What are you reading atm?

[Xtro]

Just finished Band of Brothers (that the series was based on of course) and went on to read D-Day by the same author (whose name I've forgotten argh!).

Good reads, some funny tales amongst all the horror.

 

[Fex]

Just finished reading The Stars Tennis Balls - Stephen Fry.

Great book and a worthwhile read although the first few chapters are a bit slow.

Just starting The Sword Of Shinara - Terry Brooks as im sick of getting pestered by my parents to read it.

 

[mr.Blacky]

Terry Pratchett - Lost Continent and Nightwatch
David Weber & Steve White - Crusade
Harry Turtledove - Worldwar & Colonisation (serie)
Tad Williams - Stone of Farewell (serie)

only trouble I had with Feist is that when I lent a few of his books out the troubles I had getting them back lol.

[doh_boy]

Just started reading the white hotel by Dylan Thomas... its a bit strange

 

[old.Fweddy]

Just finished Frederick Forsyth - Icon and started rereading The Fourth Protocol by him too.

 

[caLLous]

John Case - The Genesis Code. It's hard reading, but I'm about a quarter of the way in and I'm starting to reap the rewards, the story is really moving and it's a fantastic book so far.

I've read that, not sure I 'got' it but still enjoyed it. I'd recommend the dubliners by Joyce(which is nothing like catcher. )

Just started Moby Dick yesterday for research purposes intending to skim the most imortant chapters and am actually finding myself enjoying it, not as boring or long winded as I thought it was going to be.

Read that last year, superb book It is a bit hard work in places though but well worth pesevering with.

Yeah it does pick up... well... you also get used to Peake's style after a while and get hooked on the story Sometimes though he writes amazingly, really good at conveying a sense of scale and wonder sometimes - I remember the bit where Steerpike first climbs out onto the roof of Ghormengahst and describes this city-sized castle stretched out which, even though he's lived in it all his life he's never before realised how enourmous it was

 

[fatdragon]
