What was the last or is the current story you're reading?

[xfMike]

I've been re-reading (well, skimming would be the better choice of word here) through Max Brooks World War Z again.

i just picked it up yesterday, and started reading it today. (only a few pages, i had other things to do). i've been hearing from alot of people that it is amazing though.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

yeah it is. i mean come on it starts on chapter 49 damn it :)

you should check out lullaby after survivor if you like it. basically the same style if not a little more morbid

[Tendoza]

The Dark Half

For Whom the Bell Tolla by Hemingway. Great Book

No way! I'm reading that next. I checked it out of my library today!

[battle_axe_of_doom]

lol i promise its purely coincidence :)

also this is a ****ing good idea for a thread. this might sound stupid but i've only recently taken up reading for funz and am always looking for great books to read

(i took up reading for funz after my senior yr english teacher gave me a book. cliche i know but its the damn truth)

[tucsonovernite]

Dan Simmon's Hyperion

[hitdevil]

I just finished The Kid Who Ran For President(good book). Tonight I think I'll reread Catcher in the Rye, my favorite

[Kungfutzu]

I'm halfway through my 20-somethingth read of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead". It only takes an hour or so to read, so it's like fast food for the existentialist mind.

Splinter Cell :Checkmate By David Michaels/Tom Clancy

[Daveil]

Bram Stoker's - Dracula. This is one of the few books that I have had to buy several copies of from wearing out the spine reading it too much. lol:cool:

[MartyMcFly]

I'm reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. Just a few more chapters to go. Not as exciting as I hoped it would be, but it is pretty good.

He gave away the plot twist a little too soon though. Now I just want to finish it because there's nothing left to find out.....as far as I know.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

after reading his short amount of works i'd have to say dan brown is pretty bland. it seems as if he's written the same book over and over. i can excuse the langdon-series for doing that, but digital fortress and that other book are all basically the same thing.

The Dark Half
why would you torture yourself with that garbage ?
im re-reading fear and loathing in las Vegas at the moment

[rebelace]

I am currently reading the halo books. I am on the first one right now.

[ZkDotNet]

I haven't read anything in a while... so the last thing I read was either a novel one of the following three authors (and, it'd be a re-read): Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson or Chuck Palahniuk (portland, yo).

I just realized that two out of those three died recently.... :/ Seriously, best authors of our time.

[WingsOfSteel]

I recently got into the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Right now I'm on Sourcery.

[Chthonic]

H.P. Lovecraft's "The Unnamable". Short story. Not one of his best.

Just finished Lies, INC. by Phillip K. Dick and Im now reading Battle Royale by Koshun Takami, both really good reads

[DShiz1029]

Kite Runner for my Humanities class.

[IErrantVentureI]

A Lesson Before Dying - Something Gaines.

I just finished my 4th re-reading of Improbable by Adam Fawer. I love that book. I'm probably going to start reading 1984 after I finish To Kill a Mockingbird (I have to read TKaM for my English class).

How do you like it? I read the first 10 pages (to preview it) and I thought it seemed interesting.

[ross_whitten]

It seems pretty goood so far, just a smudge confusing though.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

idk. i thought it was a good book that was too preachy. maybe it had to do that i started "reading for funz" with simpler books like dan brown and **** so the whole metaphorical **** wasn't really interesting to me

[Vilius]

I'm not really into preachy books too, but my friend said I should check it out (along with Dune, which I haven't read yet), and he has a preety good taste in books, so I'm going to give it a chance. (Run-on sentences galore!)
