what are you reading right now? - Page 33

***IronParrot*** · 03-08-2003, 07:39 PM

Just finished J.D. Salinger's The Catcher In The Rye... next I'll be moving onto Anthony Giddens' Runaway World, probably the first assigned reading I've had all year (being an engineering student with one political science class right now)...

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-09-2003, 01:02 AM

Right now I'm reading a topic on Entmoot.

TinuvielChild · 03-09-2003, 01:33 AM

Currently? BoLT1, Timeline and The Andromeda Strain by Michael Crichton, Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett, and (soon) Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë (for school). Also, I want to read either (or both!) Mere Christianity and/or The Problem of Pain, by C.S.Lewis.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond and Silmarillion and The Legond of Luke

Linaewen · 03-12-2003, 07:05 AM

The Silm., followed by LotR and the Hobbit, then followed by HoME, then maybe restart the cycle again?!
Actually, when I've done that, i might read some other books I've reserved before i devour Harry Potter 5

I've been on a reading spree the last few days. Just finished up P is for Peril (Sue Grafton), the second Artmemis Fowl book and In This Mountain (Jan Karon). Getting ready to start Master and Commander (Patrick O'Brien). Ahhh...the joy of having a library card.

What's So Amazing About Grace? by Phillip Yancey

Jadera · 03-15-2003, 01:26 PM

The Two Towers (made the mistake of seeing the movie first, resulting in massive confusion when I got through the middle of the book), the biography of John. D. Rockerfeller, the Goblet of Fire, and something else...just can't think of it right now.

support_your_local_elf · 03-16-2003, 12:26 PM

Timeline by Michael Crichton and The Perfect Murder by Jack Hilt, Larence Block, Sarah Caudwell, Tony Hillerman, Peter Lovesey, and Donald E. Westlake (had to check the book for those) and very soon The Silm. and LotR (again.) Probably something else, too.

I think BoP will be glad to hear that, after reading the required amount of books for my novels class, I've started reading Dune. I'm also reading "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie, for my quick read.

It was very good. Probably would have made more sense if I'd brushed up on some of the other pantheons tho'.

W00t! Hope ya enjoy it as much as I did.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-17-2003, 10:53 AM

I looked up American Gods on Amazon.com. Looks quite interesting. I'll have to read it some time.

HobbitChick88 · 03-17-2003, 10:51 PM

I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia right nowand i'm on Prince Capian @ the moment, which is the 2nd one. Both of my parents have read them and have been wanting me to read them for years, but I never did. I really should have listened to them, they're really good books!

I'm also in the process of reading the Silmarillion, but I'm not getting very far

.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-17-2003, 11:21 PM

I just recently re-read Prince Caspian. Excellent book.

elvendrummer87 · 03-18-2003, 11:26 PM

i'm kinda in the middle of a million books right now...
Queen's Arrows by Mercedes Lackey; Eye of the World by Robert Jordan; Green Rider by Kristen Britain; One for the Money by Janet Evanovich; and Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.
Just finished Sword-Sworn by Jennifer Roberson- the whole six-book series about Tiger and Del is fantastic!!!

BeardofPants · 03-19-2003, 02:08 AM

Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds. I sure hope it gets less boring sometime.

Shadowfax · 03-19-2003, 03:51 PM

I have to finish "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding over Spring Break. I think it's an interesting book, but I find Golding's writing difficult to 'get into'.
