What are you reading?
 
I'm interested to know. What book everyone is reading right now? Want to see what people around here are into. I just got finished on reading the Repair Man Jack series again. The second one was my favorite by far. Good stuff. I recently re-read both books in the Halo series as well. I just got into the Cleric Quintet series from Forgotten Realms. I finished the first and it was so good I decided to go buy the next two today. I'm only one chapter into the second one mostly because I was dead tired at 7:00 tonight and ended up falling asleep until 12:30. Now I'll be up all night.

The Art Of War by Sun Tzu
I read (and study)it every two months, actually!

Currently, I'm reading up on Yoga, trying to put together a routine for myself.

But I think I'm gonna pick up Raptor Red again. I love that book.

Tetsu Deinonychus 05-28-2003 12:20 AM

What's Raptor Red about?

Kali 05-28-2003 12:31 AM

Raptor Red's a story about a Utahraptor, just grabbing a year out of her life, as well as some short bits about other species. It's written by Robert Bakker, great story, especially for dino lovers.

Tetsu Deinonychus 05-28-2003 12:37 AM

Almost sounds like this CGI movie idea I have. It's called the Sabrewing Saga.

Cascadia 05-28-2003 01:06 AM

I read tons of science books.....I will read just about anything that is science related....nutrition, biology, chemistry, psychology, geology, and water quality issues. I am pretty much similar to Donny. :P I have also read some Chinese and Japanese literature.

Nickokapo 05-28-2003 01:50 AM

What am i reading?Uhhhhh your post :p
Actually i'm not reading any books, i don't enjoy reading that much, even though i did as a kid, but children books do not entertain me anymore for obvious reasons :)
Anyone wanna recommend me a good book?Maybe i should start reading again..

Barkworm 05-28-2003 03:51 AM

Im not really a book person, I read mostly for school. Last bok I read was Bram Stoker's Dracula. Very good book.

Pepzi 05-28-2003 07:15 AM

I swear the last book I read tried to bite my hand off... So I kicked the ****er... any who, I have plans to read... but year 12... lets just say I read without needing or wanting!

GK Punk 05-28-2003 08:40 AM

I can't remember the title of the last book I read, but it was by Neil Gaiman, and it was very good. (I'll edit this later once I find the book)

HorseTechie 05-28-2003 12:08 PM

Fanfic!

*blinks*

Oh, you mean an actual, pphysical, paper book? *thinks for a minute* Erhm... the Lord of the Rings: TTT, was the last book I was reading. :D

"Son of the sword"

Look it up. I'm not telling a thing about it. :wink: :P

Deepflame 05-28-2003 02:14 PM

Currently I'm reading "The Talisman" by Stephen King and Peter Straub, although it feels a liiiittle too strange for me :P

Prior, I read "Musashi" by some japanese guy I cant rememeber the name of. If you have the time, go read it (them, two books), 'cause it was friggin awesome!

JameO 05-28-2003 03:32 PM

I have recently finished the StarCraft series and also read Faceoff but can't remember the author. It is a pretty good book about hockey and performance enhancing drugs.

As well as some Chuck Palahnuik books, "Choke" is the best.

I'm working my way through some Dragonlance books. I've finished the Chronicles series (around 1,200 pages :dead: ), and now I've started on the Legends (i think?) series. Really interesting, although typical, fantasy novels. Wizards, Dragons, Elves, some-impending-doom-comming-from some-unspeakable-dark-force-that-is-going-to-tear-the-world-apart kinda stuff.

and, in a few weeks, I'll be reading all 800+ pages of the new Harry Potter...Please let Rowling learn that while long books are good, the next one should not be over 1000 pages :dead: :lol: .

kyabetsu 05-29-2003 01:38 PM

YES IT SHOULD!!

THE NEXT HARRY POTTER BOOK SHOULD NEVER END!!!!!

oh wait. that's how the SERIES is....
*kya loves reading!*

Great. Shoe and CJ are still there, but everyone else left and went to other magazines. :cry: I really liked Che Chou.

But that's cool. :)

Tokka-B 05-30-2003 10:56 PM

Just finished Harry Potter GoF for the 5th time this month. OotP is going to be great, 896 pages wow! The next one will probly break 1,000 by her rate. The 3rd movie is coming along nicely as well...getting rid of Columbus finally!! :)

Meira-Bates 05-31-2003 10:07 AM

I am currently reading a handfull of Redwall books (Everytime I think I'm done I go to the store and find an armfull of new ones X.x)

I am also reading 'the Dragon and the Pheonix' and 'the Demon Awakens'

Tokka-B 05-31-2003 11:11 AM

Well Jacques only makes like one Redwall book a year, but they are making some alternate Redwall short books about like the clans and such so it could be hard to keep up, but I have been following for quite a while so I actually have problems waiting, so I think I am going to get his other series.

azure turtle 06-01-2003 02:09 PM

Hmm... For comic books, I'm currently reading TMNT (of course), Xin, and Violent Messiahs. As for things outside of comics, I've been reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. That's about it, unless you want to include text books. :dead:

Mars-Chan 06-02-2003 10:28 AM

Neeeh...I'm getting it on DVD. 8) Year three's gonna ROCK!!! :lol:

Cascadia 06-02-2003 10:33 AM

I just finished Renaissance Rivals which is about the various artists of the High Renaissance. During that time, Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Titian competed against one another to produce artwork. The only artist that it did not include is Donatello. Everyone figure out why. :evilgrin:

The Stryker 06-02-2003 10:55 AM
