What Book are you Currently Reading?

kingbriani · 11-14-2006, 10:02 PM

So what book(s) are you currently reading?? (For pleasure, we dont want to hear about your differential equations, organic chemistry, or history of bulgaria textbooks) I'll start, I'm currently reading book 3, The Dragon Reborn, of the Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. A decent series (so far, I've been warned it will start to drag on) but it is yet another addition to the genre that doesn't do for me what The Lord of the Rings did. Your turns!

Playboy: book of lingerie

Nikki · 11-14-2006, 10:11 PM

just the boring books like you mentioned, specifically the history of bulgaria

sbw · 11-14-2006, 10:15 PM

I'm currently reading Car And Driver December 2006. Very little character development, no plot. A pretty crumby book.

Ninjaneer · 11-14-2006, 10:32 PM

Ah... WOT was good. I got upto book 6 or 7 till I tired of it and R. J. was still in the process of releasing the rest. I sort of tired of it and sort of had better things to do so I didn't continue, and doubt I ever will. But it was a really good book. Book 3 was probably one of the best.

Currently reading ... slowly... Corporate Confidential, and The Art of the Start. Very S-L-O-W-L-Y.

I was in the middle of rereading the Lord of the Rings books (I read them back in jr high or so) when I tried those sudoku puzzles and became a bit addicted so I have been doing that in my reading time instead. My favorite author is John Irving, he has a really warped sense of humor.

Taittinger · 11-15-2006, 12:28 PM

I started Les Liaisons Dangereuses but distractions got in the way.

shimshimhada · 11-15-2006, 12:53 PM

What's a "book"?

MrSilver · 11-15-2006, 01:23 PM

The Protector's War

By S.M. Sterling.

obLu · 11-15-2006, 01:33 PM

I got sucked back into the Foundation series again. Was unpacking the book case (a year after moving in) and found it, thumbed through and got caught.

I'm watching this thread closely; I need new author recommends. I find it sad I'm re-reading something that I read 20 years ago.

ksfrogman · 11-15-2006, 01:52 PM

I'll tell you what book I'm certain I wouldn't read--the one O.J. Simpson is supposedly writing about the "hypothetical" murder of his ex-wife and Goldman.

Nope. 7days are totally BS. I'm working on that book for over a month.

I learned a little.

I can actually make simple conversations such as in airport, grap a cab, hotel, etc...

I just finished "A Journey to the Center of the Earth". Now I am reading "Moby Dick".
