What are you reading right now? Vol II

Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess
GREAT book so far
had the funniest joke I think I've ever read in a book, noone seems to get it but me though =P

 

The post above me.

 

I am reading Quo vadis.

 

Interpersonal Diagnosis of Personality by Dr.Timothy Leary.

 

1984 by George Orwell
Yes, I'm probably one of 2 people that haven't read it yet on this site, oh well.

 

Mutual Aid by Kropotkin

Just read Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris yesterday, it was great.

 

I have a bad habit of being in several books at a time.
I am reading The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer
and rereading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
and reading a fabulous book about the spiritual significance of dreams
(no title of anything, it was used)
and rereading Alice in Wonderland.

And I really want to read some Wolfe or Leary,
but my library is full of pigs.
Bah.

 

I haven't been doing much reading lately, since I hate to be interrupted while reading and newborn babies have no regard for such social nuances.


I have the last book in the Harry Potter series waiting for me, as well as Dean Koontz's most recent release.

 

I must be the other. I cracked the cover and read the introduction (twice I believe) but have always been distracted away from it.

 

The Call of the Wild by Jack London
Walden by Henry David Thoreau
A Walk Into the Woods by Ola Zikomo
A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants by Lee Allen Peterson
Feasting Free on Wild Edibles by Bradford Angier

 

I'm reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

 

Just started Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes.

It's fun and extremely interesting.

 

Hide and Seek by someone or other.

 

Queen of the Damned - Ann Rice (of course)

 

Invisible Monster-chuck palahniuk
Notes from Underground-fyodor dostoevsky

 

Going to attempt 1984 by George Orwell. Started it a while back and put it down for some reason. Also, I want to start the new Stephen King book; forgot what it's called.

 

Love, etc. by Julian Barnes - it's very good. A fun light read, and extremely insightful.

 

I just finished Flaubert's Parrot by the same author. It was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be looking for more by him.

I'm now reading 'Stones from the River' by Ursula Hegi. It's a very readable story of a midget girl's life in Germany during the years leading up to, and during, the second world war. The author does a great job of describing ordinary people's lives in a small village and making it interesting and engrossing.

Worth reading.

 

i'm on irving stone's the agony and the extasy about michelangelo, I'm almost done with it, a great book.

 

Wow, I just read 'The kite Runner', by Khaled Hosseini, in about a day and a half. It kep me up ill 3am last night, and I finished i today. It's a wonderful story, nothing life changing, but a great tale nonetheless. Set in Afghanistan, it follows the lives of two friends from opposite social and religious backgrounds. The author really shows the humanity and inhumanity of man. No punches pulled. It's quite simple, easy to read and made me well up and shed a tear on a number of occasions.
