what have you read recently?

I finished In the Presence of Mine Enemies, by Harry Turtledove, and started Mort, by Terry Pratchett.

I go to the bookstore for textbooks, come out with a few extra books. :eyeball:

I'm now also reading George Orwell's 1984, on an assignment from my English teacher. I am to read this, and then make comments on contemporary society... in speech form. It's as if she thinks I'm good at this stuff or something.

Recently I read the back of a Cereal Pack






























What I really Read: Computing Concepts with Java Essentials. 3E

Cornflakes :P

I'll have you know that this Java book is very big and difficult :P I've only gotten about half way through it.

Kiss-Jill Mansell, nice insight on a rock star's life.
The 5 people you'll meet in heaven, Mitch Albom-not as philanthropic and preachy as it sounds. Pure fiction

I'm reading Forgotten Realms: The Dark Elf Trilogy. I love fantasy.

I just finished George Orwell's 1984 (I can't believe it took me this long to read it!) and David Boaz's Libertarianism: A Primer.

Next on the list is John Stuart Mill's On Liberty and George Carlin's When Will Jesus Bring The Pork Chops?

I like to think I'm an avid reader; mainly contemporary fiction. I have roughly 300 books in my room, I think.

Disgusted with the run-of-the-mill fantasy genre, I gave high fantasy a try and am liking it very much. George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series is a great read. It's got a plethora of characters and political intrigue. It isn't your typical "quest" fantasy series. I recommend it if you're tired of generic fantasy authors (read: Brooks, Jordan, & etc).

Will do. ^_^

I'm almost done reading that Marilyn Manson biography, I've gotten about half way through Interview with the Vampire, I finished 1984 and I still haven't started reading The Monster Dogs (which I got... seven months ago?). And Zephyr's apparently read American Gods, which makes him a god among men. As if he wasn't already.

Still reading it, actually. And, I have a new history book waiting for me when I finish that. Guns, Germs, and Steel, by Jared Diamond. I've heard it's good, a history of the world. I don't know how exhaustive it is, considering it's a few pages shy of 500, but it should be an interesting read, at least.

The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Supremacy
The Bourne Ultimatum

notice a pattern here?

It appears you like Ludlum.

I'm tempted to pick up Identity, but my stack of "books to read" is already so high...:(

Just finished reading Life Expectancy by Dean Koontz absolutely fantastic

Didn't this thread used to be stickied?
