What's everyone reading?

[Tazo]

I just picked up Wolves of the Calla.  I read the first four Dark Tower novels in high school before he took his big hiatus on 'em, and it's time I went back and finished the things.

I'm very glad he had a five page summary of the first four books and their important bits, because I swear I had forgotten so much.

I'm currently reading House of Chains by Stephen Erikson, book 4 in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series.  The books are dense but good reads.  TONNES of characters and story arcs that cross and meander about. 

 

This is basically my favourite series everrrr. FINALLY letting myself reread them again. The only other thing I can't help but let myself get THIS sucked into is Diablo 2 LoD. It's seriously a good thing I never got into drugs ehehehe

 

So yeah, just re-started on Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson!

I'm currently re-reading "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life" by Donald Miller. Fairly inspirational stuff. A couch potato author gets into the Tour de France and decides that he wants to bike across the country, all while making a movie about his life. Crazy, but it sort of challenges the notion that you can't change your life or do radical things. However, it is definitely a realist piece of literature. He's brutally honest about his shortcomings and the story doesn't play out like you think it will.

I'm re-reading Peter S Beagle's The Innkeeper's Song.  It's been about 15 years since I last read it, and it's interesting to see how I'd misremembered the main plot, and how I feel differently about the characters now.

I'm currently finishing up The Scar (China Mieville), and enjoying it - it was a recommendation from the intern in our office, and while it took me a little time to get used to his style, I find I'm really enjoying his work. Though I think of the two I've read recently, I much preferred Perdido Street Station.

 

I started Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life (Neil Strauss) last night before I went to bed - seems like an entertaining read.

I've been a die hard Potterhead and historical fiction/fantasy nerd for years but I'm only just getting around to reading the LotR trilogy+The Hobbit + The Silmarillion and all 7 of the A Song of Ice and Fire books. I've in the middle of a book called Roma Victrix which is the sequel to a book called Gladiatrix by Russell Whitfield. I have a huge pile of books in my room (that is the same size as my 'already read' pile) that I have bought but have yet to read. I'm looking forward to reading all of these books! I think nerd is an understatement when it comes to me and reading.

I'm reading The Vorkosaigan Alliance by Bujould, just started it last night. I just finished the John Scalzi super bundle that was in the last Humble Bundle we downloaded. Before that was the Mongoliad: Part 3. We tend to like Scifi/Fantasy/Cyberpunk in my house

[cobaltsword]

I finished a few days back The Art of Happiness by his Holiness the 14th Dalaï Lama a most inspiring book.

I still got a few books to read from Jack Whyte's King Arthur series

i'm kinda in a dry spell bookwise right now, no more funds (i'm a student) and in the middle of the exams so no time Xo

Otherwise i'm constantly reading, I love to read

[sylkamaru]

- Drizzt's saga, from R.A Salvatore (best fantasy author in the world ever no, I'm not a fanboy )

I'm currently reading it (again) because for the first time, he's coming to France this summer !!!!!!

Ten years after my message on his forum, begging him to come...

 

Also currently have on my night table :

- Neuromancer - William Gibson

[Pretzle]

I'm currently reading "A tale for the time being" ('time being' being a noun in this case) by Ruth Ozeki. 

So far it's been really good, although it does describe some things in a rather gritty way. I'm about 3/4 into the book now and I'm not sure whether I want to take my time or finish it asap. It's a really intriguing read but I am looking forward to something a bit happier by now... Really wonder how it'll end

Almost finished with Ender's Game-Orson Scott Card

[andygates]

Tarmac: Iron Council is good too.  Worth a couple of reads, as his stuff all is.

 

I'm on Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (because the Irathients in Defiance are clearly wardrobed as a "legion of horribles").  I'm not sure I have words to adequately describe it. Perhaps: "The man picked up the book and read a paragraph. Then he read it again. He put the book down hard, like it might get up and bite if it wasn't taught its place.  Five minutes later, he picked it up again."

[Aqweei]

Finished up 1984 and A Feast for Crows last week. 10% into A Dance with Dragons this week. Probably revisit all of the Ender's Series next. 

[AverageFish]

Just finished The Manual of Detection by Jedidiah Barry. Surreal.

Just saw your post. Unfortunately book six and seven of A Song of Ice and Fire aren't finished yet. Six should be out in the next couple of years and we are all hoping Martin doesn't die before he finishes the seventh book. Its also a possibility there could be an eighth.

[Lyra Rigby]

Currently reading a big stack of manga that I checked out from the library. Some titles include:

-Is This a Zombie?

-Full Moon O Sagashite

-Absolute Boyfriend

-Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends

-And several others that I am waiting for....

 

I'm also finishing up "The World Until Yesterday" by Jared Diamond and a Donald Miller novel that a friend loaned me a few weeks ago.

[Emissary2Ornj]

Just read Divergent by Veronica Roth. I like! Definitely tamer (not as bloodthirsty) as the Hunger Games arena-survival premise but just as intelligent and well-written. Only thing I was slightly unhappy w/has to do w/the protagonist's parents... Might try to read the other books in the trilogy, for sure.

[Tocho]

Re-reading the Harry Potter books, I've read them in this order [don't ask me why!]: 5th, 6th, 7th, 1st, 2nd, currently on 3rd.

I'll have to read The Silmarillion and re-read the Lord of the Rings sometime soon. Those will be the next books I read. Or maybe I should read Solzhenitsyn first. (One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich)

[Oogiem]

Getting back into reading. Read Ender's Game when it was part of the Book Club's challenge and I enjoyed it. Yesterday, after saving $ for a month (being unemployed sucks), I bought The Joy of X by Steven Strogatz. So far, me and my sisters like it. x)
