[John]

I'm reading "The First Man In Rome" by Colleen McCulloch. It hasn't really gripped me yet, but I shall persevere.

 

[JingleBells]

I've just finished reading the first two books of the JetLag Travel Series; Molvania: A Land Untouched by Modern Dentistry & Phaic Tan: Sunstroke on a Shoestring, both are fucking hillarious.

So I've just decided to restart reading Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything", as I'd started reading it shortly after it was first released, and stopped for some reason, it's a very interesting book IMO.

3/4 of the way through the 2nd book of Robin Hobbs Liveship traders.

Really into it, I didn't think it could get any better after her Assassin trilogy but it has.

 

[Jupitus]

Erm assasin trilogy has a sequel trilogy now Cal - also very good (if not better than both her previous series)

Just finished reading the latest Terry Brooks effort - a sci-fi/horror thingy which was rather good. I also recently read the latest Feist book which was ok (think he's running out of steam now) and I'm now halfway through the Terry Goodkind book - Chain fire.

The recent Pratchett book was also funny - well worth a read (kinda tails off a bit towards the end tho).

Got Nick Hornby's book to go next - A Long Way Down. looking forwards to reading that..

One Shot by Lee Child

Yeah so it's not an epic novel .. I'm enjoying it very much.

 

[Mobius]

The Picture of Dorian Gray.

 

[DaGaffer]

Sharpe's Devil. I've read the whole series over the last 3-4 weeks.

I agree about the Feist books Goose, it just seems like the old characters from the start under a different name.

I started reading the liveships last Wednesday and have been hooked, I am looking forward to finish them, so I can start the new Assasin ones and read Stan Nicholls final book of his Quicksilver Trilogy.

 

[Wij]

The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Top Book

The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins.

Top Book

The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins.

Saw that the other day, was tempted but figured it was preaching to the converted with me (he he) so what was the point?

 

[mank!]

i'm currently reading john peel's autobiography, but i've not read much of it lately. i've also had to read pride & prejudice for english, it's fucking gash and i really really really dislike it.

 

[Tom]

Dead Air by Iain Banks.

Also reading 'I know you got Soul' by Jeremy Clarkson as I wanted something to read on the plane and I'd forgotten the Banks book

You might enjoy it

Gives you some nice ammo if you ever get into a debate and a few interesting things to think about. Anyway, what's wrong with being shown how right you are ?

 

[throdgrain]

Sharpe's Devil. I've read the whole series over the last 3-4 weeks.

Im almost embarrassed to say I have all 21 books in that series They are a good read though.

 

[moomin]

Been reading Iain M Banks, gone through 3 books so far

Use of Weapons (the best so far)

Consider Pheobos (mixed additude, don't expect a happy ending!!!)

The algebraist (just finished big book interesting ideas, I got the Big secret way way before it was revealed)

Gonna get some more books, I also like Tom Clancy books, the best is "Without remorse" extremely kick ass.

My sisters got hook on wheel of time gone through 6 books in 2 months

 

[Trancor]

Currently 'Wintersmith' and 'Of Fire and Night' when I get a chance. Need reading glasses now though. What next slippers and a pipe!

 

[Lazarus]

gone through a lot of books in the last few weeks.

Trudi Canavan - books 1 and 2 of the Age of the Five series :
Priestess of the White (Age of the Five)
Last of the Wilds (Age of the Five)

And also James Clemens series (Banned and the Banished)
books 1 and 2 - these (I think) are REALLY good.

 

[Louster]

The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins.

Tried Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenom - Daniel Dennett? I'm half way through, some pretty interesting ideas.

 

[TWS]

John Peels Autobiography

Got to the bit about a 'Radio 1 roadshow' at Mallory Park yet Mank? I nearly wet myself reading that bit.

 

[Lazarus]

reading my birthday cards and NOT the birthday thread i DIDNT get

[/subtle hint]

 

[babs]

I've just finished The First Chronicles Of Druss The Legend - David Gemmell (which I really liked btw, my first dip into the series).

I'm now going through The Year Of Our War by Steph Swainston, it's a bit different and very good.

Other than that I recently re-read The Hollow Man by John Dickson-Carr (no, nothing to do with the film....) and am currently going through Papa La Bas by the same author. Anyone into their 'Locked Room Mysteries' should read The Hollow Man immediately.
