soooo...whatchya readin?
 

i know lots of us pixies like to read (when they aren't smutting around that is:p ), so i thought we could share our reads here.

fiction or non, good articles, whatever, just post it.

or, if you've read a good book lately, give the rest of us worms a recommendation.

right now i'm reading imajica (clive barker). really enjoying it so far. just finished king's latest gunslinger installment, song of susanna. it only took me about a day and a half so you can see it was an easy read but it was great. can't wait for the last book to come out so i can finally (after what seems like 1,000 years of waiting) see what happens at the tower. oh, and also reading a romance, to balance out imajica, a useful affair by stella cameron (hey, a girl needs her tall dark and handsomes every now and again).

I'm reading Twelve Mile Limit by Randy Wayne White part of his Doc Ford series kind of a mystery slash thriller

AH! No spoilers about Song of Susannah please! :) I'm on the waiting list at the library. I'm so glad that he finished the series, the rumors that he wasn't going to were scaring me for awhile.

Anyway. I'm currently making my way through the repertoire of Philip Roth, who is the favorite author of my favorite professor. It's been good so far, he's slightly naughty, makes for interesting reads. I'm reading American Pastoral right now, just started it, but it's good so far. The only downside that I can see - not for me - is that he makes a lot of Jewish references that may be beyond reach for many readers. But it's not the whole story, and if you care to so much, you could always look the references up. Anyway, I recommend him. Good reading.

Just finishing "Anyone You Want Me To Be" by John Douglas. It's about the first reported internet serial killer. Dayum what a mean sumbich.

Just finished Necessary Illusions by Noam Chomsky, currently reading Chaos by James Gleick and Believing In Something and Nothing by Geoff Heath.

As well as a technical computing book or 6 :p

I'm catching up on all my professional journals. Nothing like sitting around the the pool with a hot copy of The Reading Teacher or Teaching Exceptional Children.

I just finished Don Quixote and picked up Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead.

I'm in the process of reading "Perdido Street Station" by China Miéville. I have started this book three times in the last year but for some reason or other haven't finished. Now that all the rest of my books are burried in boxes, I have vowed that I will finish this before I go digging for something else to read! The funny thing is that it is a genre I love and what I have read so far is well written and interesting, I have no idea why I haven't been able to finish it yet. Plus the jacket photo of this guy is great! He is cute. ;)

Oh, four or five different things as is usual for any given point in my life. Usually, something in the realm of science-fiction, something having to do with military history, the latest issue of "Reptiles" magazine, some religion's holy book, and occasionally, I will read some general fiction.

I love to read. I recently finished "Fried Green Tomatoes", never having seen the movie before... it was such a fun book!

Right now I'm reading nursing assistant textbooks.

I've read a couple of different Fannie Flag books....I think "Welcome to the World Baby Girl" was one I really liked.

I'll check it out, Lil... I like her style for sure.

Another book I've recently read and loved was "The Secret Life Of Bees", by Sue Monk Kidd

FL~ The ladies in my Bunco group loved that one too.

Wise ladies... I miss Bunco.

I gave each of my daughters a copy of that book for Christmas, they loved it too.

New set of building drawings, specifications and requests for proposal.

Anything and everything that falls into my hands.

Just started (finally) Red Rabbit.

No, gekkogekko,

Red Rabbit is not Red Dragon scaled down.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Reading a non fiction book called "Tommy" at the moment. Based on material taken from war diaries, it recounts the first world war from the typical British soldier who was known as Tommy Atkins.

SO you don't want me to talk about Susannah going to _______ or Eddie and Roland when they __________ or what Jake does with __________... :p

I enjoyed it and am just ITCHING for book VII.

Dammit Aqua, you spoiled it all for me so I had to read it and finish it this morning :D

I'm starting up Fahrenheit 451 again. Even if I ignore Michael Moore's movie, it just seems appropriate right now...

I'm a total book worm..and am actually re-reading King's " 'Salem's Lot" :)

Hehe, *is anxiously awaiting the last book* I finished Song for Susannah...not bad, but I thought wasn't as filled w/ action, horror and suspense as say, wizard and glass perhaps?

"The Accidental Buddhist" by Dinty Moore. :)

A very fun read.

Just finished "The Hours" and just started, "The Bridges of Madison County"....

I'll have to check that out...I loved his stew.


I'm in the middle of Kellerman's Devils Waltz, an Alex Delaware novel, and wrapping up DeMille's Gold Coast for the second time.

Dusted off copies of "The Bourne Identity", "The Bourne Supremecy" & "The Bourne Ultimatum". Re-read some biographies. the Harry Potter books and some funny, light mysteries.

Just started "Jennifer Government" by Maxx Barry. Just finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban for the 5th time to prepare for seeing the movie hopefully soon. Also have been reading from a book of short stories by Neil Gaiman called "Smoke and Mirrors".

just wanted to pop in to recommend crichtons' state of fear. i haven't finished it yet but i'm really enjoying it. timely and interesting, since he cites facts and footnotes.

I just finished Sea Glass by Anita Shreeve. I really enjoyed it. Nice change of pace, historical fiction but without a sappy happy fairytale ending

I just got through reading:The Davinci Code by Dan Brown.It is pretty good as a mystery novel but the real interest is in explaining the secret rumours that have been around for any years. Next in line I'd like to read Democracy Matters by Prof.Cornel West. Still saddened by the passing of Susan Sontag.

I'm reading Just a Couple Of days by Tony Vigorito right now just finshed off a book from one of my favotire authors Fluke by Christoher Moore

I'm reading Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner... I enjoy her books, but am having a bit of difficulty keeping all the characters straight in this book - maybe I shouldn't keep reading it late at night.

I am just finishing up "The Stand" by Mr. King (3rd time) and intend to start the Lemony Snickets "A Series of Unfortunate Events". We got the series (all 11 books) from Ebay for our daughter (they were 1st on her Christmas list) and she has read all 11 books over the holiday break! Which is really an amazing thing as she was in a special reading class because she just didn't "get it". It was really neat to see the light bulb go on over her head last year...she is in 5th grade and is reading at a 9th grade level... :D

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum mysteries and F. Paul Wilson's "The Keep". Also, on the recommendation of my son, I have begun reading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Not quite what I've read before, but I've an open mind. I'd also like to ask a question. Many years ago in junior high school, we were supposed to read "Lord of the Rings". Somehow, I picked up a copy of "Bored of the Rings". Not quite the same book. :o But interesting, nonetheless. Does anyone have a copy or have you read it?
