What Book Are You Currently Reading?

[uNz[i]]

Seeing as Musicworld has a "What music are you listening to right now?" topic, I thought I'd try something similar for Bookworld...

The idea is pretty simple... as the topic says, post what you're reading now, and if you know, what book is next on your list. Reviews and/or ratings are optional, but please try to avoid posting any spoilers. This is one topic where generalizing is a good thing. :)

I'll kick off...

Currently reading Hitchhiker - A Biography of Douglas Adams by M.J. Simpson.

Simpson is acknowledged as the world's leading authority on the life and career of Douglas Adams. It's been said that he knows more about Adams' life than Adams himself did.
This is one book where the term "in-depth" doesn't sufficiently convey the author's knowledge of his subject matter; borderline obsessive would probably be more suitable, imho.

I've found it to be a real eye opener.

Next up on my reading list is The New Discworld Companion by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Briggs.

[MagicNakor]

Nothing, currently. I'm waiting for a shipment. :(

I did just finish Dress & Decoration in the Middle Ages, Pharohs of the Sun, and Gulag. Likely the next book I'll read will be A Feast For Crows.

Autumn - David Moody


In the space of one morning billions of people are killed by a disease that scours the world. A small group of desperate, shell-shocked survivors group together and struggle to come to terms with everything that has happened around them.

But then there is a change. Something happens that is so horrific and so unimaginable that the survivors begin to envy the dead.

This is intelligent horror that will get under your skin. This is horror that will grab you by the throat and not let go until it's finished with you. This is horror that you won't be able to forget.

Isaac Asimov's Valentines.

(Anthology, different authors)

[Gutter]

now reading the graphic novel Grendel: Black, White, & Red

http://www.khepri.com/grnd-bwr.jpg


When dealing with the Devil, the least he'll take is your soul!

As deadly as he is mysterious, the masked assassin known only as Grendel first captivated the world of comics in the early 1980s. Inspired by the villain of Beowulf, Matt Wagner created his Grendel with an intent to examine the nature of aggression and how it can get the better of both the individual and society at large. The first to wear the infamous mask, the young prodigy known as Hunter Rose, a flamboyant character in the classic master criminal style, set the tone for what has become a series of epic proportions. Written by Wagner and illustrated by a virtual who's who of talented artists, this trade edition collects the 4-issue series that garnered 1999 Eisner Awards for Best Anthology and Best Short Story. In addition, it includes the very first black-white-and-red Grendel story, "Devil's Vagary," originally published in 1987 and out of print until now.

Suggested for Mature Readers.

I&#39;ve just bought the Dave Pelzer triology, A Child Called &#39;It&#39;, The Lost Boy & A Man Named Dave.

Shocking true story about a boy that was abused by his mother.

[WW-X-]

Im picky about what i read, im not into murder mystery stories.
I like to read poems, and about volcanoes, and earthquakes, etc.
For me i usually look in the pc mag section, cause the books that are out currently are not that interesting. Nothing catches my eye.
All these murder stories and and war books, are despressing. If a new star trek book comes out i would like to read that.
Guess my current interest is fiction. Science fiction is nice, if there is new interesting books out.

I am kinda reading, A+ certificate book, with a billion pages. To much info for my mind lol. Its overloading and about to crash. hehe

You should know I love books based on true stories:

Books which are based on true stories and which are very good written
are:

Waris Diries Life in two books ;) written by herself.
"Veronica decides to die" by Paulo Cheolo&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

really really good&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;


At the moment I have also - after a good watching the film
"nowhere in africa" which based on sad true story, soundtrack
also good to fell inside the sad time of 2nd World War - the second
book - where the story continues of "nowherei nafrica"


but to read a book I need silence silence silence and at the moment
it is every else than silence&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[mala_heart]

I am currently reading
Lotus Birth - Shivam Rachana
http://www.birthinternational.com/product/book/bk663.html

It suggests a lot of health problems later in life are directly due to the way we are born. There is generally a lot of trauma due to current hospital practices of baby delivery, which shows up later in life as stress in many different areas of peoples lives.

Very interesting.

