    I see this for movies and Manga, but not real books.

    I know many of you read and many of you don't read. So if this pertains to you, feel free to tell us what you're currently reading or had just read.
    Maybe also tell us a bit about the book and how you felt about it. ;]

    I'm reading "Eric Clapton"
    It's his official autobiography. I love it, it's such a good book so far and I only read 2 chapters. I got it for Christmas.
    Of course he's one of the best artists of all time, a rock God if you will. Can't wait to finish it.

    I'm reading The Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett. For me it's his best work as this book is quite humorous and along with that it has some philosophical-like things that are interesting to think about...

    It's really a shame... But still he's incredible!

    From our university curriculum i liked only one book. It was The Picture of Dorian Grey. And the rest I personally found sooo boring

    Reeeeeeally want to read them, but haven't been bothered to buy the Gunslinger yet. Ive become pretty complacent with my reading; I haven't finished a single book I've studied on this course.

    I'm currently rereading the Wheel of Time books, and I'm about 100 pages into The Shadow Rising.

    Ditto, though it is only my first time. Such great writings, R.I.P. "Robert Jordan", I hope he didn't have to suffer much in the end.

    And I plan to read some Leo Tolstoi stuff afterwards, been already meaning for some time. And possibly some biographies about people I like (i.e. Darwin). Beside that I got enough study-related literature to keep me reading for the next couple of months. x__x

    Recently finished "shadow of the wind", by some spanish dude. It was cute and I really liked it for... some reason. Mainly because I don't read as much as I want to, I think, so anything will do, really. Hm, not sure why I added that. I enjoyed it lots.. oh, well.

    Anyways, I'm currently reading dinner for two. A certain gurl casually told me she had borrowed it and that I could read it if I wanted to, since I've been sitting at home with mono for a good while. She apparently read it years ago and.. eh, I can't figure out why she gave it to me. "You probably won't like it", she said. I kinda do actually, but yeah, it's pretty much a youth book. I think she wants me to understand the importance of condoms or something.

    I finished "Time Enough For Love" by some guy who's name I can't remember, because in reality I finished the book several months ago and haven't had much time to read anything since. It might be Robert Heinlein or something.

    Finished Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion not so long ago, and now reading Sophie's World. Not totally convinced yet... it gets a little too ridiculous sometimes, but the philosophy bits are interesting at least.

    I started reading The Da Vinci Code around Christmas, stopped around chapter 20 (book has a new chapter every 3-5 pages, over 100 chapters). I should probably pick it back up and finish it.

    The Tale of Krispos, by Harry Turtledove.

    Love this guy, he did a 5-6 (can't recall) book series about WW2 in a fantasy setting.
