Superb

I shouldn't think that THAT many cock ups are good reading, aye?

Fyodor Dostoyevsky: The Gambler/Bobak/A Nasty Story

[Harmony]

I just finished reading 'Trainspotting' by Irvine Welsh... It's ehm...'different' from the movie, and the style is somewhat odd, but it was nonetheless very enjoyable.

[Xenobius]

Ehhh... William Gibson, anyone? Just finished his Neuromancer/Count Zero/Mona Lisa Overdrive trilogy, all great books, though the first one stands out a good bit.

And just before it, Pages of Pain, by Troy Denning. Just the thing which got me playing Planescape over again... Loved it, too... I like bad endings, 'cause i'm sick of the Happy End thing. G.Orwell is a good one, too. 1984 - (That's a book title, not a year of publishing.) Deeply depressing, and makes to think, a lot...

[Mistral]

March Upcountry, by David Weber and John Ringo. Well, technically I'm still reading it...

Also, Megatokyo Volume 2. More for the extras than the main story, which is available already; it's interesting to learn how Largo and Pirogoeth first met each other.

Fan Mail.

it's neat because it's entirely written in e-mails, letters, faxes, memos, and phone messages.

[Sanitarium]

Currently reading Isaac Asimovs The Complete Robots, and some manga: Hellsing Vol.1

[Koichi]

X/1999 volume 8.

[Aniuelenhon]

This week I read Digi Charat :volume 1,Digi Charat: Digiko's Summer Vacation, and the Series of Unfortunate Events Books: 1-7

[Mistral]

So do I, madcrow, but I like to support the things I enjoy, at least while I still have a little bit of disposable income left.
I'm on Harry Turtledove's Ruled Brittania now; I've always liked alternate history, and the Spanish Armada smashing the poor Brits from the Channel to the Marches is an interesting idea, as well as plausible.

[Foxhound]

I am reading the books Anthem and 1984. Those are two good books I like to read. Well that's all I am reading right now.

[Dark Sabator]

i'm currently reading the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy, by philip pullman. it reminds me a lot of discworld, but with more of a fantasy feel to it. and, easier to read. i can't find the final book anywhere though. so, right now, i would say i'm reading everything i can find about formula 1. i'm in repression from it, i can't wait for the new season. micheal schumacher is finally goin' down, and about damn time.
