Reading the Steven Erikson "malazan" book series. Slow start but getting unbelievably delicious now. If you are into fantasy literature then I would recommend this.

Just got the 4 Dexter books (the ones the TV show is based on), will read them after Trainspotting, but I haven;t been reading much at all so that might be a while.

Am currently in 6th year and just finished reading
Angela's Ashes- Frank McCourt

)

I'm currently reading Anna Karenina by Tolstoy and am hoping to read Pride and Prejudice (again!) after that, then Sense and Sensibility. Also hoping to get my The Other Boleyn Girl back, i miss that book!

That's such a good book.

I've just started Walden by Thoreau, supposedly it's a brilliant book. We shall see.

CiaraBelle · 19-09-2009 10:11pm

Just finished The Book Thief, absolutely brilliant, would recommend it to everyone

I'm reading Julie and Julia.

KnifeWRENCH · 22-09-2009 11:43am

Finished Stepehn Fry's The Liar last night. Really liked it up until the final few chapters, where it all went a bit too strange!

Tonight I'm gonna start Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

I've seen that on sale recently, and I'm really tempted to get it!

D4RK ONION · 22-09-2009 5:31pm

The main problem with that book is that it's 60% Pride and Prejudice, so you still have to read all that tripe.

Insect Overlord · 22-09-2009 5:39pm

Indeed. But, as you know yourself, it'll be December before I have a chance to read regularly again...

D4RK ONION · 22-09-2009 6:39pm

UGH, don't flipping remind me... us... whatever.

skaterboy · 22-09-2009 9:54pm

I'm 13 in two weeks, so....

I'm currently reading: Mates, Dates and Inflatable Bras, Really good:D
Also A Darren Shan Book :P

Jackobyte · 02-10-2009 10:33pm

In 3rd year. Just finished The Stone Monkey by Jeffery Deaver. Now starting Double Cross by Malorie Blackman. Its part of the Noughts & Crosses series which I'd recommend to anyone, it really makes you think about racism and inequality.

Green Hornet · 02-10-2009 10:39pm

Currently reading Conn Iggulden's "Emporer" series.

Historical fiction related to Julius Caesar. Just started the third book in the series (The Field Of Swords). Excellent reading.

D4RK ONION · 02-10-2009 11:35pm

The only thing I've had time to read recently is the Irish Primary school curriculum. Absolutely riveting stuff... :rolleyes:

Try reading the damn thing as Gaeilge...

D4RK ONION · 03-10-2009 1:56am

AHahahahahaha... oh mercy! That'd make me want to cry!

A Neurotic · 03-10-2009 2:29pm

Bought Dawkins' "The Greatest Show on Earth" yesterday, can't wait to get stuck in.

I haven't read a book in months.

Fad · 03-10-2009 2:56pm

Left Paper Towns (Which I had just started) in College on Thursday night so I started Rhino What You Did Last Summer, which is brilliance.

D4RK ONION · 03-10-2009 3:25pm

Ha, a nerdfighter, nice

Love these books

suitcasepink · 03-10-2009 6:37pm

I can't remember the last book I read in full..
I should be able to say 'To Kill A Mockingbird' for school but I know I've skipped random pages maybe even a chapter. opps!
I read the Twilight books last year, but again I skipped chapters becasue I got bored. Yeh Im not the best reader!

Kinda curious as to what my demographic actually reads (if anything)

I'm reading:

All Families Are Psychotic-Douglas Coupland.

and I have the following lined up:

At Swim Two Birds-Flann O'Brien.
Survivor-Chuck Palahnuik.

and I have to scan through the "Bhagavad Gita" (Hare Krishna sacred text) for my religion project, which I really need to get done over Xmas

I am not a big reader. With a few weeks now i am reading Walk Away & Forget Him by Gerry Maguire and am enjoying it as i can relate to alot of what he says.

I am hoping to get Damian Lawlor's book on the Waterford Football Team which comes out during the week, and hope its a good read. I also have a few other books lined up to read, including on of John Charles McQuaid. Not everyones choice i would say.

Love All the People - a collection of Bill Hicks' routines, letters, and interviews. I love the man. Such an angry bastard.
