie, rather than just getting tons of pedo points.

That is a pretty awesome book.
As previously mentioned in a different thread, my favourite books are the series by Jasper Fforde:
The Eyre Affair
Lost in a Good Book
The Well of Lost Plots
Something Rotten
I also love Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clark, the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman, and fun murder mysteries like Martha Grimes or Agatha Christie.
