Thread: What are you reading?

I've just finished Naughts and Crosses - Malorie Blackman (4 stars) and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time of which I have forgotten the author (also 4 stars)

And now I am trying to read Catch-22 but I'ts rather grown up for me hehe, as in, the writing style etc... i'm only 14

I am rereading Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden as inspiration for a drawn-out urban conflict scene I am in the middle of writing.

Just finished Gerald's Game by Stephen King. Just started From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz.

Upcoming books:
I have not the slightest idea, whatever sounds most interesting when I go to the bookstore. [/i]

Slowly chuging along through Blindness by Jose Saramago and flying through Life, The Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams.

So Long and Thanks For All The Fish by Douglas Adams and Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides are queued up.

I'm reading Needful Things by Stephen King because there simply isn't anything else to read.

I need to go book shopping.. Too bad the nearest big bookstore is half an hour away.

I am currently reading:

T.C. Boyle Short Stories (a collection)
Kurt Vonnegut Short Stories (a collection)
Annie Proulx - The Shipping News

I've kind of been on a short story kick lately...don't know why. Sometimes I just get in the mood for some bite sized reading.

PL

I read this page and I realised I haven't heard of any of these writers.
(ok, I admit I heard of a couple of them but taht's it)

Oh, well. I'll stick to the classics. My current read :"The Demons" by Dostoievsky. I wonder why I haven't read it before.

Now its Hard Times by Dickens
Treausure Island again by Stevenson
and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain.

Heard of those authors

I just started War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells today.

After that -- I've no idea yet; possibly Moby Dick.

Im reading a dangerous fortune by ken follet

At the moment I'm reading The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley - I'm studying up on my Arthurian Legend. I love how this book isn't told from the point of view of Merlin or Arthur, that the story is seen through the eyes of Morgaine (Morgan le Fay).

I just finished reading "The guns of Avalon" by Zalezny and now I'll start Deadhouse Gates by Erikson.

Well, I'm still reading From the Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz. I haven't been able to read as much lately. But after I finish that I will probably read, All quiet on the Western Front.

Catch-22 is great! Major Major Major Major. I wrote a paper on it in high school English.
