What book are you reading now?

actually you might be better off starting with his first book, Practical Demonkeeping. All of his books have a very small link with the others, and it might be better to start from the beginning.

 

Just finished reading Honeymoon by James Patterson and have started Blood Work by Michael Connelly.

 

Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock.
He looks at the possibility that an older, very advanced civilization predated even the earliest known civilization, the Mesopotamians, by thousands of years. Some interesting arguments are put forward. It's a surprisingly good, thought provoking read.

 

"The Sailing Life" by Bob Bitchin

:-D

My fiance and I just finished Brisingr. We both read it at the same time, same book same copy. LOL We would bicker over wether I would take it to work or stay here with her. can't wait for the fourth!!

 

"Wings of Feather's, Wings of Flame: The Science and Technology of Aviation" by Norman F. Smith c1972

Hopelessly outdated, but still an accurate tome as far as it goes.

An old friend and a good read. Been a really bad few weeks; wife's illness has taken a downturn - hopefully a temporary one like past episodes. Among other issues that have piled on. Times like this I like to pick up an old book I haven't read in a long time - I was looking for Edgar Rice Burroughs' Earth's Core novels, but can't find them! I think one of the kids has them, so "Wings" will do for now!

I've just started reading this one..... so far... it is intriguing.

Shelagh

 

Robert Asprin's "Class Dis-Myth-ed".

 

"A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs c.1917 (Original title "Under the Moons of Mars")

Saw the trailer for the new movie, and it made me nostalgic for the original story.

I didn't know this was his first novel, and thus predates his "Tarzan" tales. Found it out when I looked online just now for the publication date of "Princess." Learn something new everyday!

Wish I had the whole series still - a few have walked out of my library, it seems . . . :crybaby

 

The Religion, by Tim Willocks. My 3rd time through. Excellent read. Supposed to be the 1st of 3 books, but I've yet to hear anything about a sequel.
http://www.amazon.com/Religion-Tim-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1276435461&sr=8-1

Amazon lets you read the first few pages, and IMO, they are the best I've ever read, and gets you hooked from then on.

 

Just continued reading "Basic Economics' by Thomas Sowell. Dude is smart.

 

my current book(s) are The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, the Odessa Files by Frederick Forsyth, and Twilight (Stephanie Meyer - please don't all jump into calling me a scream-teen/twihard). Kind of wierd but i like having several books on the go at once, you read them quicker (I read all of the harry potters back to back one summer in under a week).

@lego 126 - you have taste man!! i really liked the inheritance cycle, unbeleiveable when you think that the guy was 16 when eragon was written :O my bro was a devoted non-reader til i persuaded him to read them, now hes read that series 3 times (when will he learn to go and buy an new/different book?!)

@tux_rules - how good was I, Alex Cross? its a book i've been meaning to get my hands on, but haven't got around to it...

 

Currently, Cuba Libre and Glitz by Elmore Leonard...

Also, always on the prowl for any of Robert B. Parker's 'Spenser' novels, and any of the 'Prey' books by John Sandford that I've missed...

 

"H.M.S. SARACEN" by Douglas Reeman, C.1965

Fictional story of a warship that was involved in two of the worse campaigns ever faced by the Royal Navy - Gallipoli in WWI and the fight for control of the Mediterranean in WWII.

Not far into it yet, but I like it so far. The book itself seem to have faced a few rough campaigns of its own - it's a hardback book, cast off from a school library sometime after Nov 14, 1979 . . . it ended up one step from being destroyed with thousands of other books, but I was able to save it and some of its kin . . . I wish I could have them all. I hate the idea of destroying books. Certainly there must be somewhere they are needed and would be appreciated.

Bit rough, but it still has it's jacket, and while a few pages are torn it appears to be in readable shape (yes, the last pages are there . . . I always check that, lol). It will find its way into my library.

 

Bandits and Mr. Paradise - still on my Elmore Leonard kick...

 

There is.

 

i would be reading something seeing as i went book shopping on thursday, but being it a bank holiday weekend i finished all 3 three books that i bought :cry seems i'll have to go have a look through box of books hiding under a bed somewhere. i hate it went you have the spare time to read books that fast

 

Thank you, Mimsy I have not heard of this site. I'll pass it along as I can - maybe we can save some books!.

 

I'm "Mimsy" there as well... I have very few books left to send out though.

 

The Count of Monte Cristo.

Best revenge story ever.

 

Awesome :clap

I think somebody tried to make a movie of it - but who cares? :confused

 

The movie sucked. Haydee wasn't in it at all.

I got the book here, at a very good price: Nothing. Free books! :celebrate

 

Great book - that, Swiss Family Robinson, and The Boy Scout Handbook would definitely be in my "Top Ten Books Needed On A Desert Island" list...

Speaking of re-reads: just started Dan Brown's Angels and Demons again - good stuff...

 

My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George. I read this book every year for the past 15 years. Love it so much.

 

wow, what a great site! [BookMooch] Thanks Mimsy!
Oh, and "Disrupting Class"..... about the revolution in education as online courses become more numerous and mainstream.

 

This is another site like bookmooch. signed up a long time ago, just never used it yet.

Now reading Eiji Yoshikawa's "Taiko"... big, thick, heavy brick of a book.

 

Persuader, by Lee Child - it's a Jack Reacher novel, and Reacher is one bad dude. :major

 

The notebook by Nicholas Sparks.

 

Stephen Fry's, An Ode Less Travelled

 

Get Shorty and Be Cool, both by Elmore Leonard, and 500 Master Games of Chess, by Dr. S. Tartakower and J. DuMont.

 

Sabriel by Garth Nix

 

Just finished James Patterson's Step On A Crack (fun read!), just started his London Bridges.

 

"Warfare in the Seventeenth Century" by John Childs

It's part of a series put out by the Smithsonian. Little dry, so far.

 

Re-reading The Wishsong of Shannara, by Terry Brooks
