Starship Troopers/ Heinlein
Sci-fi
Awesome book... second read-through, one of my favs

Morality Play/Barry Unsworth
Medieval murder mystery

1. Holes by Louis Sachar
2. Fiction
3. Yeah, it's interesting so far. They are making a movie out of it and a lot of people recommended it to me to I figured I better read it before the movie comes out and ruins it for me! 🙂 It's a book geared towards teens tho.
 
The USSR Olympiad Problem Book: Selected Problems and Theorems of Elementary Mathematics
by D.O. Shklarsky, N.N. Chentzov and I.M. Yaglom

Math

Yup, pretty cool stuff.
 
I would be if I had any books to read.

The last few I read:

Clancy - Red Rabbit
Grisham - The King of Torts
Grisham - The Summons

Problem is they don't last me long, the Grisham books are an evening, & the Clancy book I read over a few evenings.

Not reading anything currently (I used to read a lot more than I currently do), but the last book I read was:

Robert Heinlein - The Cat Who Walks Through Walls
Sci-Fi
excellent book.. kind of a sequel to his The Number of the Beast, and also in the same universe(es) as To Sail Beyond the Sunset. When Heinlein wrote those, he created a device that allowed him to sort of blend all the characters and universes that he'd created together, to interesting effect. Not the deepest material, but fun reading.

I will soon be re-reading David Gerrold's "The War Against the Chtorr" series, which is amazing. It details an aggressive alien ecology's invasion of the Earth, and humanity's attempt to get to the bottom of it to have some hope of fighting it.
 
1) A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking
2) nonfiction/theoretical physics
3) Interesting; halfway through it in a few days. Lots of new terms, like the various kind of quarks, but it's...not as tough reading as I'd heard it was.
 
1) The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
2) Sci-fi
3) Just read the intro so far but it was recommended by my aunt who I highly admire for her previous recommendations.
 
1. The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway
2. Fiction
3. Some of em are really good, but alot are crap. I prefer his novels.

I use to read alot, but no time anymore. Would read 4 or 5 books a month, now I'm lucky if I get that many in a year.
 
Currently I am reading:

The Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations
Non-Fiction
So far, it's alright. It's sort of pleasure reading. It is for geo-politics, though we can read several books and I'm doing it way before it's due because I want to.

 
Band of Brothers/ Stephen Ambrose - Non-fiction - good, of course
We Were Soldiers Once... and Young - Joe Galloway/Harold Moore - Non-fiction - good, but a little hard to follow and visualize
Guns, Germs, and Steel - Jared Diamond - Non-fiction - good, interesting ideas

With two feet of snow on the ground, maybe this is a good time to make some headway through these.
