The 'What are you reading at the moment' thread

[mulder]

Started Feast for Crows today, and I feel like this will be a loooong read too like Storm of Swords.

[MARS]

Yeah especially since it's the worst book in the series.

[Aarah]

Flatland: A romance of many dimensions.
Its about 'life' as told from the perspective of a square living in a 2 dimensional plane and the hierarchy that exists based on what shape (class) you are. Its an odd but interesting read so far!

[Dohva.]

Yeah especially since it's the worst book in the series.

I have no idea how so many people not only stomach--but are able to stay awake through those books. No thank you.

My celebrity crush Joe Abercrombie has a new story out. *rubs hands together* I will download it as soon as I finish Brandon Sanderson's novella.

[The SheoDovah]

Darren Shan Vampire Rites. Tis books 4-6 in one book. Finished the first lot this morning.

[Jeelius-Tei]

I quit Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to read The Hobbit instead. After all, Lord of the Rings: Online should make more sense now, after reading it...

[cowleyj]

Newtonian Mechanics by A.P.French, one of the recommended books for my uni course. Pretty good, if a bit dull. It explains the principles well and goes into a good amount of detail.

[Fiar]

Well fack, I just finished Rurouni Kenshin. So sad, I loved this series as a kid, happy I enjoy it as much as an adult. Now on to the next series!

[The SheoDovah]

Darren Shan's Lake of Shadows. Finished Vampire War yesterday. Tis excellent.

[Dirty Spaceman]

I read The Catcher in the Rye a few weeks ago for an English project, then Rick Riordan's The House of Hades last week. Now I've started Angels & Demons.

[Sav]

Just finished The Great Gatsby

I'm also 1/4 of the way done with A Clash of Kings

[The SheoDovah]

Percy Jackson and the lighting thief. Finished reading the entire Darran Shan saga books. Am enjoing PJATLT so far.

[scribbane]

Last time I posted in here I was reading for school, and this time is no different. So at the moment:

The Merchant of Venice-Shakespeare
Faust-Goethe
Fences-August Wilson
Play it as it Lays-Joan Didion
Trout Fishing in America-Richard Brautigan
Don Quixote-Cervantes
Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice 4th Ed-Charles Bressler

This selection is just over the past two weeks. Next week I will have another whole list of things I have to read. I enjoy most of what I am reading, but I don't get to read for my own pure enjoyment anymore. I've almost stopped reading for fun, because all I do for class now is read, so when I do get some time to myself, I don't want to read anymore. Hopefully a time comes again when I can read what I want, when I want.

[The SheoDovah]

Terry Pratchett's The Truth. I picked this up months ago but due to Darren Shan and Percy Jackson it just remained unread untill earlier this week! Too soon to form an opinion.

[Dirty Spaceman]

Recently started Xenocide by Orson Scott Card.

[Dohva.]

Just finished The Great Gatsby

I'm also 1/4 of the way done with A Clash of Kings

The Great Gatsby is an amazing read. Kind of hard to get through at first, but rewarding. I'm still reading Brandon Sanderson's novella...but I need to hurry up and finish it so I can move on to my famous person crush Joe Abercrombie's new novel. Sigh.

[Jeelius-Tei]

The day before yesterday I finished the Hobbit. Now it's time to read the Lord of the Rings.

[Lord Cluttermonkey]

Doktor Faustus by Thomas Mann.

[Norroen Dyrd]

The Phoenix of Albion ( English Renaissance in the Wake of the Pestilence of 1348 ) by Stephen E. Seale.

[MARS]

I'm loaded with books at the moment. Finished Skulduggery Pleasant: Kingdom of the Wicked by Derek Landy last night, and started Lockwood by Johnathan Stroud today. Fantasy/teenage novels I power through for relaxation. More serious stuff I'm reading back-to-back: Open City by Teju Cole and A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments by David Foster Wallace. I have a pile of other stuff that needs to be read, too.

[The SheoDovah]

Warhammer:The chronicles of Malus Darkblade vol 1. It's interesting and can see myself enjoying it. Also have the enforcer onimbus to read.

[DerangedPickle]

I'm on my second readthrough of A Song of Ice and Fire, I'm near the end of A Storm of Swords. Seriously if you haven't read this series I would highly reccomend it.

[mulder]

Aaaand finally finished Feast for Crows, what with schoolwork and everything, so moving on to Dance with Dragons. It will probably take me even longer for me to finish this one as it's huge and exams are coming up.

[ReeceH]

I'm on my second readthrough of A Song of Ice and Fire, I'm near the end of A Storm of Swords. Seriously if you haven't read this series I would highly reccomend it.

I've never understood how anyone could enjoy these books, I despised them (although admittedly, I only read the first book). Each to their own though

I've just started 'Island in the Sea of Time' by S.M.Stirling. Really enjoying it so far.

[Dirty Spaceman]

Recently finished The Count of Monte Cristo as well as an Agatha Christie story (Peril at End House), and I'd just started Great Expectations when that was derailed by an influx of books from Christmas. I'm now alternating between The Walking Dead comics (Compendium One) and the Ron Burgundy "biography". It's worth mentioning that I also got a full boxed set for A Song of Ice and Fire... and considering the mixed opinions I've seen about those books in this thread alone, I'm hoping I enjoy them once I get around to reading them.
