Unofficial What are you Reading Thread?

[Juana]

Which ones have you read?

Pratchett: Small Gods, Feet of Clay, one of the Moist von Lipwig books.
Gaiman: American Gods, one of his short story anthologies, or Ananzi Boys.

[Diogenes]

You could also try Good Omens which was written by them both!

I'll second Feet of Clay and the Moist von Lipwig books (but especially Going Postal).  Really the wonderful thing about Pratchett is that you can't go wrong.

For Neil Gaiman, it's a short read but The Graveyard Book is very good, and of course the standards of Neverwhere, Anansi Boys, and American Gods.



Just finished reading No Country for Old Men.  If The Road and Blood Meridian hadn't convinced me, I love Cormac McCarthy.  The movie for this one is probably the most faithful adaptation I've seen.

That was a good one.

I think they're making a TV series of it.
With Terry Jones writing/directing? I forget.

I'm reading pale fire by Nabukov. Cool idea for a book and a really good use of unreliable narrator, He's always been good at that though, at least he was in Lolita.

[Lord Cataplanga]

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. Wich reminds me I should get around to reading Tokyo Blues sometime soon.

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Life, Letters and Epicurian Philospohy of Ninon L'Enclos. She's a trip. 

[Jasper]

It's taken me half a decade to bother with it, but I've almost finished reading all of the Discworld novels.  All that remains is a few chapters of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents.

Next stop: Get around to all those cognitive neuroscience books I keep buying on impulse.

The Mysteries of Pittsburgh by Michael Chabon

And then we hit the Checkpoint, as Cleveland called it-the bane of his career as one who always tried to push things; and at that inevitable one-way Checkpoint of Too Much Fun, our papers were found in order and we crossed into the invisible country of Bad Luck.  Teddy's mother - whoops, Teddy was only fifteen years old, after all - came looking for her son and found Mr. Genteel, Evil Incarnate, her unretarded, badly coiffed boy, and myself lying on the floor of the Bellwethers' salon, surrounded by empty green cans of Rolling Rock and four exhausted dogs, two of which were still linked in the midst of a painful-looking dance of extraction.

I'm reading the spy who came in from the cold. It's supposedly one of the best written spy novels, the writing is very basic so far but there is a good sense of dry humor throughout so it doesn't feel bland to read.

[Freeky]

I'm rereading The Dark Tower Sersise. I wish I was reading the inside of my eyelids though, I'm all loopy and tired.`

[Prince Glittersnatch III]

Im reading, the original Power of Positive Thinking.

For some reason I keep spending money pirating(Kindle Bitches) all sorts of books on media, philosophy, biology ect. yet I put all those off in favor of a musty old self help paperback I found in my grandmas attic.

Thats ADD for you.

[LMNO]

Finished The Hunger Games Trilogy.

Darker and Edgier, indeed.  A lot of good themes, plus a shitload of Black and Gray Morality.
