WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?

Posts

I'm reading Memoirs of a Geisha..again. way too poor to buy new books.

I'm also reading Bleach, but i don't know if that counts.
There's this place I've heard about called a lieberry that has books that you can take out for free. Or so I'm told. Must've just popped up recently.
true, i'm a moron.
i havent been back to my library since our family didnt return a couple of books, so now theres probably gonna be some kind of massive pricetag on them, if thats how it works anyway.

Dune Messiahby Frank Herbert. Bought the original five or so Dune books a while ago and I haven't got around to them until now.
i never read dune during my sci-fi phase, i feel like i have somehow missed out :/ (ps this is spiffs whatup orig)


I thought this was an alternate geodude account with the avatar and all.

But now that I know it's spiffs... Wanna make out?

And yeah Dune is supposed to be really good or something. I read the first one waaaaay back in seventh grade, though, so I don't remember much of it.

Strange Pilgrims by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

MythOS by Kelly McCullough

It's a very cool and unique blend of cyberpunk fantasy and Norse Mythology. Win-win in my eyes.
Art of War by Sun Tzu.

It's more of a manual on good historic war practices than a novel. I don't think I'll be reading this very long.
Any of you guys read Ted Dekker? Pretty much everything by him is excellent.
Currently, I'm trying to get myself to read through Shogun by James Clavell, but at over one thousand pages, I'm having difficulties with keeping my attention span well enough to actually read through the novel. Got through about one hundred and fifty pages so far, so I'm about one tenths the way through.

On the other hand, I've been trying to focus on writing my own fictional novels and such, but with my writer's block, well, it's difficult to finish something while you've got other ideas in mind. Even now, it's difficult to hold my attention span on my RPG project, but then again, I guess I'm a bit ADD.
Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist.
LtROI was better as a movie. Think this is a long enough time to merit a double post.

Neuromancer by William Gibson. The original cyberpunk. Really convoluted by my standards, but great once you get a grasp of what the author's trying to describe.
A Pale View of Hills by Kazuo Ishiguro
Pale View had very, very little plot. Kept me interested the whole way through (all 180 pages of it >_>) but by the end of it I wondered when something was going to happen. Well, it was still good enough to make me want to read more Ishiguro. Hear it's one of his less profound works.

The Soft Machine by William S. Burroughs. Hear it's like Naked Lunch with a plot. Beatnik homosexuals, feces-encrusted sex, drug addictions...

I have read 44 books since starting this topic. :D
Yellow Magic
Could I BE any more Chandler Bing from Friends (TM)?

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. ...enlightening. I never knew that Isaac Newton was such a weirdo.

I love that book. Read it 3 times.
I'm always trying to read things besides Murakami, but I read 5 pages in 2 days and get bored. Then I buy a Murakami book and I finish it in 2 days. I don't know what's going on.

Anyways, I just finished Dance Dance Dance, which I read while slowly slowly reading the Plague.
