Quoth The Illusionist:
Thank you, LAZ, for restarting this topic for us. I'll keep it up here since it tends to be popular and it's better than having to keep making new ones during the occasional slump.

And thou may have a cookie

I am not reading nothing right now. I read 5 mystery novels durring the fall term.

They were "murder on the oriental express", "the maltese falcon", "the big sleep", "the phantom lady", and "the cater street hangman".

With the next term starting, I will have to read more, if the professor makes us.

[Gi@nT]

Right now I am also reading nothing. Just finished a term wherein I read 6 Shakespeare plays and 9 novels; my eyes need the rest. Hopefully I'll have a little more time for free reading next semester. Maybe If I feel up to it I'll start the Bourne Supremacy. The Bourne Identity was a great book.

I'm currently reading Band of Brothers for my AP History class and also King Lear for my CP English class. They're both pretty decent books.

I'm in the middle of I, Robot (which I foolishly left in my apartment before leaving for my Parent's house for Christmas) and I've got a copy of Dune that I want to read, and then I want to pick up Neuromancer by William Gibson and Diary by Chuck Palahniuk. And that should keep me busy for a little while.

[Arcidius]

I'm actually reading a book on Budhism right now. Very interesting. Nothing else at the moment, but I should have a copy of MaximumPC any day now

[Useless Trivia Man]

Yorick, you won't be disappointed by Neuromancer. It's one of my favorite books, and the best I've read by Gibson.

Right now I'm working on Shadow of the Hegemon by Orson Scott Card, and after that I'll probably finally get around to reading Tom Clancy's latest in the Jack Ryan series, Teeth of the Tiger. After that, maybe I can finally start again on the Dark Tower series by Stephen King so I can read my copy of Wolves of the Calla that I got last Christmas.

Status: Deadzone, an attempt at getting back into my old tabletop wargaming hobby by reading a collection of short stories based around my favourite system.

Enjoyable, though ultimately quite dry and disjointed to read.

[Katiz]

I'm reading Sword of Shanara. Quite good for the moment, and apparently I have a nice long series after this to keep me busy.

[Donkey Punch]

Weird! I'm reading "Wishsong of Shanarra."

[Gi@nT]

Received "Between a Rock and a Hard Place" for Christmas, so far it's a pretty good read. For those of you who haven't heard of it, it's the story of the Colorado climber who was forced to cut off his own arm when he was pinned underneath a falling rock. Hopefully it will continue to be a good read.

[Ebow]

Currently reading "I Me Mine" by George Harrison. Good stuff. Flicking through Ringo's "Postcards From The Boys" every now and then too.

After this, I have the end of that Lennon book by Alan Clayson (I think) to read, as well as the other three in the set... then Going Postal. If I can be bothered, I'm not really into Pratchett anymore.

Some of the latest 40K anthologies aren't that great. I suggest the Gaunt's Ghosts series (they just rereleased it all with new covers and even a hardcover that collects several of the books up) and the Ciaphas Kain series (Caves of Ice and For the Emperor, for now). The Inquisition Wars (Xenos, Malleus, Hereticus) is worth a read. From there, read what sounds good, but you can probably skip the anthologies unless you get really bored.

[The Illusionist]

I only bought that one because it was the only book I knew of (besides the graphic novels) that were set on Necromunda, which just happens to be my favourite of the games.

Typically, I'd have bought one of William King's -Slayer series but I already have the whole set to date.

[WrittenDreams]

I have been reading the tales of chaucer and the ramayana of late. I should go read more in them both. tempted to reread the pilgrims passage or Beowulf.

[Gi@nT]

I definately recommend Beowulf. It takes a little while to get into the flow of it, but once you do it's a great read.

Yar, that's what I've heard. I'm a huge fan of Philip Dick, and a few friends of mine noted that I absolutely have to read it. So I ordered it from Amazon, I'll get it in a few days. :-)

And since we're on the subject of Beowulf, I also recommend Grendel, because that's a great read too.

[boppd]

currently reading tommyknockers and4 past midnight. (my readings been slowed a little by playing the new final fantasy on gameboy )

[ovaries]

right now i am reading twelve by nick mcdonnell. it's actually really fucking good. i'm also in the middle of smack by melvin burgess, which is fucking excellent, too.

[Cybercat]

Ok, this hasn't been accurate for months so I thought I'd better update it.

Currently reading the Otherland series by Tad Williams.

I'm reading The island of the previous day, by Umberto Eco. It was hard to get into, but once you are in, you can't get out:-)
It's a historic novel with philosophical influences, and it's one of eco's best!
