Have you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Love that book.

androids is a excellent read, very different to blade runner, butr no in a bad way. loads of dicks short stories can be found online for free in the public domain. all worth a read

At the moment i'm reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. It's sci-fi and it's pretty awesome so far

Damn! I was ninja'd! Still, I agree that it's a great book.

Reading "Ghostmaker" by Dan Abnett. Second book of Gaunts Ghosts series. I bought the omnibus "The Founding" as well.

I discovered The Adventures of Marco Polo gathering dust behind my dresser. It's something to occupy a bit of time when I have absolutely nothing else to do be doing, but mostly it's now just gathering dust in my backpack.

 

[SeeIn2D]

Currently the book I'm reading constantly is called Extra Lives: Why Video Games Matter. Obviously I recommend this book to anyone but especially anyone on this website. I'm also reading Dante's Inferno and The Road on and off.

Red Mafiya - by some... dude with a face? Non-Fiction

It is a short history of the Russian Mob in the United States. The author received a death threat from the most feared Russian mobster just for writing it. Pretty easy but brutal and even spooky read. Dudes are nuckin futs.

Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen

I saw the movie and liked it, and I'd been told the book is even better. So, it made me curious to read it. And it's really good so far!

Two books:
"Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy" by John LeCarre. I loved the movie, so I decided to give the book a spin, knowing that 9 times out of 10 the book is better. I'm 6 chapters in (which sounds like a lot, but it isn't) and I'm surprised how radically different from the movie it is.
+
"Fidel Castro - My Life" with Ignacio Ramonet. It's not really an biography, more like one long interview with Castro. It's clever because their's no bias from any formal author and Castro can't exactly spin everything in his favor. It's a pretty interesting read.

 

[i love headcrabs]

right now im reading private peaceful in my class

 

[V TheSystem V]

A Storm of Swords Part 1, Book 3 in George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. It's already started a lot better than A Clash of Kings, that book took about 300 pages to go anywhere! Was still good though.

 

[AceTrilby]

World War Z, and before that 1984.
Both excellent books, but I needed a change of pace.

Private Peaceful is also a brilliant book, i love headcrabs.

 

[baconsarnie]

Currently struggling through 'The Silmarillion' by Tolkein.
Interesting but a horrible to read in large chunks.

 

[BristolBerserker]

1000 years of annoying the french by Stephen Clarke. Also Punisher comics.

 

[TheProfesser]

The Wastelands, Part 3 in Stephen Kings 'Dark Tower' series. Great book, Great author, Great series.

 

[Mr Somewhere]

Just finished Lord Dunsany's Time and the Gods, a masterwork with some nice atheistic subtleties, that and he has a wonderful humane touch that I've never seen emulated.

 

[Dalek Caan]

Halo Evolutions 1 and 2 and Orcs by Stan Nichols. While Halo books are always awesome Orcs is probably my favorite book I have.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Clash of Kings by G.R.R.Martin
So long and thanks for all the by Douglas Adams (part four out of the trilogy of five books)

Spoiler

Faust by Johann Wolfgang Goethe
Trioblóid by Colmán Ó Drisceoil

when i finished one out of these i will continue with either Snuff or I shall wear Midnight both by Terry Pratchett.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

I read about half of 'The Magician' last year then got bored, not of the book but reading in general and haven't read anything since.