O Pioneers&#33; by Willa Catha (it&#39;s on my reading list for uni...)

[uNz[i]]

Just got the latest delivery from my book club :D

Part of said delivery is a book by my favorite SF/Fantasy author, Robert Rankin.
He&#39;s considered by many to be the world&#39;s leading exponent of far-fetched fiction.

The Witches of Chiswick


History is a cauldron of lies
brewed up by Victorian witches.

We have alll been lied to. A great and
sinister consipiracy exists to keep us from
uncovering the truth about our past.

Henry Ford wasn&#39;t wrong when he said
&#39;history is bunk&#39;. He could still remember
the days when the wireless transmission of
energy powered motorcars, mighty airships
and space cruisers. And when Britannia
ruled not only the waves, but all of the
Earth and much of the cosmos besides.

Did it ever occur to you that Jules Verne
and H.G. Wells might have based their
fantastic futuristic fiction upon fact? Did
you know that The War of The Worlds was
a true account of real events? That Captain
Nemo&#39;s Nautilus even now lies rusting at
the bottom of the North Sea? That there
really was an invisible man?

Now you can learn how a cabal of Victorian
Witches from the Chiswick Townswomen&#39;s
Guild, working with advanced Babbage
super-computers, rewrote 19th century history,
and how a 23rd century boy called Will
Starling uncovered the truth about everything.

:lol: :lol:

[Chame1eon]

I found a bunch of new Paperbacks by Jhon grisham for 50 cents a peice at a used book store. I just finished the rainmaker and now i&#39;m reading the runaway jury. I was really impressed with all of the books i have read by him so far, considering the fact that i have no interest in the genre.

Atlantis Found, by Clive Cussler
I still have to read slight children books as I hate reading and Im trying to force my self to.

[THE DUDE]

non-fiction:
The Eaters of the Dead- ever see The 13th Warrior it&#39;s based on this eye wittness acount of an arab who was conscripted to fight with the Vikings. I&#39;m reading the Micheal Criton version although there other translations.

fiction:
THE FIRST CHRONICLES OF DRUSS THE LEGEND
If you like Robert E. Howard (Conan) you&#39;ll like David Gemmell. Druss has a very Conan like flavour without being a rip off.

The Sillmarillion
Once your finish LOTR this should be the next book u read.

[Powdered Water]

ignobel prize by marc abrahams

[Falconetti]

Currently reading : "Altered Carbon" by Richard K. Morgan

Very good Cyberpunk, Detective novel.

[longboneslinger]

I&#39;m reading all the Clive Cussler books currently Inca Gold, Dirk Pitt ROCKS&#33;

Most excelent choice&#33;&#33;

I&#39;m currently re-reading some of David Drakes books based in his Hammers Slammers universe.
Military sci/fi from the soldiers perspective. The Slammers are the best mercs in the universe and they kick ass on a major scale. Gritty, in your face action with loads of suspence thrown in. The author was in a tank company in Vietnam and he tells it like it really is. Scary, horrible but needing to be done.
His characters are very beleivable with flaws, fears, greed and all the crap we all carry with us. You&#39;ll never want to go to war in any century after reading one of his novels. Outstanding&#33;

[Randomblonde]

Test of the Twins- Margaret Weis and Tracey Hickman

Someone else was reading that too&#33;&#33; I got so excited...

I have four books. A game of thrones, A clash of Kings, Steel and Snow and Blood and Gold (they go in that order other the last two are supposed to be a single book - a clash of swords - split in two).

I checked on amazon.co.uk and they&#39;re do seem to two more to be release (which is annoying as I always seem to get books that haven&#39;t completed yet and I have to hang around for the rest - I did that with the "His Dark materials" trilogy, several of Robin Hobbs books and the wind and fire trilogy by William Nicholson :().

Still its good reading so far (I&#39;m on the second now). The format is nice (switching between characters every chapter) and helps keep the tension up and the books are really well written. I hope its not too long await for the last books :(

Amazon link (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books-uk&field-author=Martin%2C%20George%20R.R./202-9057725-9407021) (link to all George R.R. Martin books).

