What 📔book are you reading right now?

Oooh, I've read Magic Steps and some other books by Pierce. They were good.:) Right now i'm reading Dune by Frank Herbert, and it's great, the best book in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre(and possibly any genre) that I've read since LotR. Check out my Dune thread in S&B.:D
 
Last night I started Ombria in Shadow by Patricia McKillip- I'm halfway through and I love. McKillip at her best; it also has a fantastic Kinuko Y. Craft cover.
 
I am currently in the middle of:
re-reading TTT
re-reading The Bourne Identity
re-reading The Taming of the Shrew
re-reading The Secret Garden

some people say I do too many things at once...but I think it just adds spice

re-reading The Secret Garden

I have read the secret garden beofre and I have the movie,I cried every time too,but I also read The Little Princess by(I believe but correct me if I'm wrong)Francis Hudgson Brunette I love her books,but I have the little princess movie too and I always cry at the end.
 
I'm always reading multiple books. Always. Not happy otherwise. I finished Ombria in Shadow and I am now working on Black Swan, White Raven, edited by Terry Windling & Ellen Datlow and The Giver by Lois Lowry. I've also decided I really need to read some Virginia Woolf- we must have something by her somewhere in this house.

I just watched 'The Secret Garden' (the Hallmark movie) for the first time in forever last night (wow, it really was Colin Firth playing the adult Colin at the end!) and decided I needed to re-read the book- It's been *counts on fingers* eight years.
 
Im reading the Reurn of The King, which I'm almost done and I am also reading Barbarian Isle.
 
Beauty by Robin McKinley, and slowly working my way through Mere Christianity by CS Lewis
 
I've been tearing through Richard Bachman's book Roadwork this week, while also working through Stephen Jay Gould's Tragedy and Triumph in Mudville, while obsessively reading and re-reading T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land and a lot of W.H. Auden (from whom I took my current...whatever one calls that little message above one's avatar.)
 
I'm currently reading two books

Closing Time - Joseph Heller
and
Witches Abroad - Terry Pratchett

The really annoying thing is that with loads of school work I just don't have the time nowadays to read that often. Argh! :mad:
 
I have to read "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" for English. I wish i could just watch the movie!
 
I just got The Letters of JRR Tolkien even though its not a story its great information, I am re-reading The Prince by Machiavelli, and have started some of Aristotles' works. I am looking to buy all 10 books in HOME that I dont have.
 
My English class just finished reading The Giver, and I think they all died, what do you think Rhiannon? Don't worry Freedom, after the first couple of chapters, 20,000 Leagues gets better.:D Verne's one of my favourite authors, what a genius.
