I'm worried, are you some long lost AC comrade? My memory fails me....

 

[Wildwood]

Ahhhh, you knew me as Silva/Ferox back in the leafcull days. I didnt use this name until I switched to the dark side/tide

 

[jas_k1]

yup read raymond feists books when i was about 16 really enjoyed them they are big tomes though never have enough time now

 

[Munkey]

Out of sheer desperation from lack of reading material, i've nicked a few of my sister's girly 'love' books, you know the ones....the ones with the sparkly covers and about the girl who got mistreated, promises never to date again, meets amazing new guy, goes out again with old guy, is then convinced she loves new guy by guy/friend/event and leaves old guy to start new amazing life, featuring a promotion.

They're not half bad infact, if a bit predictable after you've read one. Interesting look into the womans psyche infact, at least thats my excuse

 

[charmsdark]

Currently reading Blood of the Fold by Terry Goodkind. 3rd book in a series of 6, and I can't put it down.

Always read fantasy novels, and haven't read any non-fantasy books since I was about 11 or 12 and borrowed The Belgariad books by David Eddings from a friend.

Got too many books that I'm waiting to read atm as I keep buying new books that I think seem good.

One of these day (whenever he finishes the series) I'm planning on reading all the Wheel of Time books back to back.
I've read the first 6 books, but then it started taking too long before the next one came out and I started reading other books in between and got a bit sidetracked.

 

[Reubs]

Just finished Intervention by Julian May again, her Many Coloured Land series is worth a look if you've done Feist / Jordan and are looking for what next.

Started Philip Pullman's Dark Materials series, seeing if the hype is justified.

Got Bill Bryson's 'science for dummies' book on the go somewhere when I find where I left it ...

 

[shanks]

Åsne Seierstad - Hundra och En Dag(tried looking up the english title by google and amazon but no luck, the title translates to one hundred and one days)

It's a autobiographic story of a norwegian war-correspondent(the author) and what happends to her before and during the iraqi war. The book starts in January and ends in April 03. Got it as a christmas present never having heard of her work and it surprised me in a good way. A quite personal look at how someone indepedent from either the Iraqi propaganda or the US/UK media experiences the war. A good read so far. Considering reading her earlier book "The Bookseller of Kabul" after reading this one, saw that it got great reviews.

 

[Hot Soup]

now starting on along came a spider
the first alex cross novel by james patterson

 

[Ala]

Currently reading Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray. So far I like it.
Oh yeah also reading Real Life Crimes. A magazine series, keeps getting sent here....up to #25 now....wonder if they'll stop sending them anytime soon...

Last book I read was Porno - Irvine Welsh (The sequel to Trainspotting) I liked it alot.

 

[Gengi]

Posthumous Douglas Adams anthology 'The Salmon of Doubt' so far it has been very entertaining, well edited, and I have not even reached the proto Dirk Gently novel yet

Later

 

[Doh_boy]

Currently I'm reading Harry potter 3 since I can't find the books I want to read. I've got The count of monte cristo, the life of pi and portrait of the artist to read and can't find them for toffee.

 

[mank!]

I'm currently reading Patrick Humphries' biography on Nick Drake. It's very interesting and very well written.

 

[inactionman]

Midnight tides, the new malazan book by Steven Erikson, quite good so far.

The Collins Good Writing Guide

 

[Cask]

Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution.

Although I couldn't ever give up bread completely I've found switching to wholemeal bread, pasta, noodles and ditching rice entirely has been pretty good for my figure. Not sure how good for you the hardcore 'no carb' diet is for you but I think some of his ideas are useful.

 

[SilverHood]

Midnight Tides (malazan book of the fallen 5) is out !
Scheduled to arrive from Amazon on Saturday... yeah baby

Currently reading Piece of Cake by Derek Robinson.
Top notch read, as is the sequel Hornets Sting (which is actually a prequel)

 

[dysfunction]

The Last Juror - John Grisham.

It started out ok but its now getting very boring.
Absolutely no suspense whatsoever. The story is just rambling on about peoples lives which are not even that interesting.

But I have to finish it in case I miss something :/
