| What am I currently reading...well, I'm re-reading Terry Pratchett's Reaper Man at the moment as a light read. I've also started reading Edward Rutherford's Russka as I'm curious to see how he treats Russian history overall (which is my area of interest/specialization) :) |
i'm reading novel called  but i'm reading the translated to Arabic version, & Book about Old Arabian Romance Poems . |
| ^ his other ones are good too...at least i enjoyed the ones i've read. i'm still reading lisa see's peony in love...even though i got it months ago....i really want to finish it but when i showed it to my cousin and summarized the story for her and told her about the part where i left off, she borrowed it from me even though i told her i wasn't finished with it.....  |
| If this is a man, The truce - Primo Levi Introduction to Political Philosophy - Jonathan Wolff The Broker - John grisham |
| Mixing up Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar series with Ursula K Le Guin's Left Hand of Darkness - I've got to say, flip-flopping between those two is a bit of a mind-bender. |
 |
| The Romance of Genji, by Murasaki Shikibu It was the first edition available in my language and I bought it as soon as it was released. I must agree with Yourcenar when she says "there was never anything better written in any literature" However, since this is an enourmous 1500 page first volume I can't really take it outside so I read in bus/subway/walking/class and I have to go to my "library" and get a smaller book to read at the same time. =p |

| I'm reading through The Odyssey for a second time; my ap english class asked us to read it over the summer AND read through it again during first quarter. It's a good story but it's kinda dull imo. |
| Reading the Scarlet Letter for school. Shit sucks; horrible plot. |
| Re-reading The Magic Kingdom for Sale series by Terry Brooks.. gotta love my fantasy/sci-fi books. |

Karura said: Reading the Scarlet Letter for school. Shit sucks; horrible plot. Read that out of my own free will. Couldn't get pass the first 40 or 45 pages, can't remember accurately. I was falling asleep every single time after a paragraph. Then I had my little sister read it to me, and surprisingly, this one of those books that you should hear. But after 2 pages she got tired so I dropped reading it. Also, couldn't find a good book, so I'm currently reading none. |
| Culture Warrior By Bill O'Reilly I can't say that I agree with much of his opinion, but it is a very interesting topic. Has anyone else read it? |
| I am reading The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett -- love it so far. It is just as fun as the movie adaptation (Humphrey Bogart version of course). Old school crime novels are the best. |
| Ayn Rands Atlas Shrugged. Bad and ridiculously overlong book. Don't get me wrong, I love tremendoulsy huge doorstoppers - if the pages are used well and for a purpose. Rand doesn't do that. She should keep to essays to getting her goddamned point across. Too bad I find her point ridiculous too, even if well-articulated in Galts speech toward the end (I skipped to it and read it, the whole 63 pages. She could just as well have cut out the other 1154 pages, they're useless). The characterization is silly and the writing, by the Gods, the writing is so damn bad. At least there seems to be an okay plot. Well, have to finish it anyway. Might get some extra points of pathos (fat chance) through sheer size. Also thinking about picking up some John Ringo books, to get a clear picture of exactly how bad literature can possibly be. |

| 2001: A Space Odyssey. In all these years, I had never read it so I decided to give it a try and so far, it's awesome. |

| The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. for school. boring.. |
| The Iliad. thanks a lot literature class! -_- |
| The new Mass Effect book. Good so far, but hasn't really grabbed me. |
| The Right Hand of Evil by John Saul. I only read the first page so far. It's just one of my grandma's old books that were laying around. D : I read Nightshade by him though, and enjoyed it, so I'll give this one a try. |
