what are you reading?

[Immortal Souls]

I am reading the book 1984 by george orwell.

 

[antiface]

John D. McDonald "Condominium".

 

[Thoth-Amon]

less than 200 pages left in Anna Karenina and readying Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism by Spong.

 

[derek]

Gruen's Last Generation of the Roman Republic, his response to Syme.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I FINALLY finished Anna Karenina last night. I had like a 140 pages to go yesterday so I plowed through it.
I really identified with the character of Levin. He and I went through many of the same thought processes and spiritual struggles. It was strange reading his thoughts... I would often go "That's EXACTLY what I think/thought!" Anyway excellent though very slow book.
Next up I think I'll delve into this tiny book of Pushkin short stories.
Russian lit for the win!

I am currently reading... Nothing. I haven't had time to read a book after the latest Harry Potter came, which I read in less than 24 hours (started at 3pm and finished the next day before noon) and I don't even speak English as my first language.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

polished off those Pushkin stories and am delving into more Tolstoy... this time short stories as well.

 

[Einherjar86]

Close to finishing House of Leaves. I'm prepared to rank it in my top ten of modern literature. It's incredible.

 

[derek]

It's insane. I almost didn't know what to make of it. I considered it Joyce-esque in its layers.

 

[Blackwater Demon]

Blackwood Farm from the Vampire Chronicles

 

[metal_wrath]

I am currently reading The Decameron by Giovanni Boccaccio. My first book by this author. This seems to be the perfect novel which I am happy to have discovered and greatly enjoy reading.

AJP Taylor's German History Volumes. Good old fashioned historiography. They've aged very well, and constitute his best work, I think.

Interesting, I may order this book. I have been looking for a good German history text.

 

[jpmuikku]

As usual, reading multiple books at the time. Some reserved for bed time reading, so for bus trip and so on.
Walter J.- William - The Rift
Agatha Christie - 4.50 from Paddington
Philippe Legrain - Open world - The Truth About Globalisation
Andrew Nagorski - The Greatest Battle - The Fight For Moscow 1941-42

 

[Thornmoon]

Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison

 

[Winter.]

I'm not reading anything at the moment... I'm looking for some recommendations.

My favourite authors are Stephen King, John Connolly, and just recently I read a few books by the anthropologist Liza Dalby.

I wasn't too absorbed into that one actually... I just couldn't get into it at all.

My favourite Stephen King book is (and probably always will be) It. My phobia of clowns hasn't gotten any better mind you!
