Now Reading... (or Recently Finished)

[mycroft220]

Reading "Lives of the Mind". A book that analyzes philosophers and authors and whether they were indeed part of a rare intellectual breed or part of the pseudo-intelligentsia. Quite interesting!

[gothicmom]

I'm currently reading a book called " reading lolita in Tehran"

It's good but I'm stumbeling through very slowly.

I think I would like to read Lolita. Has anyone read it?

[Senay]

InStyle Magazine. I need new shoes.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If you like historical fiction (and I don't mean the romance kind ) then I recommend the book I'm reading now which is about Hannibal. Kinda along the lines of your current read.

Pride of Carthage by David Anthony Durham

Not the best book I've ever read, but worth checking out. Now if I could just finish it so I could get it back to the library....

[Senay]

Goddammit, I quoted the wrong person.

Really, I SWEAR I'm not a total idiot... :blushing

[Senay]

some roman history, specifically the first punic war

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

This was the quote.

:blushing

[Daevion]

What?! no Hannibal in the Instyle mag? damn I bought the wrong thing! doh!

sounds like it might be a good read, i'll have to check it out

[Guest MsMaldoror]

Yes, that's a great book by Burgess.

I just got through with the wanting seed ... which is VERY good ... i recomend it but now that im done with it ... does any one have anything ot recommend to me lol ???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

[Guest MsMaldoror]

Does anyone else here like the comic/graphic novel series "Gloom Cookie"? It's cheesy but funny and oh-so-true to goth form.

Historical fiction wise i'd suggest : (note not "alternative history")

The First Man in Rome - Colleen McCullough

The Killer Angels - Michel Shaara

if you like fairly "deep" historical fiction these two are probably impossible not to like. And judging by the near universally good reviews , i seem to be not alone in that opinion, for once! hah

[pomba gira]

Trying to get thru Freeware by Rudy Rucker; more successfully reading the current issue of Shonen Jump and some Animerica back issues. I may give up on Freeware (for now) & start Look to Windward by Iain M. Banks instead.

all throughout middle school and high school i

only checked out one book ever and it was

go ask alice and i think its my favorite book

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I recently re-read part of Go Ask Alice after about 30 years... can't believe I ever actually thought it was written by an adolescent girl

I think I would like to read Lolita.  Has anyone read it?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Haven't read Lolita, but I did read another Nabokov book called Ada, on the same theme of forbidden desire. It was loooong and tedious.

I am going to go lie down now- I'm overcome by being on a board with actual literate people. Most of my recent online time has been on juggalo boards, & as at least one other person in this thread can attest, the Juggalo Nation is not real big on literacy.

Abarat - Clive Barker

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I love that book! I'm a fan of his writing and his art work.

Right now I am (finally) finishing up the literary parts in the 2005 Llewellyns Magical Almanac. I don't know why anyone needs prayer techniques but....ok.

[SomeDanGuy]

I love that book!  I'm a fan of his writing and his art work.

Yep, I can see both of them on my bookshelf from where I'm sitting right now =)

At the moment I'm reading about mitochondrial inheritence *sob*

Once school is over, it's on to a cool Greg Bear book I just got

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I hear ya. I know how grad school can be, though I realize med school is much more intensive than what I endured.

I've been reading lots of manga and graphic novels lately.

I'm reading my school's fall class schedule to figure out what I'm gonna be taking.

[Shade Everdark]

I've read Nabokov's Lolita. I had to shower for three days straight to get rid of that icky feeling. Seriously, though, it was just one of those books that didn't have much sympathy for any of its main characters.

Still re-reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Long-winded bastard.