[FONT=Geneva] [SIZE=7][COLOR=green] I&#39;m reading a book called Sleeping Beauty right now, it&#39;s by Judith Michael. It&#39;s not one of my favorite books, but it&#39;s not bad. It&#39;s about a girl that got sexually abused by her Uncle when she was between the ages of 13 and 15, then ran away , and came back when she was an adult. It&#39;s kinda slow right now, but I think my all-time favorite book is Back Roads by Tawni O&#39;Dell. AMAZING book, I recommend it to anyone. My bf and I have completely different tastes, but he liked it just as much as I did, if not more. Look for it, honestly. Awesome book. :)

[pusher]

I&#39;m currently reading The Puzzle Palace. Which is a book that details the National Security Agency and it&#39;s role ins certain events in history.

Other books on my "To Read" list are:

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (sp?) I actually got halfway through the book then stopped reading.
and when I get around to it Snobbery by Author Who&#39;s Name I Forgot and The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde.

Now....The New Anti-Semitism by Phyllis Chesler
Next...Where The Wizards Stay Up Late...The Origins Of The Internet by

The Gulag Archipelago is, indeed, a wonderful account.

Right now I&#39;m finishing up Lord of the Isles, which means I have to place another Amazon order soon.

[Dubhguy]

Reading, Angela&#39;s Ashes, By Frank McCourt. A bizzare writing style. He uses no dialouge, and it bothers me so, since I read plays a lot. To go from all speaking, to none is quite unnerving. A good read though. Chock o bock full of colloquiallisms. Wow, I spelled that really oddly. Nope, I checked in the dictionary, and its right. Neato. Next up is a re-reading of Beowulf. I loved it, but its a different translation, so it&#39;ll be different.

Geez I haven&#39;t posted since September of last year...

I&#39;m the kinda guy that never reads only one book at a time. I read a bit, if I get bored or a low occurs in a book, I start up another one if I&#39;m not reading to quit reading that session. So I have these on the go currently:

_The Commandos at Dieppe: Rehearsal for D-Day_, Will Fowler.
_China&#39;s New Rulers: The Secret Files_, Nathan & Gilley.
_Eastern Zhou and Qin Civilizations_, Li Xueqin.
_Angkor and the Khmer Civilization_, Michael D. Coe.
_The Pinochet File: A Declassified Dossier on Atrocity and Accountability_, Peter Kornbluh.

And I have a subscription (bi-monthly&#33;) to The Economist I am always struggling to keep up with...

Recently finished:

_Politicide: Ariel Sharon&#39;s War Against the Palestinians_, Baruch Kimmerling.
_Who Killed the Canadian Military?_ Jack L. Granatstein.
_The Trial of Henry Kissinger_, Christopher Hitchens.

I highly recommend The Economist, Autumn Fox -- despite the title of the magazine, it&#39;s really a global, weekly &#39;sitrep&#39; (situation report) on the daily status of serious political/cultural/(ok economic) issues in international relations.

Every month they have a special report (the last issue&#39;s was Japan&#39;s involvement in Iraq -- &#39;flexing their military muscle for the first time seriously since WWII&#39;) and the magazine is organized in sections, so that there are always articles written for any part of the world of particular interest (the North, Central South Americas, all of Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, etc).

A little on the pricey side, but highly recommended for staying up to date in military-international-strategic-globalization studies. No, I don&#39;t work for them.

I've just finished Monsoon by Wilbur Smith.

An excellent romp, once again following the Courtney Family. I'd not read one of his books for a few years but I'm glad I picked it up on the recommendation of my Dad. The way he interweaves the sub-plots is excellent, W. Smith that is, not my Dad.

Back to non-fiction now, of sorts. I'm re-reading Fingerprints of The Gods by Graham Hancock.

I can heartily suggest reading both, MagicNakor, if you haven't already.

Yeah the Courtney family in his books are good. I read a lot of them in my time at Her Maj's leisure.

I highly recommend the works of Robert Rankin, MN.

See if you can get his Armageddon trilogy to start with.

