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 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.

Currently reading "Lies and the Lying Liars That Tell Them" by Al Franken. GREAT BOOK!

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. :|

Yesterday I picked up The Counte of Monte Cristo for future reading.
