I've been tearing up the books lately, but right now I'm close to finishing "Chickenhawk".

What's everyone else reading these days?

Still going through Cryptonomicon, same as the last thread. Just a few hundred more pages, and then I think I'll start some of the recommendations from the recent sci-fi thread.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a book about creative writing, and I try to read a few pages from Funk and Wagnall's Standard Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology, and Legend each day.

I bought this book "Snow Falling On Cedars" a while back but never got around to reading it. I want to start but I've been kinda lazy with life lately.

Hm, "Why the Rest Hate the West," "Night" by Elie Wiesel (finished), "The Last Enchantment" by Mary Stewart (great series about Merlin and King Arthur) and "Captivating" (finished) by John/Stacy Eldridge have been my latest (last month or so).

I just finished Treasure Island for about the fifth time.

Leafing through the Reader's Digest Book of Facts again. Again again.

Just started Asimov's Foundation.

A number of interesting articles from my church's website.

Just finished Dragons: The Greatest Stories edited by Martin H. Greenberg.