Armageddon the musical
They came and ate us - Armageddon II - The B movie
The suburban book of the dead - Armageddon III

Rankin is a technophobe who writes in the pub using a biro and exercise books.
His writing is a hilariously irreverent mix of religious parody, Arthurian legend, urban myth, comic science fiction/fantasy, crap puns and running gags.

He's recognized as the world's foremost writer of the tall tale, and has been called 'the drinking man's H.G. Wells'.
I look forward to his latest work as much as I do Pratchett's.

Heck, if it turns out you enjoy reading Rankin half as much as I do, we'll have something new to talk about in here... ;)

[TheNobleEU]

How about the "Black Company" series by Cook, MN?

1 _The Black Company_
2 _Shadows Linger_
3 _The White Rose_
4 _The Silver Spike_
5 _Shadow Games_
6 _Dreams of Steel_
7 _Bleak Seasons_
8 _She is the Darkness_
9 _Annals of the Black Company_


If you liked the grittier military history type fantasy of Feist in the Serpent War series, you'll love Glen Cook.

From Atlantis to the Sphinx by Colin Wilson

The Sphinx was weathered by water rather than wind. How is this possible since it's in the Sahara.

[Guillaume]

Sahara was once a verdant place...
But the dates wouldn't match since the last climate change took place 4,000 to 3,600 years ago and, if I remember correctly the sphinx was built under Chephren (2558-2532 BC).

edit: BTW, finally started reading "Going postal" :01:

[peat moss]

I just started reading The Green Mile , by Stephen King . Great movie but thought the book would be worth checking out.

[TheNobleEU]

Sahara was once a verdant place...
But the dates wouldn't match since the last climate change took place 4,000 to 3,600 years ago and, if I remember correctly the sphinx was built under Chephren (2558-2532 BC).

Yes, "Khafre" ("Chephren" is his name as transcribed by the Greeks) erected the second pyramid at Giza.

As Guillaume suggests, you should know that professional Egyptologists totally reject the 'weathered Sphinx' hypothesis, originally suggested by John Anthony West (a layman with no formal training). He originally teamed up with a geologist called Robert Schoch (from Boston University, who does not incidently work in geology, but rather teaches math last I heard) who provided evidence to support the weathered Sphinx theory, but IIRC has since backpeddled on a lot of it under the scrutiny of his geological colleagues. I thought he had actually abandoned West's argument and stepped away from the debate completely, but a quick check of his website would seem to suggest otherwise.

An in-depth (but somewhat out of date) review of the debate:
http://members.aol.com/davidpb4/sphinx1.html

A good archive of websites and position statements by individual (lists the in/famous people involved in various debates, not the least of which is the age-of-the-sphinx fiasco):
http://www.ianlawton.com/gttindex.htm

This is a good website to check before you start reading the known quacks: Graham Handcock, Zecharia Sitchin, Erich von Däniken, etc. Might also want to look for an entry for someone you're unsure about at the Skeptic's Dictionary: http://skepdic.com/

BTW: re: this second last link, _Giza: The Truth_ by Lawton and Ogilvie-Herald (if you can ignore the connotations of the title) is actually a good overview of back-door politicking and scandal of un/professional Egyptology of the 20th C. An interesting and quick read that anyone familar with the history of excavation of ancient Egypt would find most eye-opening.

Edit: Currently reading:

Bought recently:

(apologies to any French lotharios out there... ;) )

The reason I started at the beginning is that I like to read an author's catalogue from first to latest whenever possible.

You get to see the writer's skills evolve over time, and that can be pretty cool.
There can also be running gags or references to previous stories that a reader will miss, or not get at all if they started with a later work.
There's more reasons, but you get the idea...

And I have no need to pick up women - that's what my g/f tells me anyway. :unsure:

omg, if you haven't read this book you should be labeled a fag. seriously though, if you haven't checked it out do so, it's not your typical tom clancy book at all. if you're somewhat of an intellect, you can really read b/w the lines in this book, it has a much much much much deeper meaning then what meets the eye, at first u might not understand what i'm talking about, wait till u get 1/4 through the book, then you'll realize this guy is a freakin genius.

And I ordered this precious gem, heard some good things about it, either way, can't wait:
