What 📔book are you reading right now?

[spirit]

Sorry to all the Cullen-Swan fans, but I really dislike their characters, especially Bella who, in my opinion, should have died half-way through the first book!

Reading this made my day! (Actually, anything non-sciency and study-related makes my day!) :*D


Currently reading Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong.

 

[HLGStrider]

Just finished a book, which is rare for me nowadays. The Alchemist, which I had always wanted to read but never got around to. It was an interesting philosophical myth.

I'm back to re-reading things hidden in my bookcase, this time it's Across the Face of the World by Russell Kirkpatrick.

 

[Prince of Cats]

The classic Indian tale Ramayana

 

[Sulimo]

Recently finished Feast of Crow's of G.R.R. Martain's Song of Fire and Ice, and also within last week finished trilogy on audiobook. I am currently re-reading Harry Potter and am on Order of the Phoenix, and listening to Eye of the World from Jordan's Wheel of Time.

I've never read it, but I've watch the series on casette. One day..

 

[Mithrandir-Olor]

Currently none, I have 3 I've Bought and intend to get to soon. Book 6 of The Vampire Diaries. The Hunger Games, and of course The Children of Hurin.

I'm working my way through the 'Blue Fairy Tale Book,' slowly, maybe a story a night right before bed. I love fairy tales and even if I've read most of them before, every so often I stumble on one in a collection that is new to me, plus different versions of the same story are often interesting, like this version of Sleeping Beauty has a whole added on second chapter where the prince's mother tries to eat their children. . .Which I've seen in other stories, but never in Sleeping Beauty.

I'm reading Neal Stephenson's The Baroque Cycle. A couple of years ago I stopped reading it after The Confusion (I'm not sure why, I must have got distracted by other things) so I bought System of the World (the last volume) a couple weeks back and started reading it again from the beginning.

 

[Sulimo]

Wow, I am reading a lot right now. Just finished Stephen R. Donaldson's The Mirror of her Dreams from his Mordant's Need series, and began reading Tolkien and the Critics. This is a very interesting selection of essays on the LOTR from the early 60's. I also am reading Beowulf again, and plan to move on to Finn and Hengrest and Le Mort de Arthur next.

However, I am also listening to the Wheel of Time books, and I am on The Fires of Heaven for perhaps my third reading through the series. I am super excited about A Memory of Light.

 

[Starbrow]

I am rereading the Crown of Stars series by Kate Elliot. I loved it the first time I read it, but it's even better the second time around.

Thanks for the heads-up :*up

I've finally started reading ... Children of Hurin! I've owned it for 6+ months but just cracked the cover yesterday. Unfortunately, I'm already halfway through :*D

 

[Sulimo]

Its funny that you make plans to read all these things, and then they get placed on the back burner. The Borders near my house is going out of buisness, and so I went shopping. I am almost done with White Fang and so tomorrow I will begin A Dance With Dragaons book five in Martain's Song of Ice and Fire. I am super excited, and can only hope that the others will come out quickly. I also picked up some Crichton, Stephen King short stories book Night Shift, and of course some Tolkien: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orffero (?).That should keep me busy for awhile.

 

[HLGStrider]

I'm slowly reading through "The Disappearing Spoon" which has a lot of interesting facts (and amusing anecdotes, as Weird Al might say) about the table of the elements and chemistry in general.

 

[Elbereth]

I am currently reading "A Game of Thrones".

I love it! Although my pace is slower than I would like because I have been reading it while I am nursing my newborn son, which although it is often....it is only in short spurts.

 

[Sulimo]

Congrats Elbereth, A Game of Thrones is an awesome book, I am currently reading book 5 A Dance With Dragons. It is a very grim series though.

 

[Tanglefoot]

A Dance with Dragons, George R. R. Martin; Anathem, Neil Stephenson; and The Last Werewolf, Glen Duncan. All really incredible so far.

Also, reading through The One Ring rulesbooks from Cubicle7. Few random reads here and there. Vonnegut, China Mieville, Clive Barker. That sort of thing. Lots of Dunsany.

 

[Ithrynluin]

Lots of people reading Martin, I see. The books are long but definitely worth the effort. I'm currently reading book 3, A Storm of Swords.

 

[Tanglefoot]

it is only in short spurts.

*rimshot*
I see what you did there

 

[Sulimo]

I began the Sword of Truth, and am about 300 pgs into Wizards First Rule. Is it just me, or does this book really feel like a original to super Nintendo era Final Fantasy game?
