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 just finished Into The Wild. It's an incredible book, inspirational.
I want to start reading the discworld series now.

Charles Bukowski - Ham on Rye

My Sister's Keeper for school purposes, seems alright so far.

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Read it before, a couple of years ago. Love it. It's a big'un, so I'll be chipping away at it for a month or two I'd say.

Started reading that, got bored after a few chapters. I didn't make much of an effort with it though...

Just finished The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks-really original book, very good read, a kind of modern gothic horror with sci-fi sensibilities

a bit graphic though in terms of violence, and distinctly creepy. Excellent story though, and some of the prose is amazing (I was underlining like a mad thing, arts degrees will turn you a bit weird). Still haven't made my mind up about the ending yet, but I hightly reccommend it. Last non-college related bit of fiction I'll be reading for a while, nice to end on a high note! Best present ever

"The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant". Brilliant series.

Yep. Read those series years ago and thought they were excellent. A kind of adult LOTR.

"It" by Stephen King, for the halloween spirit.

I took out two books from the library at college this week for some light reading:
One is called Gray's Anatomy for Students.
The other is called Spacetime Physics, and is about special relativity.

I just picked up "Let The Right One In". I enjoyed the film so when I saw the book decided to buy it. Should be interesting

I'll be interested to see how the book is actually, the film was amazing.
Apparently it came out roughly around the same time as those twilight books..hmmm...

Tried to read that once, got so bored I had to stop, same with a few other books everyone loves, like Trainspotting

Fad

Nineteen Eighty Four is on of the greatest books I have ever read, captivated me from the start.

Can understand the problem with Trainspotting though.

Reading the sacred Scripture by Sebastian Barry-brilliant read if a little depressing

D4RK ONION

1984 (don't know why people feel the need to spell it out), is indeed captivating, but it gets very heavy, and the ending
SPOILER SPOILER LA LA LA

is so depressing, I mean, you know he can't win, but you want him to so bad, and then he becomes just like all the other idiots. The war on the TV is the perfect metaphor for the battle going on in his mind.

I call it that because that is the name of the book:) Or anyway, the one I got says the full thing anyway:):D

Pretty good read so far, very interesting.

The Human Stain by Philip Roth. Incredibly well written, some passages are nothing short of masterful. Really, really interesting novel. Nearly at the end unfortunately.

Going to move on to his most well known novel American Pastoral next. Can't wait.

I plan on spending the next few months reading Roth and then moving on to Updike, just to compare and contrast and try and decide which one really is the greater writer. Damn college work (partying) getting in the way though!

When I read it the copy I had had it spelled out aswell. I always thought it was "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and not "1984".

I guess it really doesn't matter though.

Just finished that, it was amazing. It's not the kind of book I'd usually read but I loved it.

I'm rereading Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer cos I have nothing else and no time to go to the library

It's great though.
