Just started reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. I also have The Da Vinci Code which I'll read next...

What are you reading?
 
Currently: Cosmos by Carl Sagan

Just finished:

Flim-Flam! Psychics, ESP, Unicorns, and Other Delusions - James Randi
The Faith Healers - James Randi (this one will make you mad!)
The Mask of Nostradamus: - James Randi
The Demon Haunted World - Carl Sagan


I am also starting book three of George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" series.
 
Not reading anything at the moment. I got done with "Fast Food Nation" a few weeks ago for school, and I was thinking of re-reading "Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana" for like the fourth or fifth time. Very good book 🙂.
 
half-way through The Two Towers (re-reading it for the first time in 5 years). Going to finish up the LotR trilogy, possibly read The Silmarlion (if I can get through it), and then read the last couple Ayn Rand books that I haven't read yet.
 
I'm planning to read "Blue Truth" my Cherokee Paul McDonald, and I just started reading Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" online.

I liked that one. He really was able to go back to when Jack was a younger guy and grasp what his mental state would have been at that time.

I just ordered "Millionaire Next Door" and "The Book of Inside Information: money, credit cards, marriage, etc, etc" ... one was like 94 cents plus 3.50 shipping and the other was $4 plus $4 shipping so my total $12 shipped to my door for both books from amazon.com...woot!

Yeah, it was definitely one of his better stories. Once he started cranking them out, the books just didn't hold my attention like Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising.
 
I just bought two Asterix comic books. 😀 Right now my reading is mostly all school work, so I don't really feel like doing much other reading.
 
I am currently engrossed in the entire compilation of Captain Underpants...........
Humorous and all great reads for me and my 7yo son😀

Captain Underpants and Proffesor Poopypants is a highlight of the series :shocked:
 
Slogging through Dracula by Bram Stoker. God that book is boring! I was supposed to have read it for a class this year, never did get around to it.

Just finished off some light reading lately.
The Floating Zombie by D.F. Jones. Does not date well (written 1950s) and was not that good. Was exciting only in so much as you care to see how it ends. The characters sucked.
Epitaph in Rust by Tim Powers. Very cool book. Reading that, it's easy to see where he got some of his ideas for his later book Dinner at Deviant's Palace. Quite well written and the story for the most part does not come all together until the end.
Genome by Matt Ridley. Utterly facinating book that everyone should read.

I might toss in Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space into my reading order before finishing Dracula. (Anything to add some spice to that.) What I really want to get my hands on though are some Iain M. Banks novels, but they're pretty much not aviailable in North America, and when they are it's at outrageous prices. :|
 
i'm reading amy tan's "the bonesetter's daughter."

just got through nicholas sparks "a bend in the road."

i'm such a girl. hehe.
 
Currently: Deception Point by Dan Brown

After that, I'll read his fourth book.

Yesterday I picked up The Counte of Monte Cristo for future reading.
 
The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco

My wife and I host a book club at our church.

I was an English major in college...got burned out. Read mostly tech books now. Have Websters close by with this book of Eco's....good grief....forgot most of the ten dollar words...sad sad.
