What are you reading... Now...

*Brodie* · 06-21-2005, 11:19 PM

I'm in the middle of a cluster-buster of books:

High Fidelity - Scary good, considering its written how men think....
A Brief History Of Time - Stephen Hawking, baby
A Prayer For Owen Meany - Hahaha, Simon Birch.
War Of The Worlds - So...wait...Tom who?

One of the worst books I've ever read. Usually the book is better than the movie, and this time the movie was way better than the book.

Great book.

What am I reading?

Outsiders (the most recent issue): mindboggling, Brainiac
This thread: sort of new
"Media Control" - Noam Chomsky: Great book about how media influences us
"Winterkrieg in Tibet" - Friedrich Dürrenmatt: Dead boring and very comlicated, but I have to read it.

*damnhooligan* · 06-22-2005, 09:23 AM

"In Praise of Nepotism" by Adam Bellow, historical non-fiction about family enterprises.

I'm one of those folks that reads one book at a time, but I usually plow through them within a couple days or so. And thanks for reminding me that I really need to throw down a couple hundred bucks on new reading material.

*KROW* · 06-22-2005, 10:03 AM

"The Cleric Quintet" by R.A. Salvatore, a collection of five novels about a cleric named Cadderly and his friends Danica and two dwarves named Ivan and Pikel Bouldershoulder. It's over 1,000 pages long and it's very good.

*Brodie* · 06-22-2005, 10:03 AM

I disagree about High Fidelity being bad, I read a lot, and it reads way better than a lot of stephen king books. I just like the first person view into a dude's psyche who thinks an awful lot like every man ever.

Just something I can relate to.

It's a lot like Chuck Palahniuks work, just less prolific and masochistic.

I just finished Palahniuk's 'Haunted'm and have Invisible Monsters to read too.

malignant · 06-22-2005, 12:31 PM

I just got done reading The War of the Worlds......yeah, great book.

Currently reading - Deep Freeze.

*raphael_is_cool* · 06-22-2005, 12:56 PM

Currently reading:

The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum
Blast from the Past by Ben Elton

My comic shop restocked it's back issues of Swamp Thing volume 2 (virtually the entire series) and I've been scrambling to read them as fast as I can (before other people start buying them).

I've been reading about 15 issues a week and I'm at #80 right now. God damn, these are comic books at their finest.

tekcop · 06-26-2005, 12:44 AM

Some AP psychology study books, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, and re-reading Lords of Chaos.

Indeed they are. I started "Quintet" after filling my head with all the awesome Drizzt adventures, which took a good chunk of time. After this I intend to read Salvatore's "The Highwayman."
