What 📔book are you reading right now?

[Hammersmith]

The Black Arrow by Robert Louis Stevenson, The Last Light Of The Sun by Guy Gavriel Kay, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and I'm still plodding through Atlas Shrugged

 

[Lord Sauron]

Right now I am reading moonraker by ian flemming (one of the james bond novels) and i am waiting for the new harry potter book which comes out in a month

 

[Mooky87]

I am only reading two books right now. No Lord of the Rings right now. I am reading

The Princess by, Lori Wick (Great Romance book with nothing explicit)
The Phantom of the Opera by, Gaston Leroux (It's actually an easier read than most people have told me!)
This does make me sound like a romance fan, but I'm really not.

I've been traveling a lot this month--camping trip, wedding, shower, wedding, wedding, and none of them near each other--so in between road trips I read Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West finally, long after most of my friends, and re-listened to the audiobooks of the first Harry Potter and Susan Cooper's The Gray King. Now I have several books in progress and can't seem to focus on any of them--James Clavell's Shogun, Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure (I would really enjoy it, if I didn't know it was going to end badly. The Impending Sense of Doom--it's a Hardy, of course it will end badly, the man was pathologically opposed to happiness-prevents me from investing anything in the characters), and A String in the Harp by Nancy Bond.

Really I want graphic novels right now--something visual. I read two volumes of Frank Miller's Sin City ('The Hard Goodbye' and 'That Yellow B******') and Max Allan Collins' Road to Perdition, which was excellent. I'm really annoyed that my dad's copy of Batman: Year One has vanished, because I wanted to read it, and neither my dad nor my brother seems to be able to find their copies of Frank Miller's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. What's a girl to do? I guess I'll re-read The Watchmen and see if I can pick up a few new volumes of Rurouni Kenshin, since the last one I read was vol.14.

God forbid I not read a book! lol

Right now, I am working my way through the RotK, and trying to comvince myself to do the Sil next.

I'm kinda in a Star Wars phase right now, so I just finished "I, Jedi" (Stakepole), and I did a few NJO books before that.

I'm also midway through CS Lewis' Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and after that one's done I'm on to The Silver Chair (I'm working my way through the Chronacles for the um....80th time; I more or less have the books memorized,and my copies are in shreads!)

My other currant favs are the Artemmis Fowl books by Eoin Colfer. YAY for Colfer! I need to re-read book one again.....

I am currently reading 8 books (if you count two books of the Bible).

• The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel
• Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
• Speechless by Steven Curtis Chapman and Scotty Smith. SCC is my fav. artist for about 7 years
• The Fellowship of the Ring (by DUH!) again
• The Silmarillion
• The Magicians Nephew
• I Samuel
• Proverbs

Oh ya! And a book called Desiring God's Will. I don't remember the author's name. So that makes 9.

I'm reading Pastwatch by Orson Scott Card, and I'm still engaged in a brutal staring contest with Atlas Shrugged, which I seem to be losingstupidselfrighteousprosteletysingbookthatIcan'tseemtogetridofmumblemutter...

[e.Blackstar]

Oh yeah! Guess who totally just borrowed Shadow of the Giant by O.S. Card?

Go me!

 

[greypilgrim]

"The Story of World War Two", with a whole lotta pictures and interesting facts about the war. Also, "Greatest Stories of World War Two On Land". this book is full of short battlefield accounts by soldiers mostly. Some letters home, and some grim knowledge is imparted on the reader of this book.

 

[Lord Sauron]

I have just finished Harry Potter and the half blooded prince it was so good. Big twist can't wait dor the next one to come out. But for all you harry potter fans the fourth movie comes out in november so does the video game.

I read it when it came out, too. I thought it was good. I'm looking forward to the movie this November, because the fourth one was my favorite. Anyway, I just finished the Guenevere trilogy by Rosalind Miles. It wasn't the best in my opinion, but still worth reading.

 

[Tar-Elendil13]

I'm reading The Lays of Beleriand. I really like it so far. I love reading poetry.

 

[yhwh1st]

Hmmm.... Just picked up another book late last night. I'll probably finish it within an hour. It's called The Awakening by Debra White Smith

 

[Rosalee LuAnn]

I recently finished "The Dark Lord of Dernhelm" (at least, I think that was what it was called ) And haven't started another yet, which is mostly because there are seveal I want to read, but I know I SHOULD be reading "A Farewell to Arms" for school, and don't really want to... Anybody read it? Is it good/bad/ok?

 

[e.Blackstar]

Rereading Mattimeo while I suffer through the next few days until I can get to the library.

 

[yhwh1st]

Well, I finished the other book within the time I alloted myself. Then picked up another book and only just finished it a bit ago. 315 pages and I couldn't put it down until I was sure that they got out OK. *talks to self* Dur!!! That would be the end of the book Meg! It was called A Shelter In the Storm by the same author as the other one.
