Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra. He wrote one of my favourite books (Red Earth and Pouring Rain) so I figured I'd check this out. I doubt it will be anywhere near as epic, but hopefully still enjoyable.

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stevenson. I got about 200 pages in and got stuck. Combination of being sidetracked by other stuff and the plot developing so slowly in the book.

 

[Descartes]

Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body by Neil Shubin on my Kindle 2.

 

[amdhunter]

Car repairs for dummies.

The Great Gatsby .. I lost my old copy.. and damn.. this soft cover version was like 15 bucks.

 

[eplebnista]

Just After Sunset by Stephen King

 

[xboxist]

Wastelands -- compilation of short stories about the Apocalypse and life thereafter.

 

[ggnl]

The Wind Up Bird Chronicle bu Haruki Murakami. I already owned a copy but thought I lost it, so I bought another one. Of course I found the old copy a few days after buying the new one.

I think the last book I actually bought was Llama Llama Misses Mama (for my daughter) but I'm currently reading Redemption Ark by Alastair Reynolds.

Sweet, hope you like it. I haven't cracked my copy yet. The other book of his I mentioned is absolutely epic, so you may want to give it a shot if you like his writing style.

Shadow of the Giant - Orson Scott Card

Great series

Watchmen graphic novel at the same time, if that counts...

I picked up an American History book (to 1877) yesterday at the school's "Yard Sale" of out-dated textbooks. For $.99 I figured it would be a decent book for use while on "the throne."

outliers by malcolm gladwell.
