What book is everyone reading at the moment?

[rsaavedra]

After reading "Sophie's World" and being seriously dissapointed with the "literary" part of the book, decided to go for an intro book on phylosophy without any literary attempts. Reading now Antimanual de Filosofía by Michel Onfray, and What Does It All Mean by Thomas Nagel.

 

[Sceptic Realist]

"Invisible Man," by Ralph Ellison. Good gravy, does this man know how to choose his words! I've never read more concise, clear, beautiful language before.

 

[headscratcher4]

Game of Thrones.

 

[catbasket]

The Greatest Show On Earth - Richard Dawkins, and

Chasm City - Alastair Reynolds.

 

[dropzone]

206 Bones by Kathy Reichs. I have to read it because I'm her research droid, but though I don't usually read fiction, I'm enjoying it.

 

[rsaavedra]

The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell.

The Final Meeting, by Sandor Marai.

 

[Emukt]

Matter by Iain M. Banks - one of the best SF writers in my book

 

[Aurelian]

Spook by Mary Roach

 

[Hamsterfan]

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett, which has some interesting views on religion that I like very much.

Oh my goodness - good luck with reading just one. The Discworld books are like potato chips to me - can't read just one!

So I am reading - Soul Music, by Pratchett and Demon Haunted World, like so many others.

I just finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and now I'm reading the second book of a post apolyptic trilogy titled Kingdom River by Mitchell Smith.

 

[pakeha]

Cakes and Ale by Somerset Maugham.

 

[headscratcher4]

Hitler's Empire: how the Nazis ruled Europe

 

[SoBitter]

Harry Potter V, and a really poorly written law review article.

 

[Elf Grinder 3000]

The Greatest Show On Earth - Richard Dawkins, and

Chasm City - Alastair Reynolds.

Just started reading by Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds.

 

[pakeha]

Middlemarch, by George Elliot.

 

[Deranged]

The Great Influenze by John Barry at the same time I'm reading, I'll Survive and You Will Too! by Tammy Faye Messner. I usually have 2 books going at once. Or three. I may have exhausted all Tennessee Williams biographies and his memoirs.

"The Gates" , by John Connolly. And yes, I know it's not been released yet, but I'm in the position of getting books before they're published. Some lucky bastard has to review them, after all!

 

[RoboTimbo]

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Next will be World Without End.

 

[Wudang]

Continuing my Chris Brookmyer season with A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil. One of his more reflective works especially in the flashbacks to the schooldays of the main characters but with many belly laughs.

Currently pushing through "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". Pretty interesting but a little heavy on the language side.
