What are you reading?

[arienette]

Okay, so we have the what are you listening to thread, and I just started reading more, since I had stopped for a while, not having the patience to just sit down and devour a book.

So what are you reading now?

Cats Eye by Margaret Atwood

Consider Phlebas
Ian M Rankin

Again. I get so involved with this book.

 

[Aurora Black]

A handful of oldie-but-goodie romance novels.

Night Shift-- Stephen King

 

[Guest]

I got a bunch of Andrew Neiderman books (The Devil's Advocate, Angel of Mercy, In Double Jeopardy, Surrogate Child, After Life, The Maddening...) at my favorite secondhand bookstore. I can spend hours in that place hunting through the stacks all hopped up and shaking on venti vanilla lattes.

 

[Halo_n_horns]

Witching Hour by Anne Rice

 

[rgraham666]

Vortex by Larry Bond.

I like techno-thrillers.

Everyman by Philip Roth. But I'm not recommending it. It stinks. I'm going to finish it, dammit.

Before that, I read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, by Jonathan Poer. Fabulous.

Reading two books right now. The first is "Seeds of Time" by Kay Kenyon. Not bad but nothing to go into shock over. (Sci-Fi)

The second is the Koran. I haven't read this in something like ten years so I'm finding it interesting, especially with what is going on in the Middle East right now.

I have on the desk another of the books by William Gibson. When I am done with both of the above I will sit back and enjoy his writing.

"Alec Baldwin Doesn't Love Me ... and Other Tails of My Queer Life." - Ford

Love it. Recommended. Highly.

Venti... *sigh* Damn Starbucks.

Rereading "Seduced By Moonlight" by Laurel K...I promised my muse I would find a way to pick up the fourth one if she let me actually finish my story so I'm reading through the other three again as a delay tactic until I can afford the hardcover price

 

[Antfarmer77]

On Writing by Stephan King.

 

[Just-Legal]

Consider Phlebas
Ian M Rankin

Again. I get so involved with this book.

Not to be pedantic or anything but I thought Iain M Banks wrote that book...

Consider Phlebas
Ian M Rankin

Again. I get so involved with this book.

I can also recommend the same title by Iain M. Banks *giggle*
Try Banks's - The Algebraist - equally spellbinding.

Current read: A Wild Sheep Chase - Haruki Murakami

Just finished 'On Beauty' by Zadie Smith, stunning female perspective on males, not for the faint hearted, she tells me things about my gender that I never knew.

 

[Alex De Kok]

Bedside reading - 'A Game of Thrones', George R R Martin. I like his style, but find the stories overwhelming - too much in one book, maybe. I thought I was wordy but he makes me look terse!

Downstairs reading - currently 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' (second reading).

I'll probably pick up C J Cherryh's 'The Paladin' next and read it yet again. Oh, and every now and then I'll pick up King's 'On Writing'.

[EmeraldKitten]

'The Right Hand of Evil' ~ John Saul

As soon as I finish that, I'm going to re-read 'Angels & Demons' ~ Dan Brown.
(Maybe even 'The Da Vinci Code' again. Haven't decided. )

Has anyone ever read 'House of Leaves' ~ Mark Z. Danielewski?

 

[oggbashan]

Paul Gallico - Mrs Harris MP

Asimov - Bicentennial Man

Marlowe's plays

Ngaio Marsh - A Man lay dead

Wordsworth Dictionary of Classical and Literary Allusion

Just finished Re-reading the Belgariad, Mallorean, Belgarath, and Polgara by David and Leigh Eddings. I'll probably pick up Raymond E. Feist again next, starting from Magician. That way, I'll have just finished the last book in perfect time to import the new one from the U.K. when it comes out Sept. 04

I haven't purchased a Feist novel in the U.S. since Rage of a Demon King, since they come out six months to a year earlier in the U.K. Three cheers for Amazon!

 

[Just-Legal]

I'm re-reading my Pratchett collection in order of.. well. Whenever I pick one up *grins* My fiance is reading Pratchett too.

 

[AchtungNight]

Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. The Book of the Dead.

 

[SEVERUSMAX]

Fortune's Favorites by Colleen McCullough. Almost done. Fascinating historical novel about ancient Rome, particularly Sulla, Crassus, Pompey, Sertorius, and Caesar. I recommend it. Read it before, but rereading can be fun too.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I'm re-reading my Pratchett collection in order of.. well. Whenever I pick one up *grins* My fiance is reading Pratchett too.

Have you read Hat Full of Sky? I can't recall the other one at the moment. Some people skip the two because they are geared toward middle schoolers but I loved them.

I am re-reading Blue Highways by William Least Heat Moon. "Beware thoughts that come in the night. They aren't turned properly; they come in askew, free of sense and restriction, deriving from the most remote of sources." But that's always been when I do my best writing.
