What are you reading right now?

Twilight. Not the vampire book everyone seems to hate. The unfortunately-named conclusion of the Christie Golden's Dark Templar Trilogy. Pretty good for a Starcraft book trilogy IMO, and includes use of a few of the new units in Starcraft 2 plus some semi-endearing new characters. I actually hope to see Valerian Mengsk play a role in SC2 now. And Ulrezaj, if he survives this book.

I also got Bob Rae's memoirs up to 1997 for cheap at local fair. There aren't very many folks whose memoirs I'd want to read but Rae and Clinton are two of them.

I just finished "Dragonne's Eg" by Mary Brown (Good book, though this girl has MUCH easier journeys than Summerdai.).

I'm trying to decide between "The Merlin Effect" by T.A. Barron, and "Those Who Walk in Darkness" by John Ridley as far as what to read next.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Desperation by Stephen King... well... kinda... read about 4 chapters of it while I was sitting in an airport, and now haven't really been doing much reading... dunno why, but I can never really read in my own house...

I've never enjoyed romance books, but these ones are good.

 

[dochmbi]

The Essential Epicurus.

I also purchased Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged recently, because it was advertised in Fallout 3 so much I had to get it

Royal Assassin, which is the second book from the Farseer series by Robin Hobb.

Amazing series so far.

I'm (re)reading Renegades Magic by Robin Hobb last of an excellent trilogy (Soldier Son trilogy). A very good book. Apart from a Chapter almost entirely about the main character eating (The bit that isnt however is good).

I find this a Problem of Hobb's she describes everything in the minutist detail.
And because of this i never did Finish the Farseer Trilogy, a shame really.

I've just finished The City and The City by China Mieville (awesome sorta-fantasy modern-day police procedural) and have moved onto The Guns of August [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guns_of_August] by Barbara Tuchman. I like to switch between fiction and non-fiction so that I learn every second book and just have a good time every other one.

I've never enjoyed romance books, but these ones are good.

About halfway through Atlas Shrugged. Finished the Alchemist for school which seemed like child's play compared to Ayn Rand's "magnum opus." Yeah, it's that deep.

How are you finding Atlas shrugged? I've heard its packed with her theories on Objectivism etc?

That's really the whole point of the book. While on its own I find it to be incredibly suspenseful, ridiculously deep, and fascinating in how real and three-dimensional her characters are it's still her case for Objectivism. The way she presents it and just the manner in how her theories are communicated to you as you read are quite groundbreaking. It's nearly impossible to describe the book because of just how epic in scope it is. I suggest reading it, whether you agree with Objectivism or not it's still a fantastic read. While it never says "Objectivism" in the book, the qualities and beliefs of the main characters who "stand against" the fall of the country's spirit and whom eventually cause its renewal are distinctly Objectivist. Their personal beliefs and moral code are what Ayn Rand is calling Objectivism.
