What book/manga etc are you reading at the moment?
I have at the moment been reading the "His dark materials" trilogy. Nearly finished it as well and still remains one of my favourite reads. Not so sure what i will read next.
So, what about you?

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
Just started it so I really can't say too much yet, but I anticipate it being a great book.

I just got the Extended Edition for all the Lord of the Rings movies for my birthday, so I'm re-reading that. Sometimes I also read Truman, by David McCullough.
J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century is a great book if you're interested in the author at all.

I am going back and forth between James Lee Burke's Jolie Blon's Bounce and McCallough's biography on John Adams. Both are pretty good.
I could probably state the top ten books that I'm reading right now, there's too many. But I won't. The one I've put most focus on in the last week would be "Book of Three". Lots of you wankers have you probably played Lys' rm2k adaption of it, which is a pretty cool game in its own right. The book is very excellent too! I've finished it a couple times in the past though.
I've also been chipping away at "Lila" by Robert Pirsig for the last couple months too.

I thought that was a very charming and generally pretty good series. Good choice man.

I'm reading Mein Kampf, which for those of you who don't already know is "My Life" which is a journal that Hitler kept about of course, his life. Yea I don't want to hear anybody complain at me for reading it and saying I support Hitler. I just have a thing for learning about people's lives and seeing their perspective on the way things turn out.
FILTHY FASCIST
I really liked Lila, but I know people who think it was a letdown.
I'm not reading anything right now. I like to read one thing at a time though. I can't imagine reading 10 things at the same time, unless they were all different types of things, like textbooks, non-fiction, current events, different genre of novels etc., but even that'd be a little strange.

I just finished reading the book Mosaic!
I would recomend it to any cult fan out there!
I wont even try blurbing the story because it's just to difficult! Very deep book about political scandal, war, family coruption etc...

I don't read fiction. Right now I am reading Colossus: Rise and Fall of the American Empire by Niall Ferguson. His basic thesis is that America has more or less a direct military and economic empire over huge parts of the world but is in danger of decline, and the United States should embrace rather than reject the notion of its liberal empire in order to promote stability in the developing world.
That books sounds really interesting Blitzen. There are a lot of "Amierka's dyiing!!!1!" books out there right now, so you'll have to let me know if this one turns out to be good.
I've been interested in some classical literature lately so I've been reading a book called Journey to the West ... well, its a series rather. The story and novel dates back to over a thousand years, I believe, but its still entertaining.

btw, I moved this to Artistic Licence... because I'm changing it to Artistic Licence & Literature.
But I thought Artistic License was for creations and not for discussing other peoples' creations. :'(

Sounds awesome man. I will probably add that to my list of books to read someday.

This sounds interesting. I too will add this to my list of books that are waiting to be read.
