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.

Okay, I want the Horus Heresy books now.

But at the moment, I'm on and off reading a book called Beckwood Brae.

The Odyssey by Homer
aaaaand
The Child In Time by Ian McEwan.

...TCIT is such a hard read, in the sense that it has a lot of long words, confusing flashbacks...and is a real strain on emotion. Ugh><.

About to start reading Lord of the Flies, we never had to read it at school which my mum was shocked by but its meant to be good. When I'm done with that starting One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Prospero Burns.

[StealthyNinja]

I'm reading the third Dark Tower book, the Waste Lands by Stephen King. Its been pretty good so far

"Ellips 13: Advanced derivate- and integral calculus" Yay for final exams! :O
14 maths books + 9 physics books to enjoy over the next 2 1/2 months.

How to Train your Dragon : How to Speak Dragonese

 

[Mandalore_15]

Transition by Iain Banks. About halfway through. Not quite groundbreaking, but a good modern sci-fi. Quite dark as well. I'd recommend it to people in the mood for something a bit different from the usual space-opera trash.

 

[Grimbold]

Thus spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche.
I've read more enjoyable pieces of literature.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

If you're into 1940s hard boiled private detectives then I suggest you read Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe books. They're pretty damn good. He describes everything perfectly making it really easy to imagine the surroundings and what's going on. The story is also quite deep. As Marlowe goes on he uncovers more and more and it builds up quite nicely. Mind you, that's just from The Big Sleep.

Now to read The Prince by Machiavelli.

 

[The DSM]

Necronomicon and A Clash of Kings.

Hard to juggle two 800+ page books, but thye are so good I dont care.

The Naked Sun by Isaac Asimov.
As with every other book by him it is amazing.

I've been looking to get into Asimov but I can''t find a good place to start.
I've been reading some issues of his old sci-fi magazine and the little short stories of his I've quite liked.
Is the foundation series a good place to start or is there another more accessible place to start? I quite like his writing, but i haven't read much of it annd I don't want to buy foundation if I won't understand it, possibly due to previous works references or something else.

I haven't got round to reading foundation yet as I'm still reading the robot trilogy. But the best place to start for me was the short stories, they're the easiest to get into and have some amazing ideas. It's still worth reading the novels though. Hope I could help

"The God Delusion" Interesting stuff, I must say.

ah, Richard dawkins. He's got a newer one out too.

"The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution"? Looks pretty good, And it is translated in finnish too! I guess I'll check it out later. Thanks for the heads up!
