I'm working my way through the complete Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. I'm now at book 8 "Guards! Guards!". Pretty funny stuff.

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'.

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.

Presently reading Can't Stop Won't Stop. Some book on the history of Hip-Hop. Pretty dope.

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.

Eh, "Das Urteil" by Kafka, "Survivor" by Palahniuk and I tried "The Night Watch" by Lukyanenko but gave up after 200 pages. Very soon I will start my annual LotR reading, though. Wheee.

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

#164 Posted by UKSamwise (433 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

I've got the complete stories of Sherlock Holmes. So far I'm a couple of chapters into The Sign of Four.

I am reading Dracula, by Bram Stroker, definitely a classic which should not be missed by anyone, it is absolutely great.

@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.

#170 Posted by GoofyGoober (936 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

A simple act of murder. Think I might read some more in a min actually.

#171 Posted by Pezen (1025 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

Currently rocking "Kingdom Of Fear" by Hunter S Thompson. Because whatever is worth doing is worth doing right.

#172 Posted by AiurFlux (683 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

Atlas Shrugged.

Rather fitting given today's political, social, and economic situation. lol

I am reading 11/22/63. It is really amazing. Stephen King's best work in years.

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.

After all the hype around it, I finally started reading a Game of Thrones, a tough read but I am enjoying it

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.

Do comic books count?

If so, im currently reading Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.

Be jealous.

#179 Posted by Zidane_24 (733 posts) - 1 year, 4 months ago

Just finished Anvil Gate, the third Gears of War book. I'll probably start Coalition's End next, although I have The Hunger Games on my Kindle that I should really start.
