what book are you currently reading

[sgtpepperUK]

the fog by james herbert considering it came out in the 70's its quite shocking

[Preacher-e9-]

I'm just about to start reading Neuromancer by William Gibson - Having read trashy Buffy novels the past few weeks lol :mellow:. It was written in 1984 and is apparently 'the first ever cyberpunk novel', a friend recommended I give it a read.

Last great book that I was impressed by was World War Z (Max Brooks) which I think I was having a conversation with Exion about elsewhere on this forum. If Neuromancer turns out to be any good I might read the others, as it's a part of a trilogy.

[germ1984]

The Hobbit. Wanted to read this for ages but only just got round to buying it.

awsome auther, not so into his myron boliter books but i love his stand alone ones. seriosly emotional. i just read "the woods" by him yesterday, dosnt disapoint

[Tolkamas]

I'm just finishing off Lord of the Flies for a second time. Love that book, the author taught at my school actually!

I just got myself a copy of World War Z Preacher! Gunna have to read that soon then. I really wanna read his Ultimate Zombie Survival Guide, looks awesome. I saw a few pages and I always wonder to myself when I'm in a room of my house what I would do if I zombie came through the door....

Oh, and I love Darren Shan, I read every one of his books as soon as they come out.

[germ1984]

I had to read Lord of the Flies in GCSE English. Enjoyed it but think I would've liked it more if we weren't forced to read it as a group and analyse it after every bloody chapter!

[Tolkamas]

I know! That really can irritate me when its obvious whats been going on... althougth to be honest, you do get some good notes to write down which are rather useful.

[Resarf]

Survivor - Chuck Palahniuk

[Richie]

We got An Inspector Calls and Of Mice And Men to do at GCSE. English makes them boring :( of mice and men wasnt too bad. And the darren shan ones were pretty good too, i have all of them in a box somewhere.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull ,by richard bach it sounds like a kids book but its not its kinda of a book that gives you a dif perspective on yopur own life every time you read it if you say did it once a year , it became a new york times bestseller for 38 weeks.

[summitus]

Reading "Orc's" by Stan Nicholls sort of a look things from the Orc's point of veiw ,great book :yes:

[Deathvein]

Half-Life 2: Raising The Bar

...if it counts as a book.

[sgtpepperUK]

finished deal breaker im now reading harlen coben's drop shot

[Preacher-e9-]

Tolkamas (can't quote coz i'm posting on my damn phone :(): the zombie survival guide is good as well but tends to look at it in a humouress nature at times. World War Z is a much better read and probably one of the best books i've read this year.

I read talking in whispers for english back when i was in school (don't know if thats still a set text option?) but that was probs one of the best books i ever read at school (that and 'catcher in the rye').

[sgtpepperUK]

now reading the six sacred stones by matthew reilly

[Deathvein]

It must be hard finding time to read books when you have all those trophies!

I like Darren Shan too, however i'm only up too Slawter :( , and also my friend and I are obsessed with zombies he is moreso ( in fact he has whole sketchbooks full of zombie drawings ), but we have very intricate plans for any outbreak possibility lol( we were really bored in school) he also showed me that world war Z book is it any good I've been thinking about buying it.
I'm reading Anne Rice - Tale of the body thief... 4th book in the vampire chronicles
Tolkamas you might be interested in the series because you like Darren Shan, its really good, you may have already read them.

[sgtpepperUK]

not really i read them at work plus im an insomniac lol anyway im now reading fade away by harlan coben

[exion]

currently I'm crawling my way through Gulliver's Travels... been a while since I read a classic ^_^

[Strong_in_the_arm]

I read through Koji Suzuki's Ring Cycle series, the Harry Potter series, Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials series, and now I'm going through Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. I started at book 1 and now I'm on book 27, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. Some of TP's books are really funny, my favorite books are the ones centered around Rincewind and Sam Vimes/The City Watch. They say you don't have to read the books in order, but it makes the experience much better due to all the in-jokes and character development. Like Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler who has equivalents of himself everywhere on the Discworld, like Disembowel-Meself-Honourably Dibhala, Swallow-Me-Own-Blowdart Dhlang-Dhlang, and Al-Jiblah. Well worth reading through if you have the time.

[sgtpepperUK]

have just finished fade away by harlan coben it is a tad darker than his previous two myron boliter novels but also his best in my opinion seriously his skills in creating characters and then developing them is awesome i am now about to begin intensity by dean koontz

[sgtpepperUK]

have finished intensity did not really enjoy it didn't like the lead character 'Chyna' goodie two shoes does not even begin to describe her would have been better if she'd died anyway im now reading J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit

[XverderNix]

I read through Koji Suzuki's Ring Cycle series, ..... and now I'm going through Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.

I've only read the 1st Ring book. A bit different then the Japanese movie, but good none the less.
About a year ago I started with the 1st Discworld book and I'm currently reading the 5th (The Wyrd Sisters) and planning on reading the rest too. In between the 4th and 5th Discworld I've read Clive Barker's Everville.

A book I want to start reading when I finish the current one is this:

[fay737731]

I'm reading The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver. He wrote The Bone Collector series and a few others. He brings out a new book every year and it's really annoying waiting for the paperback version. If you like a bit of CSI type books I recommend all his books! Haven't got far in the new book yet...but really like it already.

[Elazul]

Hahaha, I'm reading 'The Penguin Book of MORE Australian Jokes' - Which quite possibly contains some of the worst jokes in existance. Also some of the most deliciously offensive ones.

[sgtpepperUK]

im now reading pyramid by tom martin

[kevy21]

[ageant09]

[sgtpepperUK]

i have read the first three dark tower novels ageant09, keep meaning to read the fourth. the waste lands ended with a bit of a cliff hanger with blaine.

[ageant09]

blaine the mono, haha i forgort about him ,the ending of this series is so twisted and fucked up it leaves you fealing alone forever and ever

[Darth_Eskimo]

We got An Inspector Calls and Of Mice And Men to do at GCSE. English makes them boring :( of mice and men wasnt too bad. And the darren shan ones were pretty good too, i have all of them in a box somewhere.

We just finished reading 'An Inspector Calls' I thought it was really good, the ending is quite lame though.

[judder01]

Erm... The last book i read was Lewis Hamilton biography but none atm.

[Spearmint-R33]

I've just finished reading about 3PARA in Afghanistan. I also have a few other books ready to be read when I am ready. :D

A book called 'A million Bullets' which again is about Afghanistan but takes a look at the whole thing.

'Men who stare at goats' which is about failed US military experiments.

'Al Queda' which funnily enough is about them, I want to try and understand them and just what makes them what they are.

I am currently reading 'Lions, Dinosaurs and Donkeys' which is about waste and blundering within the Armed Forces. Very interesting book and it's certainly opened my eyes.
