Every time this thread pops up it reminds me that I need to start reading my copy of 11/22/63. Tomorrow will be the day.
got myself a kindle and loaded it with books. Reading 'The God Delusion' right now. quite good so far
A feast of crows from the Ice and Fire series.
I don't like all the characters in it but some are done really well.
Need to order some new books too, after this one I'll be out of reading material.
I'm reading the Steve Jobs bio now, but am always looking for new stuff to read, any recommendations?
Love sci-fi fantasy (RA Salvatore) funny sorta off the wall stuff (have the world according to Clarkson on my kindle now) and well would at least sample something if you give me a good reason too
Would especially like a good book about gaming and/or the industry. I know they mentioned a few on the bombcast, I will have to go back and find the titles
Grim Tuesday-Garth Nix
The Green Mile-Stephen King
The Litigators-John Grisham
Halo:Glasslands-Karen Travis
@xMP44x: You may have read it, but I highly recommend "Shooting an Elephant", the collection of articles/essays by Orwell.
Now I'm mainly reading The Plague of Fantasies by Zizek, Regarding the Pain of Others by Susan Sontag, The Transcendence of the Ego by Sartre, and then a few others to do with School.
There are however a few other books which I cover a few pages at a time when the particular mood strikes me.

It's tragic, but I have to admit the only Orwell book I've read has been Animal Farm, though I loved the style and therefore I'm eager to read other work from him. Shooting an Elephant seems like it would be very enjoyable. I've also wanted to read Sartre because of his quote, "When the rich wage war it's the poor who die", but I still haven't gotten around to it either. I haven't read any philosophy yet but I have a copy of Arthur Schopenhauer's The World as Will and Idea sitting on my shelves, readied. I also have Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto, but again, I haven't read it yet. I'm thinking I'll read Schopenhauer and perhaps Hitler's Mein Kampf after each other since Hitler's views were apparently inspired by Schopenhauer's.

For no particular reason I'm in a Russian author-craze or whatever. Prior I read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Fyodor Dostoyevsky (not their entire work (yet?), btw!).
Now reading Mikhail Bulgakov's 'The Fatal Eggs'.
I'm thinking the same to be honest. I don't know why but in the past year or so I've really developed an interest in Russia and its history. Am I right in thinking Solzhenitsyn was responsible for The Gulag Archipelago, or was that someone else? The Master and the Margarita also seems interesting.
