What is the last book(s) you read? (or are reading)

[Strange But True]

I recently finished A Mind Apart: Travels in a Neurodiverse World by Susanne Antonetta and am currently working on a collection of H.P. Lovecraft tales including The Call of Cthulhu.

[Guest Megalicious]

Nerd I swear.

Yes- yes I am. But you already knew that.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Finished pride and prejudice, then I read Time Enough for Love by Robert A. Heinlein for the third or forth time (he's my favorite author). Now I think I'm gonna read a book called The End of Growth, Adapting to Our New Economic Reality by Richard Heinberg.

I never read that one but i've read a bunch of his stuff, i like him. That whole era of writers is good (asimov / bradburry etc) last group of writers before television became the primary entertainment medium.

[Enishi]

A Dance with Dragons.

It's good and all but....eh, not a particularly good book to read when I'm in a depressed state. A Song of Ice and Fire is a VERY dark series. :\

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Stuck on three pages in The Fabric of the Cosmos... just explains space-time in a way i never heard before and makes it a HELL of a lot easier to grasp. Keep re-reading it. lol

[Invictus]

Got halfway through Crime and Punishment but it fell in some water and melted. I need to get a new copy.

[DarkVampire]

I really hadn't the time to read anything. I've been busy writing my own. But I've been reading a couple of chapters of books that deal with the Cold War and survival to get some ideas.

The Price of Altruism - by Oren Harman.

I picked it up after my 2nd listen to Radiolabs The Good Show. After hearing about Price I had to know more. An amazingly brilliant, but extremely flawed man, I couldn't put this book down- I finshed it in one massive sitting.

This book not only invaded the scientific, logical part of my brain, it also pulled at my heart strings..... It was a prodigious read- I would recommend it to anyone.

[Strange]

I'm reading Gears of War Angil Gate, by Karen Traviss. Its really good as are her other gears of war novels I love the video games so I had to get the books. It shows some of the true grittiness you don't see in the games.

[livininxtcgoth]

"John Dies @ the End" by David Wong. Go get, read now.

[phee]

The Sad Tale Of The Brothers Grossbart by Jesse Bullington.... Talk about your twisted and horrifying fairytale stuff.... If the Brothers Grimm and Clive Barker ever had a project together...

[Shaun]

Reading Dead Until Dark: a Sookie Stackhouse Novel. Gotta say I'm kinda disappointed so far. For once I think the show is actually better.

[killyosaur]

Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground by by Michael Moynihan and Didrik Søderlind was the book I've most recently finished.

[Achilles]

readig Under the dome by Stephen King, was thinking of reading a seiries by R.A salvatore based on a D&D fantasy world

[Invictus]

Just finished the latest Dresden Files book "Ghost Story" which I very much enjoyed. Now I'm reading a recent translation of War and Peace which includes all the followup stuff that was pretty much untranslated.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

City at the End of Time - Greg Bear

[Simon Bar Sinister]

Stardust - Neil Gaiman

[Eevee]

I haven't posted in here...? Odd.

The last full book I read, I finished in June. It was Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash" and it kept me company while in Japan.

I then picked up "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams.

Not too far in to Hitchhiker's, I spotted "Nightwatch" by Sergei Lukyanenko at a Border's. I've been wanting to read it, so I bought it...and my interests have turned to that.

It sucks because I only really find the time to read when I either devote to it, or just before bed. It takes me forever to get through books because of that.

Edit:

I did post...its just been a while.

I'm stuck on this series after reading Game of Thrones and watching the first season. I'm almost done with it, I'll have to buy the third one from iBooks soon.

[Rayne]

A Dance with Dragons.

It's good and all but....eh, not a particularly good book to read when I'm in a depressed state. A Song of Ice and Fire is a VERY dark series. :\

Recently finished reading:

The Gone series by Michael Grant

Fallen by Pete Hamill

When I'm on a roll, I read a book every 2 days or so. I have been on said roll lately. I'm not getting much sleep, but I'm clearing the shelves at the local library quite nicely.

The Gunslinger - first Stephen King novel ever!!!! I feel accomplished. I am all ready plowing my way through The Drawing of the Three.

First books I have read in a good 2 years

Iris - I read the first 2 books of the Dark Tower series years ago. I just picked up the books at a yard sale, and am going to be charging through all of them soon. I've heard wind that there's a filmed version in the works or coming out soon, so I want to re-read the ones I read and finish the rest in anticipation.
