What's been your latest read?

[Joe Deadman]

Just need to finish reading Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett. Then im thinking of moving on to either witch and wizard by James Patterson or one of the two red dwarf books I got recently.

I'm currently reading Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? By Philip K. Dick

Good read so far. Blade Runner is based on it.

I leave for a trip to Puerto Rico in a few days... would you recommend picking it up for an "airport" read?

Oh yes.

My brother had it read in a few hours, so it's perfect for an 'airport read'. It's also different enough from Blade Runner to keep it fresh if you've already seen the movie. You definitely should.

Duly noted. I was debating between that and Soon I Will Be Invincible, but was leaning towards "Electric Sheep" anyways, as I feel I haven't read as much of Dick's work as I should have.

China Miéville's "The Scar". Very special setting, there is a lot of buildup, but it takes up momentum in the last third and there's almost too much to fully grasp (although that's also a stylistic device), one little surprise after the next, and incredible scenes. But it might not be to everyone's liking.

I've been reading Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. Not his best work, but still a good fantasy story.

I'm currently struggling through Eclipse by Stephenie (misspelled) Meyer. Not because I enjoy reading the anti-feminist piece of crap (and also chagrin is a noun), but because I have to read it so I can see the movie when it comes out and mock it relentlessly. Yay, riffing!
