Your current book...

[Vryyk]

Just wondering what all the Escapists are currently reading... pretty simple right?

So, what book are you currently reading? Is it good? Would you suggest it?

For me, I'm reading "Red Harvest" by Joe Schreiber...

3 words... Star Wars Zombies...

I suggest it!

Is that the sequel to Death Troopers? I haven't gotten my hands on that one yet...

OT: Re-reading the Once and Future King for the first time since HS. Great book, I recommend reading it if only to see T.H. White's take on Merlin.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

Almost at the end now,a very enjoyable read.

I recommend it.

I'm currently reading 3 books.
Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones
The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett
and Stormfront by Jim Butcher

 

[Silent observer]

"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat"

It's basically a collection of different stories of patients with neurological disorders, which is a lot more interesting than it sounds. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone, particularly anyone who wants to go into the medical field in the future.

 

[Daniel Laeben-Rosen]

Currently I'm just reading one book.
Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher. Damn good stuff... I love The Dresden Files-series.

 

[The_Fezz]

Mogworld by Yahtzee Crowshaw.

It's making me look back at my Oblivion days and weep openly over lost time.

"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat"

I always loan this book to people and never get it back. Tragedy!

Oxford Compendium of American short Stories. I have to be careful because I'll stay up all night reading if I get a regular novel and then I'll be tired at work.

Uhm..also I love the story "Blood-Burning Moon" by Jean Toomer. Beautiful, poetic...tragic.

 

[Cheesebob]

Lolita.

Damn, just damn.

That is a book that everyone has to read, even if you find it a struggle about 3/4s of the way through. Absolutly fantastic.

 

[Demonicdan]

Lord of the Rings: the fellowship of the ring.

 

[Flamezdudes]

-The Devil's Graveyard by Anonymous
-John Dies At The End by David Wong
-Harbour by John Ajvinde Lindqvist

Those ones are what i'm currently reading. Fun fact: my copy of Harbour is first edition and signed by the author! Squeee.

But seriously, i love Lindqvist's stuff. Handling the Undead was so very sad and touching. It really made you think on many levels, about ethics, about rights, morality, love, mortality and loss.

Ah yes, I finished Harbour recently last week. Definatly a great book, I love Lindqvist. However I haven't read Handling The Undead yet but intend to soon.

I'm currently reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis as my R.E. teacher recommended me it. Some bits are frustrating to read as i'm an Agnostic Atheist but overall its an interesting read and helps me to understand Christianity more.

 

[Bloodstain]

"Haben oder Sein" ("To Have or to Be?") by Erich Fromm. Very interesting.

 

[Alex Cowan]

"A Confederacy of Dunces" one of my all-time favorite books, look it up you wont be disappointed.

You, sir, have fine taste indeed.

Given that I have way too much work due I'm currently reading a biography of Giuseppe Verdi for research purposes. Fun times...

 

[Blitzwarp]

I'm reading Jo Nesbø's "The Redbreast" on my Kindle, and Judith Flanders's "The Invention of Murder: How the Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime" in hardback. I recently read Nesbø's "The Snowman" (his latest-but-one) and was utterly enthralled; but with "The Redbreast" I have no idea where it's going. Harry Hole is as awesome as ever though. And Flanders's book is fascinating. She has a formal yet witty style which makes absorbing the facts the book throws at you really simple.

On a recent trip to USA , I buyed almost all the Halo books. I red First Trike and now Im reading Contact Harvest. If you are a fan of Halo , they are pretty good.

Also Im reading Naruto and Lucky Star.

I like to read.

 

[godevit]

the master and margarita.

 

[Elonas]

Left hand of God by Paul Hoffman, and Captain's Fury by Jim Butcher.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

I'm reading The Prince by Machiavelli. I'm going to be moving on to The Republic by Plato, The Communist Manifesto by Engels and Marx or 1984 by Orwell.

 

[endisforever]

Just finished reading another great Grahame Joyce book. Stormwatcher. Although obviously no where as good as the Tooth Fairy!

 

[Taldeer]

Wizard and Glass, the fourth book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. Everyone I know who has read the entire saga told me it's the worst of the bunch, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.

 

[The_Jott]

Not reading anything currently, but I just finished the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. I put down the third book after finishing it and immediately wanted to pick it up again and start reading it all over again.

That's a recommendation if you can't tell.

Yeah i just finished the Night Angel Trilogy and really enjoyed, i picked up the final book on tuesday and finished it on thursday night i was hooked.

Ive just started reading The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie and it seems pretty good but im only about 50 pages in so i have a long way to go before i will have a firm opinion on it.
