Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which is insane and has no paragraph breaks and the sentences are pages long. I'm thinking one section every weekend.

Swann's Way by Marcel Proust on audiobook. Very strange. Like listening to a person think. A very obsessive-compulsive, paranoid, sheltered person.

Both the above require very long breaks between sections. Phew.

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, which is cool so far, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. What is the appeal of this book if you aren't interested in doing lots and lots of drugs?

EDIT: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Seems very optimistic so far. Kinda reminds me of Richard Bach, but much better. And the author advocates downloading the book so that's cool.

Terry Pratchet's Discworld series.

When the least they could do to you was everything, then the most they could do to you suddenly held no terror.

I've been reading along while watching the show. So far the show has been impressively loyal to the book. The book obviously goes into more detail though.

Ohh! Reading! I am reading Mathematics for the Million.
It is a semi-long book about the history of mathematics,algebra, etc.
It is very interesting!
