What book are you currently reading?

[Sinndogg]

Terry Pratchett's Thud! A frightening rel event story about religious intolerance.

I always thought Thud! was more about cultural and racial intolerance?

Anyway, I'm reading Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings and (if we can count paperback editions of comics) Season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Planning to read The Iliad next.

Also, I've noticed a lot of people in here are reading books from The Horus Heresy. My interest in 40K has waned since the last one I read (Tales of Heresy, which had some cool stories), so I haven't bought any since, but I was wondering if the books released since that one are actually well-written or not. If they are, then I might consider picking some up.

Oh, and nice to see some Wheel of Time love here.

Hello Escapees, Just wondering what books you guys and girls are reading right now?

I finished off the third Horus Heresy book the other day and decided to take a break from it, so I picked up The Road and am totally loving it, depressing but awesome at the same time.

Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky.

I've only really started reading it in the last day or so, but so far I'm engrossed.

Where'd you buy it? I've been looking for it in a few bookstores and can't kind it, and I don't like buying books online because I don't know what shape they'll be in when they get to me.

I didn't my girlfriend got it me for Christmas. But she ordered it from our local bookstore apparently less than £10

Damn, guess I'll keep looking.

 

[Superior Mind]

I'm reading Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy. Good stuff. I'm trying to get back into pleasure reading after years of boring academic texts from University.

 

[Joshimodo]

Paradise Lost, again. Recently brought a brand new hardbook copy, and it's a gorgeous thing.

I read a lot of advanced literature when I was a kid, and Paradise Lost has always stuck as one of my favourites.

 

[megapenguinx]

The new Cracked.com book.
I downloaded it onto my iPad and have been barreling through it the last few days. It's a fun read if anyone is looking for nothing too serious.

Hey, I just learned what that book series was today at Borders

I'm reading The Fires of Heaven, the 5th book in the Wheel of Time series, which I highly recommend to any fan of fantasy novels. I also picked up First Lord's Fury, the 6th(I think it was...) book in the Codex Alera series, which is also awesome and also highly recommended to any fantasy novel fans.

Well in theory you should be able to order the book from a Barns and Noble or something without putting down a deposit so that way you can see its condition first. I know thats how are bookstore does it.

 

[Good morning blues]

I'm reading A Very Short Introduction to Ideology for work and Queen and Country for pleasure.

 

[Nexoram]

I found a copy of Alice in Wonderland from a long time ago. I'm about to start reading it again.

 

[cannot_aim]

Foundations Edge by Isaac Asimov

looking forward to reading The Way of kings by Brandon Sanderson next

 

[Dwarfman]

Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain

 

[xxmastermillerxx]

Born to Run by Christopher McDougall.

 

[Zyphonee]

Albert Camus' The Stranger. Nice.

 

[JamesBr]

I have collected edition of all the Sherlock Holmes stories, I'm going through that.

 

[dicai]

"The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger, because I've recently became interested in The Beatles and the one who killed John Lennon said that this book was his "statement", so I want to know what the hell.

 

[WicketL]

I'm reading Asimov's Foundation. I know, a little late to the party, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

Haha good pick, its never too late for Asimov. I'm reading his collection of Robot Stories, so freaking amazing, a little rusty because of its age but is impressive to see the age that the writers were born and reflect how many years passed after that.

 

[ArcticSquirrel]

The Road and Fahrenheit 451
