What Are You Reading?

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 a bookaholic and when i'm at home im hardly ever not reading.
Recently i've just finished the knoughts and crosses series and both books by Ruth Gilligan. Good reads if i do say so myself.
Now i'm re-reading my novel for the leaving cert - Girl with a pearl earring, could be worse.

I am a bookaholic too. I read books almost all the time.
But, most of the books are inspirational.

I really haven't been able to get back into books since the Leaving Cert. I've only finished two so far this summer

Same. All through 6th year I was yearning for a bit of reading time; this summer, I've only read a handful of books. I bought a Cormac McCarthy last week and haven't even opened it yet.

I've actually been bitten by the bug this summer,

"Twilight",
"New Moon",
"Eclipse",
"Breaking Dawn", all by Stephenie Meyer,
"Pride And Prejudice" By Jane Austen,
"Grimms Fairytales" by The Brothers Grimm

"Zen in the Art of Archery" By Eugen Herrigel, which is gonna take another two or three reads, its heavy going!
"The Fundamentals Of Recurve Target Archery" By Ruth Bowe,
"Zen In The Sporting Zone"
"Archery, The Art Of Repetition" By Simon S Needham,

And I'm gonna re-read "On The Edge, My Story" Richard Hammonds autobiography. It was a great read.

Can anyone point me to a good bio ar autobio for afterwards please?

At the mo I'm reading Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman... I'm always reading some book... I've very similar taste to my Mom so I read all her old books... Is it unusual for a 15 (since the 20th of august:D) to read books of this genre...? I've been reading them since primary...

I'm really into detective/murder novels... Anything by Jonathan Kellerman (featuring Alex Delaware),Anything by Jefferie Deaver (ft. Lincorn Rhyme), Anything by Michael Connelly (ft. either Harry Bosch, Jack McEvoy or Rachel Walling) and anything by James Patterson (ft. Alex Cross)...

Can't go wrong with any of them if anyone is looking for a read...!!!

Arcade Panda

I'm nearly finished 1984 by George Orwell...it's really really good.

Next up:

Mrs. Dalloway-Virginia Woolf
Wuthering Heights- Emily Brontë

I'm fairly sure these don't actually count as books. That's way too flattering a title for them.

I've read a fair bit of fantasy this summer. I reread all of Harry Potter, The Wheel of Time series a little bit...I really can't remember, but I haven't read a good book in a while.

A Neurotic

I have nothing to do all day so I have absolutely no excuse not to get stuck into Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.

JC06

I've read alot this summer. I just finished 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' and before that 'The Kite Runner' both by Khaled Hosseini. I would really recommend both books. I'm trying to finish 'Questions and Answers'. Would people recommend 'The Da Vinci Code'? I have it ages and I still haven't read it and I've never seen the film. Is it good? Confusing?

Insect Overlord

I really enjoyed The Da Vinci Code, but when I went to read it a second time I gave up after a few pages. If you do read it, you'll probably be finished within a few hours.

I'm halfway through The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy in four parts, have to get back into that...

There's actually 5 parts, they just never seemed to stop referring to it as that for some reason.

There will soon be a 6th, written by Eoin Colfer, the only review I've seen of it said it's just "not funny". So not sure if anyone will bother with it or whether theey'll just ignore it and send him hate mail for the rest of his life

Shacklebolt

Just finished Sophies World. The story was a load of shite but the philosophy parts were brilliant.

Jesus Juice

Im reading a book called The Road To Memphis,Its about racial tensions in 40s Missisipi.I love books set in or about the deep south.

I've been trying to re-read Wheel Of Time all summer but it's not going well. I finished the 7th one a few weeks ago and I've been putting off starting the 8th. They're just so long!

Might take a trip to the library this week and start something else

Still reading The Beach, read a good hundred pages today, getting really really good.

Have some silly number of books lined up, pity all I'll get to read about is calculus and Newtonian Mechanics in the near future.
