What are you reading right now?

I recently started One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest again and I'm searching high and low for another copy of Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test since my copy was misplaced long ago.

 

Through Violet Eyes by stephen woodworth...I am just starting it.

 

My english teacher has made me read "Lord of the flies", so I'm reading that and "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

 

"Empire Falls" by Richard Russo
"Amsterdam" Iam McEwan
"The Fixer" Bernard malamud
"The Aleph and Other Stories" Jorge Luis Borges - my favorite writer
"The Art of War" Sun-tzu

 

* The Stranger - L'egarre: It's been kind of bland, not really my thing but it's more about a man who makes a pointless murder and how he reacts to life. Mainly he doesn't give a flying fuck.

*Getting Over It - ?: I found it in a friends house. Mainly about a British woman loosing her father and going through dramatic relationships. I just love the type of language used.

I recommend anything by Vonnegut though.

The Douglas Adams series.

and absolutely positively "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" it has everything in it and is delightfully entertaining and really hard to put down even being around 600 or 700 pages. Also "Catch 22", I expected it to be all about war but then it ended up being all about war and horny men.

 

usually i don't read more than two or three books at a time, but at the moment i'm reading five:

Jesse James, My Father by Jesse James Jr.

The House Of The Scorpion by Nancy Farmer (re-reading)

Skyscraper-Engler by Tove Nilsen (that's in Norwegian)

Lord Grizzly by Frederick Manfred (not really my choice)

My Autobiography by Charles Chaplin

 

I am reading Days of war, nights of love. by clive barker from the abarat series...its good i really like it.

i am always reading a kerouac or a burroughs book...always

a new vonnugut every other week.

and thats about it for the moment, i have my normal reads and then my oh this looks good books like the abarat.

 

oh man, i tend to read a bunch of books at a time because i get bored just reading one. right now im reading
1) "interview with the vampire" anne rice
2)"the sundog" stephen king
3)"god's debris" scott adams
4) "the davinci code" dont know
5)"killing science" dan bern
6)"aspects of the present" margarate mead
7)"atlas shrugged" ayn rand

...i pretty much just started reading fiction a couple weeks ago--i always thought it was useless but finally i realized that just because a story is not true doesnt mean you cant learn something from it....
---+peace+---

 

I'm reading Small Places, Large Issues, by Thomas Hylland Eriksen. It's an introduction to social and cultural anthropology. It's one of those manymanymany books I have to read for uni lectures and seminars. Very interesting though (I should hope so coz that's what I'm studying )

 

Just in the past two months I've read:
Gilgamesh
Medea
Beowulf
and
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. (I'm taking a World lit. class. I have read snippets of other works as well.)

 

Gilles Vigneault-Gros Pierre

he's a real beuatiful man

 

oh, READING, haha, I wrote what I was listening to, hahaha

uh, right now making my way through Born To Win-Woody Guthrie

 

The Talisman, By Stephen King and Peter Straub

 

the art of happiness by the dalai lama

 

Just finished "The five people you meet in heaven" by Mitch Albom. So brilliant, check it out!

 

I am reading "MY Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. It's pretty good, goes through what I learned in Anthropology 101. ( but I think my Anthropology teacher may have been influenced by Quinn.) If anyone gets a chance to read great anthropology books by Margaret Mead or Marvin Harris and like authors, I would highly suggest it

 

I've been reading Neil Young's bio for the fourth time now, Tommyknockers by Stephen King... I'm also skipping around a few of Tim Robbins books and it has left me wondering if he was doing some heavy psychedelics while writing those books.

I recently completed Animal Farm by George Orwell and Chesapeake by James Michener... oh, and I'm reading some of Patricia Cornwell's books...

I tend to read a bunch at one time and end up having all good books and I read so much out of different books, I lose track and end up fading and start slowing down on reading them....

 

Just started reading "Vita Brevis" by Jostein Gaarder.

 

Happiness Paradox
by Ziyad Marar

 

To Kill a Mockingbird (believe it or not, for the first time)
The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan
Reality Therapy by William Glasser

I read a bunch of books when I was on vacation a few weeks ago in BC at my sister's house. Drowning Ruth was pretty good, as was A Lesson Before Dying. Interesting, both of them.
