What are you reading/What should I read?

[Slowmotionsuicide]

A Great and Terrible Beauty - Its amazing, there's three in the series which I haven't read yet. But I love books set about 100 years ago , and this is a fine, fine example

[Kitz]

Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway.

[sci-fi lullaby]

Reading: one hundred years of solitude
I'm a little confuse, all the names of this book are so similar, that drives me crazy

[FireHotStickies]

I haven't read in ages ! I would love to but every time I pick up a book, I seem to get bored so easily . I need to find a book that will hold my interest more than 20 mins .

I'm currently reading 'Sputnik Sweetheart' by Haruki Murakami and it is amazing. Draws you in right from the start and you can't put it down.

Murakami is so good! I'm reading 'South of the Border, West of the Sun' and I'm loving it! Next one will be 'Kafka on the shore', some of my friends told me that after reading this, they were afraid never to be able to find a book that is more beautiful... My expectations are extremely high now! 'Sputnik Sweetheart' is on my list as well.

I hate to admit I'm one of those people who are reading at least 3 different books at the same time.
I was halfway into reading 'The Catcher in the Rye' when JD Salinger passed away, which was incredibly spooky, still haven't finished it though.
I'm also reading a book called 'Never Push when it says Pull'. It's a bible for clumsy people like me! Not very high standard, but entertaining.

I had the same problem with Un long dimanche de fiançailles (aka A Very Long Engagement) by Sebastien Japrisot. There were so many people, so many names that I turned one page and forgot whom I was currently actually reading about. It was a bit irritating really. But the book was very good, so...

Reading: The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer.

I rarely read, but I got inspired by this thread so I went to by myself some books - and now I feel great! Don't know when I actually will have time to read them, but hopefully soon

[Laura]

^go read now!

I haven't had a proper intense reading day in ages but I'm slowly reading Marian Keyes' Anybody Out There (I think have actually read all of her books Ö_Ö she is just very addictive, I'd say. And easily available from charity shops.ha )
And I have been reading Tom Regan's The Case for Animal Rights, it is really REALLY good but as I have been on the diet of chick lit and ha-ha books a serious philosophy book takes extra concentration and is not really tube/bus/train material.
But I'd still recommend it to absolutely any- and everyone.

James Rollins - Sandstorm

[Rent_Boy]

A book about drugs and their story thrugh the years very interesting

[Blue American]

I am always reading 2 books, 1 fiction, which is currently:

and one non-fiction:

however, as a result of an email from someone whose judgement I highly value
I am cutting back my leisure reading as of today and putting that time into reading all my own stuff
and eventually get back to real writing again
once a screenwriter, always a screenwriter, I wish not being a successful one would make it go away, but it does not...

[xxjennydxx]

I am currently reading:
The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins &
Man and Boy - Tony Parsons. (read it about 10 times, I loooooooove it)

[Blue American]

for the record, in RL, I usually cannot be bothered with people who do not read for too long

[Angel]

I'm reading 20th century ghosts by Joe Hill (son of Steven King) but so far I am not so entertained. Thought Heart Shaped Box was much much better.

[Duck]

Just finished "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, shall now proceed to do a Swedish book

[Ditty]

Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Jennifer Rardin...unlike the majority of the vampire novels I have read, this one is good and the vampires do vampire-y things.

[Duck]

Ordered seven books on animals and vegans and meat from the library just now, so that's what I'll be reading

[zee]

Just finished Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

And now I'm just about to start reading The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.

[MrsFollolko]

I just finished "The chemistry of death" by Simon Beckett..and I recommend it!

[missile]

I just started reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
