Poll: What's that book you're reading?

[Horticulture]

I'm about halfway through the "Illuminatus" trilogy. It's like the love child of Hitchhiker's Guide and the da Vinci Code.

Recommended.

Doctor Who, of course. Waiting for the new Drizzt book to come out. Meanwhile, need to reread LotR again for my yearly Tolkien fix.

Across the Wall - Garth Nix, the last part to his epic old kingdom series but I'v taken a break at a stop point on that so I can read Watchmen, I'm enjoying it so far but its sutch a good grip I have to stop for a while after every chapter cause my eyes hurt.

Having finally obtained a copy of Hitch Hiker's, I'm chewing through that. When I'm done there, onto more Wheel of Time

Canticle for Liebowitz, Watchmen, and Haunted by Chuck Pahluniak.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

I was reading "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco. Really interesting book, with a good entertaining value, as well as many deeper layers if you (know where to) look for it.

I'm presently re-reading Good Omens by Terry Pratchett.

If you've never read any Discworld or Terry Pratchett, then you need to. ASAP.

Pronto, chop chop! No dilly-dallying.

Darwin's Black Box - a biochemical challenge to the root of the theory of incrimental molecular changes causing an organism to transform into an altogether different organism (aka Darwinian Evolution)
He poses some phenominal questions I had never even thought of, I was inspired by my cousin who is an Athiest and a Bacteriologist to investigate the 5 layers of the theory of evolution as there isn't enough evidence for it on a molecular level.

The book is brilliantly written if nothing else

Re-reading George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four for an English assignment. In reality, it was just an excuse to read the novel again... Orwell is a doubleplusgood writer.

It's not porn...I swearS.


Actually people call it Anna Karenina. I started reading it and then got halfway through it and then put it down, and then for no reason read The Road, Atonement, Watchmen, The Walking Dead, and are just barely picking it up again.

That's on my shelf. I'm waiting for Laurie R. King's newest Russell novel. Just finished Todd McCaffery's book. Not as good as mom's but ok. Another Dresden hopefully soon... It's kinda dead for books for me right now. Been reading Fan Fiction for my fix.

Though I should pick up ithe M.Y.T.H. series again...Or maybe go old school and Read Alice. I havethe compete Oz books, there's that. Wheel of time is too depressing without an ending...There's the Light novels of FMP! or Banner of the stars...Sandman...Tad Williams, maybe? Asimove? Cherryh's Fortress series? ElfQuest?

I have two thousand books and I have read them all...you'd think I have plenty to read...

I was also reading the watchmen graphic novel, when my mum took it away from me 'cos it was too violent.
