Just finished the last book in the Stephen King series "The Dark Tower" and book 11 in the Robert Jordan series the "Wheel of Time". I was kind of disappointed with the way the "The Dark Tower" came to an end.
Now I am rereading "The Boat of a Million Years" by Poul Anderson
I'm still reading Anne Frank
The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
Has anyone here read Foucault's Pendulum? It's very interesting.
I am reading 1434. It's a story about a Chinese Fleet that traveled to Italy and kick started the renaissance. Interesting read.
Phillip Pullman - His Dark Materials-Northern Lights
Just finished Interview with The Vampire, by Anne Rice
Oh my, that's an old one. I just finished Black Sunday by Thomas Harris. It was so good I read it twice.
Nation by Terry Pratchett
For commuting I am reading A Personal Devil by Roberta Gellis
Just finished re- reading (for the umpteenth time) The Planet of Adventure Series - by Jack Vance - one of the greatest SF Writers ever !
And also - The Honourable Schoolboy - By John Le Carré
Currently reading two
The complete robot collect, Isaac Asimov
Halting State, Charles Stross
I have to say the stories by Isaac Asimov are intralling!
I *just* finished reading that book approximately 8 hours ago.Quote:

If you haven't read the Foundation series, just after the Robot stories would be the right time.
I'm reading 'Not Without My Daughter' by Betty Mehmoody
Thanks mendhak, Il look into that.
Dune. Again.
I have a collection of old classified newspapers from 2002, advertising houses and cars, if you are that bored.Quote:

Essential Psychopharmacology - Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications
After a rather bizarre read of the "American Gods", I'm now reading "The graveyard book" both from Neil Gaiman.
The latter book is very interesting and I'm quite engrossed in it.
I am reading this author.

Dead Until Dark - Charlaine Harris
I have just started Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land".
Somehow I missed this offering in HS. But I got the version with the secret, extra 60,000 words! bonus!
It will probably take me a while, since i am so easily distracted by shiny things, an there are no pictures.
Just finished The Sharing Knife : Horizon, the fourth book in the Sharing Knife
quartet by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Saga of Seven Suns. It's a 7-book series, I'm on book 3 now.
Very easy to read, although it's a big series. Fast paced story, no digressions, and very short chapters so the author doesn't ramble on at all. I really like the writing style.
I am reading a series of graphic novels by Neil Gaiman.
This is what I started with.
The Necroscope - By Brian Lumley - yet again !
Dust - By Elizabeth Bear - which was actually pretty good, not read much really good new Science Fiction, i generally just read the old stuff much better.
I quite Like Charles Stross though, he is another newer author that i have read.
An interesting read :afrog:
New Neil Gaiman stuff? I recall reading his sandman stuff years ago - it was great.Quote:

I'm a big Isaac Asimov fan though it's been a good number of years since I've read any of his books. A couple of my personal favorites of his are The Robots of Dawn and its sequel Robots and Empire. I highly recommend them for anyone who likes sci-fi. The second book introduces a new law of robotics that one of the robots comes up with.Quote:

I've read every one of the Clive Cussler novels. I particularly love the Dirk Pitt series. More recently though i've read The White Tiger, and now i'm reading Speaking In Tongues. I've been reading a book every 2 days or so for the past few months, so I can't even remember every title :lol:
I'm an extremely eclectic reader.
