What book are you currently reading?

[Daedalus1942]

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.

Borders had it, but i got it from eBay for $5.
Grat book. first sci-fi novel i ever bought and also the inspiration for the Stalker series.
One of the best sci-fi novels I've had the pleasure to read, along with Flowers for Algernon and the man in the high castle.

Albert Camus' The Stranger. Nice.

Yes buddy easily my favourite book of all time, you tried any kakfa or satre?

 

[Captain-Giggles]

1001 videogames to play before you die, my bro got it for me for Christmas and it's a good book to pick up and read for a few minutes when you feel like it, plus I learned that Oregon Trail came out before Pong.

 

[Aerowaves]

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. Appeals to the historian in me. Very good book.

I just finished rereading 1984, and am currently reading The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman,Volume 9. It's actually a graphic novel, but i'm counting it.

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.

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.

Oh, awesome, thanks.

I'm halfway through Joe Hill's (Stephen King's son)"Heart-shaped Box". Genuinely creepy!!
Also, Jordan's "Crossroads of Twilight", and "Return of the King" to finished LotR for the twentieth time.

 

[EboMan7x]

machine of death

Yes buddy easily my favourite book of all time, you tried any kakfa or satre?

I've read a few of Kakfa's story compilations, definitely a marvelous writer. I've also been dying to read Sartre but haven't had the time lately; any specific recommendations?

 

[likalaruku]

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.

I highly recommend Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. I hear there's going to be a movie.

 

[JackKrauserFtw]

World War Z, and Scar Tissue (The Anthony Keidas Autobiography)

 

[Blackdoom]

I am currently rereading Nineteen Eighty Four.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Emperor's finest.
The latest Ciaphas Cain book by Sandy Mitchell.

 

[Ambi]

I finished 1985 the other day. Now I kind of suspect why my sister thought it was annoying.

I decided to start on Trainspotting again despite being mildly annoyed by the lack of proper grammar and spelling. It's interesting if you can get past that.

 

[den0008]

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.

Just for fun.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Scarecrow by Matthew Reilly.

Really enjoying it, good action scenes that would put some of the best moments of CoD to shame.

 

[Betancore]

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. After it killed a bug for me this morning, I'm growing quite fond of it. It helps that it's quite an excellent book as well, which makes up for all the times I've dropped it on my face.

 

[JeetKuneDonut]

Musashi, by Eiji Yoshikawa. Epic samurai historical fiction. It's everything that Kurasawa wanted to capture, and every ideal that Louis L'amour held dear. Truly the greatest saga I've ever read. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. If anybody knows where I can find any of the film versions let me know.
