    Recently, I am still reading Les Miserables and the Oedipus trilogy. I have finished a book by Robert Rankin, entitled Raiders Of The Lost Car Park and am halfway through Jules Vernes' 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

    Jeez, well... in the last three months I have read:

    Empire by Gore Vidal
    From Russia to USSR and Beyond by Vaillant / Richards
    Japanese: Step by Step by Gene Nishi
    Lord of the Rings, The by Tolkien
    No Spin Zone, The by Bill O'Reilly
    Shorter Science and Civilisation in China, The by Needham
    Treason by Ann Coulter
    United We Stand by Ross Perot
    U.S.A. Since 1945, The by Ganley / Lyons / Sewall
    Why We Fight by Bill Bennett

    I reread all of The Lord of the Rings (including The Hobbit) this past summer for the fourth time so I don't know if it should be included in the list or not.

    Right now I am reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer.

    I haven't read much lately, but what I have read is the first 3 books of Wheel of Time.
    Waiting for book 4 and 5, have to order them, so it takes a week or so to get them =/
    Too bad they only last 3 days per book

    magazines... namely Shonen Jump, Time, and EGM.
    starting on Tale of Genji, though i'd much rather read something from the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett

    I have never read any books but I would like to read a book about the ancient Chinese Kingdoms during the 3 kingdoms era. There is only one problem, I can't find it anywhere. You guys have any suggestions where I could find it?

    I just finished reading The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara by Terry Brooks. If you never read any of his books they are a lot like tolkiens stuff.

    Mortalis is one of his better ones, I thought. Rather thoroughly put together, but it links to the three books before it to a certain extent that if you don't read them, you're sort of lost as to why this is happening or that is happening. It plays a bit off the Black Plague epidemic from England.

    I just finished reading Kushiel's Dart and Kushiel's Chosen, then I picked up Tad William's Otherland: City of Golden Shadow. Currently, I am working on Otherland: River of Blue Fire. I went to Chapters the other day to get the first Harry Potter book, but they were all sold out. And I'm not wandering into that bloody kid's section...

    Just read and wrote a 2000 word Journal on "A Clockwork Orange". Quite a fascinating book, especially how the author incorporated his own special language for it.
