What Book(s) Are You Reading Now? - Page 2

Oh, books! My (quite probably) favorite thing in the world if not for chocolate.

I'm reading my copies of 'Reader's Digest' because I've already worked my way through most of my other books, but I'm trying to get my hands on another copy of the Silmarillion by J. R. R. Tolkien. It's really good, and I found it far more interesting than the trilogy.

By the way, while I'm here, may I take this splendid opportunity to recommend Terry Pratchett or Neil Gaiman? I'd actually be reading them if not for the fact that I read through all their books already. (yes, I'm boasting) But still...

Oh, and I'm also reading my post on this topic, but I suppose that doesn't count.

Terry Pratchett is good. I'm currently reading his "Wyrd Sisters", and hopefully I'll be able to finish it before Sunday. It's quite an interesting take on Shakespeare... Macbeth, right? But I'm sure it's more than just Macbeth. I need to read Macbeth too.

Besides that, of course, there's "Merchant Of Venice", and I really need to re-read some of the scenes in there, since we're doing that in school right now for Literature.

And I'm trying to read message left on the table. Oh well. That doesn't count either.

Sounds like you're into hardcore horror- cool beans! "Weaveworld" is more of a fantasy/horror hybrid. For your first Barker novel I'd instead suggest his first novel, "Damnation Game". Nice and grisly! Enjoy.

Harry Potter rules, but I'm waiting for the 6ths book, god bless pre order, . I'm reading Ummmmm:
James Reese's The Book of Shadows --- I think he's fresh out of college writing... makes me get out the dictionary too often, .
Maggie Furey's Harp of Winds ---- I love this series and recommend it for anyone who loves good hearty intelectual and slightly romantic adventures in medieval fantasy.
The Veil of a Thousand Tears by Eric Van Lustbader --- also a good series with a rather freakish mix of futuristic Sci fi and medieval fantasy. Magic meets technology, I recommend reading the books in order.
And as soon as it comes out in paper back: Terry Goodkind's Chainfire ---- this is the best series I've ever read.... unfortunately it makes any book under 300 pages seem somewhat dull.

I'm in the process of making my way through the first three books in the Series of Unfortunate Events. I've been wanting to read them for awhile, but wasn't able to get around it. I won't go see the movie until I read them, though, and my hunny bunny is getting desperate.

I'm also reading The Tale of Despereaux which is the 2004 Newberry Award winner for Children's Literature.

Hey Ambria, me too - I hate seeing movies before reading the corresponding book.

So the first volume of that, the book of Mormon , Dragonflight by Anne Mccaffrey, Dune: house Harkonnen, characters and viewpoints by Orson scott card, Timeline by Michael Chrichton.

The books I am reading recreationally (since you probably don't want to hear about my textbooks) include:

Scriptures (of course)
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale
Origins and Development of the English Language by Thomas Pyles
The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

They are all good, although 'The Things They Carried' includes some language and themes not suitable for all ages. I actually met Tim O'Brien last year - he spoke to my witing class, and he autographed a book for me. He was quite an interesting guy.
