What 📔book are you reading right now?

Yay! Another Pratchett reader! A guy that I work with got me and another girl hooked on Pratchett. Now we're trying to get another one of our friends to start...I slipped a copy of "Men at Arms" to my sister last week...trying to spread the joy!

I'm finishing Masquerade (2nd time) by Terry Pratchett. I'm also partway through Unfinished Tales (having trouble getting through some of that one). Just finished reading The Silmarillion (2nd time also). Before that, LOTR (I have no idea how many times I've read it....about 12 or 13 so far).

I just finished reading 'The veritas project, volume 1, The Hangman's curse' by Frank Peretti. Its a good book and I set my record in reading it in the fastest time I've ever read a book(probably 5 hours). Though it took my sister about 2 hours to read it .

reading book 2 of The Liveship Traders trilogy:Mad Ship by Robin Hobb. It's got some fairly horrid and tragic turns of events, but superbly written as always, and it fits nicely timewise between the other two trilogies, the Assassin one and the new Fool trilogy.

OK,Eliot. I'm on pg. 475, or something.Close to the end. But I wonder if anyone has read Beowulf. Probably that person w/ the screenname Grendel.

I've read parts of it, but not the whole thing.

I just finished The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett. I am now re-reading The golden compass by Philip Pullman

Eliot · Jan 15, 2004

Well, I finished The Great Hunt about a week ago, and NOW I'm waiting for my library to get The Dragon Reborn.

Right now I'm reading the Simlarillion

Woahh.. how crazy is that, that's what I'm reading too! And I just finished one by Terry Pratchett as well, only it was Night Watch, not Feet of Clay. *is freaked out*

Have you read the other two books, Niri? (in Pullman's trilogy, not Pratchett). What did you think of them?

I'm still reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman...writing a novel cuts down on my reading time.

Niirewen · Jan 17, 2004

I haven't read the other ones actually, as this is my first time reading Pullman's trilogy. I'm almost finished with The Golden Compass though, and I've been enjoying it. I don't have the other two yet, but I just got some baby-sitting money, so hopefully I'll be able to do some book-shopping soon.

I own Neverwhere, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. How do you like it? It doesn't really seem like my type of book, but I'll probably give it a try.

I'm reading and analyzing 'Macbeth'.

The last book in the trilogy is pretty polarizing, so I'm curious to hear how you like it. I'm loving Neverwhere. It's not the sort of thing I usually read either, but it is really fascinating and original.

Currently I'm dipping into "The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien." What a treat!

Golden Compass ? Here ( in the UK) the books are called Northern Lights, Subtle Knife and Amber Spyglass. I wonder why the title was changed....?
I have read them all and I think they are really good, meant for pre-teens but enjoyable anyhow.

and no I am not a pre-teen thank you very much

Niirewen · Jan 18, 2004

Well, I finished The Golden Compass yesterday, and loved it. I'll get the other two as soon as I can get to a bookstore. But, seeing as I might have to wait awhile (I won't get my license until next month.. so not being able to drive myself I'll have to wait until it's convenient for someone else to go) maybe I'll start on Neverwhere..

I wouldn't really say that they're meant for pre-teens....marketed to them, maybe, but most of the people I know who've read and loved them are adults. But, I hang out with a bunch of people who read YA fantasy in general. Limited by a genre, you should not be...

Niirewen · Jan 18, 2004

I wonder why the first book has two different titles? That's odd..

Rhiannon · Jan 18, 2004

Books often have different titles in the US than they do in the UK- Mostly it's a marketing thing. The His Dark Materials trilogy in the US is all objects; compass, knife, spyglass.
