The Zero by Jess Walter

raymondstary

I am. Used to follow conspiracies and this is far better than any of the stuff I read that propped itself up as legitimate. Funny, too, though I sometimes have a delayed laugh as my mind catches up to Eco's, which is full of far deeper valleys.

Charmed to Death by Shirley Damsgaard (for the second time). Quirky fun mystery...

I am reading Secret Windows by Stephen King

Nouveau Prole

Stewart

I'm reading Darkmans by Nicola Barker. It's a whopper at 838 pages and, since it's in hardback, bloody heavy.

I just finished up 'South Beach Chicas Catch Their Man' by Caridad Pineiro for a review. (Not bad.)

Now it's on to 'Only Moments' by Nicholas Oliva for another review.

On the side, as part of the chapter-by-chapter discussions I'm holding on my side, I'm slowly reading 'Bird by Bird' by Anne Lamott.

I'm reading A. Pushkin's "The Queen of Spades" and a collection of short stories by A. Moravia presently.

Athlynne

"The Brothers Karamazov" by Doestoyevsky, though I probably spelled that wrong. I'm enjoying it, though half the time I'm muttering to myself, "Why is everyone being so dramatic, every moment?"

TWariner

I usually have a few books going at the same time. Right now I'm reading "Character & Viewpoint" by Orson Scott Card, "Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott, "The Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien, the book that came with the Aperture software I bought, and "1,000 Places to See in the US and Canada Before You Die" by Schultz, plus a bunch of random other things I read all day long.

Luzici

I'm reading I. Bunin's "The Gentleman from San Francisco" and H. Arendt's "The Human Condition (vita activa)" at the moment.

Azram

I'm currently reading Asimov's ''The Gods Themselves''. I'm halfway there and it's brilliant.

I'm reading The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett and I hate it.

It started out fairly amusing, but come on. It's like he writes down every random thing that pops into his head. Get to the plot already.

Also the premise is lifted from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Edit:
I should qualify that. He's clearly a good writer, but this book is mostly filler.
