Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. Going to be a very sad tale I think

NegativeCreep

Reading American Psycho for the second time this summer. LOVE IT!

Vincent Vega

'Civilization and its Discontents' by Freud.
Only a few chapters in but pretty interesting so far and surprisingly readable for the layman.

Reading Strumpet City for a book club. Struggling with it I have to say.

Struggling with Strumpet City, ah for Jaysus sake.

Just started Sophie's World

Currently reading 'The Corner' from David Simon - the creator of the show the Wire. Great read. Gives an insight of what it like to raise a child in one of Americas worst neighbourhoods.

I going to read the Wolf of Wall Street next. Apparently they are making a movie of it starring Leonardo Di Caprio.

Dave!

Finished "Ham on Rye" by Charles Bukowski yesterday, and have started "Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemmingway.

Struggling to fight the boredom I feel when reading it.

I'm reading The Red Queen, by Phillipa Gregory. It's very good, a real page turner. I just finished Return to Manderley by Sally Beauman, that was very good too and not something I'd normally have chosen.

losthorizon

The Pilgrim's Progress in Old and Modern English. Its just about keeping my attention. Don't know why I am reading the book. I am not religious at all but every now and again I get a book that is very old just to broaden the type and range of books I have read.

EdenHazard

Manuscripts found in Accra by Coehlo, life lessons which I think are inspiring. Atheist types might not like it due to spiritual undertones but I wouldn't call it a religious book.

Zombee

I'm about a third of my way through "Citadel" by Kate Mosse, when I'm finished I will start Book 5 in the Wheel of Time series "Fires of Heaven".

McChubbin

I just purchased Gone Girl. I'm saving it for my holiday reading. I'm told it's suposed to be quite gripping.

Yellow121

I haven't been able to put down my current book for weeks. It has so many little tales within the big tale. I don't see any of the twists and turns coming.

Yellow121

Oh, it's called Ann and Barry.

Don't say any more. I'm only on page 3 nd don't want the end ruined on me.

Been reading 'The Incal', illustrated by Moebius. A sort of graphic novel but some whopper illustrations in it.

Have you seen any Jodorowsky films? If so, is his writing in Incal anything similar?

beano345

the adventures of huckleberry finn

BeerWolf

One of them yellow 'For Dummies' books - as to what category it is, I ain't saying :P

QuiteInterestin

Northern Lights by Philip Pullman, good so far!

I found it to be a page turner for the most part but didn't really enjoy it as a whole. The plot just spirals into complete absurdity and you want to slap all the characters. Probably good for a holiday ready though, I imagine you'll be hooked throughout the first half, I was anyway.

Just finished reading The Iceman by Philip Carlo. It's a true story about Richard Kuklinski mafia contract killer and all round psychopath. Couldn't recommend it enough.

Now about to start Hard Time by Shaun Attwood another true story, this one is about an English guy jailed in Arizona for dealing Ectasy. Watched him on banged up abroad last week and bought the book based on that.

I havn't seen any no, although cheers this reminds me to. The copy of The Incal is translated, apparently doesn't read as fluidly as the original...

The Hunger Games. Enjoying it so far.

Finished this the other day and really enjoyed it so went straight into the second one. They're addictive!

Gonzovision

Still in my Rome faze, some fiction this time, with Imperium by Robert Harris. The first of the Cicero books.

shockwave

Reading Dan Browns new one Inferno, about halfway through and im bored.

apieceofcake

Just finishing up 'Sisterland' by Curtis Sittenfeld. Really enjoyed it, think she is a very perceptive writer.

Have Ian Rankin's newest book lined up to read next. ('Standing in another man's grave')

Have never read anything by him before, but have heard he is very good.

Stevie888

Just finished High Fidelity, it's hilarious, mainly due to how close to the bone it is! Haven't laughed do much whilst reading a book in a long time, but sad aswel.

Next up will be Niall Fergusons "Empire", which should be interesting.
