The Girl who played with fire. Steig Larsen first book was good (the girl with the dragon tatoo) if very detail oriented. I hear each book is a different type of crime novel. The movie was very good and close too the book with a few minor changes and it is subtitled.

[Lukeje]

Ermm... Love in the Time of Cholera, Dynamic Nuclear Orientation, and Lie Groups: An Introduction Through Linear Groups.

Take a guess at which ones are for work and which one is for pleasure.

The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley.

 

[SirDeadly]

I am reading Adam Gilchrist True Colours at the moment and I'm also half way through Rangers Apprentice The Burning Bridge for about the 5th time.

I'm reading Lord of Chaos, the sixth book in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I've loved the series so far, but I've heard that this is where the books become a bit of a drag. I'm only a few chapters in, so I have yet to see for myself, but regardless I will keep reading because the series is so damn good!

There certainly is a void in the plot in the later half of the series, and Forsaken coming back to life is fucking bullshit. But these last three books have been pretty epic, new author and all. Lord of Chaos does have one of the best battles of the series though.
For instance...

Spoiler

Mat finally rescuing Moraine, Perrin crafting a Power-wrought hammer, Rand making a complete switch from emo-***** to Robot-Jesus channeling the True Power...

I read the 13th book in one sitting (With bathroom breaks)
Currently reading Excession by Iain M. Banks. Pretty good so far, love the humor and tongue-in-cheek bits strewn throughout it.

 

[Warchiefwill]

1984 by George Orwell. O_O Big Bro He's watching u know. Anyway I'm off to write about sexual fantasies about my supposedly dead wife in a diary of mine. (cookie for reference)

 

[for example john]

"How to Effectively Troll" by Ayn Rand

 

[silver wolf009]

The Iliad, although I just ordered Metro 2033 from Barns and Noble so I will proably drop it in the near future, but in the mean time I am enjoying seeing Aprodite getting her hand cut off, and the amount of spear head shots in this book is crazy.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Nemesis of the Horus Heresy series.

Oh I finished that awhile back, what do you think of it so far?

Right now I'm halfway through the "Eisenhorn Omnibus" myself and it's awesome.

I am currently 30 pages through, and it has yet to pick up. This is acceptable.

Love in the Time of Cholera, you're obviously a Spanish Literature professor who reads physics and math textbooks in their spare time. For some reason that actually makes a bit of fridge logic for a bit. Of course people who have to read literature for work read textbooks for fun. Doi.

 

[MikeOfThunder]

Martin Luther King autobiography

 

[natster43]

Nothing right now. The last two things I did read were The Killing Joke which was good, and Anthem by Ayn Rand, which was mediocre at best. I need to start reading Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The Path of Daggers in my re-reading of Jordan's Wheel of Time.

Hey! I'm reading Lord Of Chaos in my re-reading of The Wheel Of Time! By far my favorite book series.

I'm reading Lord of Chaos, the sixth book in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I've loved the series so far, but I've heard that this is where the books become a bit of a drag. I'm only a few chapters in, so I have yet to see for myself, but regardless I will keep reading because the series is so damn good!

Don't listen to those people! Some of the coolest things in the series are yet to come. Things that will blow you away.

Listen to the man! Although I will admit in the middle of the series there is WAY too much faffing about. I usually like political intrigue but I found a lot of it less than intriguing. I've kept with the series and I'm currently reading the most recent of the Wheel of Time Series: Towers of Midnight. I'm a chapter in but I liked what the new author did with the last book and thus far it seems like more of the same. My only problem is that there is SO MUCH going on and I read some of the books so long ago (started in 2006)that it's hard to keep track of who's who and who's doing what. The first chapter of this book in from the perspective of a very minor character from the very first book who existed in the story for maybe a page or two before being completely forgotten until now. But I'd still say Wheel of Time is a worthwhile read.

 

[hopeneverdies]

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton for AP English. It's a decent book, but there are so many times that I see myself reflected in Ethan, that it can be unsettling.

At least it wasn't something extremely long like The Grapes of Wrath. Or else I probably wouldn't be on here because we have a test first day back from break. Which is Monday.

[Digitman]

The Illiad, the physics of star trek, and hyperspace

 

[Spawny0908]

I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula at the moment. It was free on the Kindle store so I thought 'why not' and it is actually rather good.

I got bored with it...will pick it up again but I can't read it for long periods of time

OT: "John Dies at the End" by David Wong. Funny as hell and really interesting!
