What are you currently reading?

Matt Cardle's Autobiography.

 

I'm currently reading "God in the Equation" by Powell.

It's alright I guess. I haven't read a Physics/Cosmology book in a long time so it's ok. I would read two of them in a row.

Since I'm almost done I'll be looking for another book to read soon. I have no idea what I plan on reading next. It might just be another Asimov book. Who know s

 

Currently reading Private London - James Patterson's newest book.

 

Re-reading piles of my underground comics from the 60's and 70's...great foolish fun for the summertime.

 

Hello,

that sounds like a lot of fun. Unfortunately my old comics have disappeared long ago. Some of them would make me a fscking rich man today . Mickey Mouse and friends might live for ever, but Yps (you might even don't know it if you live in the centre of Europe) and Sturmtruppen (an Italian anti war comic) are out of print for many years now.

Hello,

currently I'm (re)reading a few books. One books is about the society in western Germany and in the GDR in the sixities and how that incluences what we are today. The next book is
The Cloudspotter's Guide, written by Pretor-Pinney. A great book about... clouds . And finally I have Lisa Randell's Warped Passages on my desk. It might be a little bit old, but I feel like I should have read it.

Regards
Gyro

 

It is indeed fun and no, I'm not familiar with the ones you mentioned but wish I knew more about them. A lot of the American underground comics are available as reprints or at least they were a few years ago. Some of my comics are from "the day" and they look it...read to death almost, loose covers, taped up, seed holes here and there and well treasured by me. A collector would turn his nose up cause these things are ragged.

 

Don Quixote by Cervantes, 900 odd pages but surprisingly funny, got to around the 250 page mark, will see it through even if it's getting a tad same-ish

 

I haven't finished Don Quixote either.

Just finished:

To have and have not - Hemmingway - awesome suggest everyone reads it.

God Hates Us All - Hank Moody (not a real author but listed under him) probably the most fun I had reading a book since treasure island as a kid. It's light, fast, cinematic, and reminds me of a good drunken vacation.

I just started Crazy Cock - Henry Miller - he's a good writer, but a lot of his claim to fame was for being so honest, and as of yet, I haven't seen shocking details I'm not used to. I haven't gotten to far into the book yet tho, so maybe it will come. He has brilliant analogies though.

My fav - "the city nieghbor hood was sprawled out like a drunk whore"

 

Worst Case - James Patterson.
By far, my favourite modern author.

 

1. Primer on Drug Action (a graduate level, receptor-theory-based pharmacology text)
2. Clinical Pharmacology (an undergrad level basic pharmacology text)
3. Psychopharmacology (a really basic, but fun to read - it has pictures- textbook)
4. Advances in Pseudo-Riemannian Geometry (graduate math text)
5. Hitch 22 - Christopher Hitchens (my mom bought it for me as a gift- I like Hitchens' writing style and many of his ideas).


All, but (5) are library books.

 

1984

 

"Assembling my Father" by Anna Cypra-Oliver.

Unbelievable book that I highly recommend to anyone with an interest in culture and family

 

The Great Gatsby.

I love the narration, read half of the first chapter in the back stacks at the library.

 

The 6th Target by James Patterson.

 

The harvard psychedelic club

 

hate books

 

This has come to be quite a popular thread.Since i posted this i've read "Searching for the sound" by Phil Lesh and i'm currently reading "White house diaries" by Jimmy Carter and "The Beatles: The biography" by Bob Spitz.

 

Right now I'm reading "The Bourne Supremacy" by Robert Ludlum.

I know it was a movie, and I think Matt Damon played Bourne; but, this is a harder read than I anticipated. I am interested in Oriental things/culture and this book is full of that...and much more.

 

It's evident from some of your posts :2thumbsup:


So... why ya in this thread?
