Out Stealing Horses - Per Petterson

líreacán · 14-06-2008 6:15pm

I'm reading Catcher in the Rye for the first time. Excellent book! Think I may have preferred Franny and Zooey though.

On The Road, The Original Scroll - Jack Kerouac

banjopaul · 21-06-2008 4:28pm

The First Verse - Barry McCrea

IvyTheTerrible · 22-06-2008 11:50am

I've just started reading Don Quixote (how is that pronounced? I feel very silly when I try to say it out loud!). I've had it for ages but was put off because of the length...but now I've started it's very funny!

Started 'Sniper One' by SGT. Dan Mills

JangoFett · 25-06-2008 11:05am

I'm reading "Up Till Now", its William Shatner's autobiography, its awesome. I only know him from Star Trek, Tj Hooker, Boston Legal and his various advertising roles but this book explores his love for theatre and so much more, its brilliant!

theCzar · 25-06-2008 11:58am

Rainbow 6, gun porn. It was better when I was 15.

BurnsCarpenter · 25-06-2008 12:38pm

Reading Lord of the Rings again.
Trying in vain not to visualise the actors from the films.

I must get that! I'm a huge fan of the original Star Trek. I'm reading House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus. It's very good and worth a look.

John · 27-06-2008 7:47pm

No Wave by Marc Masters

Sconsey · 28-06-2008 4:06pm

The Mote in Gods Eye - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle

Sci-Fi classic from the 70's, it's really good, don't know how I've never read it until now.

BroomBurner · 28-06-2008 5:32pm

Just finished The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Woa by Junot Diaz. Was a brilliant book, very different. Any suggestions on where to go now? In the mood for something different again. (Different as in am not in the mood right now for formulaic King, Connolly, et al).

Pompey Magnus · 28-06-2008 5:37pm

How Jesus Became Christian by Barrie Wilson.

owlwink · 29-06-2008 9:35am

I'm sticking to Stoker for the time being...

Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult

Looking forward to seeing what the twist is- I know there is one!!! :eek:

I could never finish it!!! How are you doing this?? :eek:

John · 05-07-2008 2:32am

Those reading Ulysses, persevere, it's well worth it. Plus reading it a second time (or listening to the audiobook) is far easier and more enjoyable.

Just finished reading Bandit Roads by Richard Grant. This chap decided to travel through the Sierra Madre mountains and write a book about it. Excellent book, even if the writing isn't the Mae West at times.

Currently reading Bill Bryson's biography of Shakespeare. It's good but not very informative about the man himself (although that seems to be the nature of any Shakespeare biography).

entropi · 07-07-2008 1:35am

In the past week or so i've finished the 2nd book in The Dark Magician Trilogy, The Novice by Trudi Canavan, good reading from both so far getting onto the 3rd book tomorrow.

Also recently finished The Spooks Mistake, 5th book in The Wardstone Chronicles by Joseph Delaney. By far my favourite series of books to read yet, brilliant and yet only rated for reading by teenagers

Can you tell i like fantasy books yet ? haha

raah! · 07-07-2008 2:21am

Why is ulysses so hard to read? I am considering reading it after finishing dubliners which I thought was quite good.

tHE vAGGABOND · 07-07-2008 12:50pm

Nightwatch...

I have heard a pile of folks talking about it over last few weeks 'Russian lord of the rings' etc etc - so giving it a blast.

Kolodny · 08-07-2008 10:50pm

Just started Incandescence - Greg Egan.

Tristram · 09-07-2008 12:03am

Plea of Insanity by Jilliane Hoffman. New author to me, grand auld thriller, kept me interested almost the whole way through.
Night Work by Steve Hamilton, disappointing. Contractual obligations perhaps.
Bones to Ashes by Kathy Reichs. Not a huge Reichs fan tbh but thought this one had more to it than the usual Bones books. Bit more back story and an interesting insight into some small element of French-Canadian history.
Spanish Fly by Will Ferguson. Just put it down, never read any of his stuff before, really enjoyed it.

About to embark on Richard Russo's Bridge of Sighs, hope it lives up to hype.

This week, I are mostly reading....
