what have you read recently?

[Mistral]

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:

[Skinner8]

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

[polobunny]

Oh and I also Read Computing Concepts with Java Essentials.

Pfft, kid reading.


What cereals?

What cereals?

Cornflakes

I'll have you know that this Java book is very big and difficult 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

[Orochifunk]

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

[Dr. Woo]

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.

[Mistral]

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.

[Temp]

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...
