Currently I am reading "the mystery of the templars," as well as a few books dealing with the crusades, along with one dealing with William the Bastard.

It's embarassing...I'm an ex-English professor and an (unpublished) novelist, and lately I've been reading nothing but blogs (though some are good--like this one http://yogaforcynics.blogspot.com ) 



houseboy39 -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/2/2008 11:57:09 PM)

Even more embarrassing: I mis-spelled "embarrassing" in that last post...then, I'm into humiliation...

I'm awaiting the paperback release of Confessor by Terry Goodkind.



Wise choices, the both of you.  I'm surprised however, that with such a literate crowd, noone is currently reading the perpetual classic "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" (unabridged, naturally" or even "The Silmarillion" or any more of the works by the Grandmaster himself, JRR Tolkien.  I reread it every couple of years myself.

Just got Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Looks like fun.


It definitely is. I'd also recommend Snow Crash, and really any of his other work.

I'm in the middle of "Foreskin's Lament" by Shalom Auslander. It's a hilarious, dark memoir of a guy growing up in a Orthodox Jewish family and school, and his "interesting" relationship with God. The book is really funny and one of the more entertaining memoirs I've read.



fluffyswitch -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/6/2008 8:25:48 PM)

brimstone by preston and child

i just finished sin in the second city. it's about the everleigh brothal in chicago (it's where the word lay actually derives from- i'm going down to the everleigh, i'm going to get everleighed tonight, i'm going to get laid tonight/she was a good lay...)



justjosie -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/6/2008 8:36:41 PM)

someone highly recommended "Tuesday's with Morrie". had read another book by this author, and was not planning on this one.  it is worth a look :)



Termyn8or -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/6/2008 9:55:14 PM)

I am considering readring "The Iron Heel". Sounds pretty good.

I'm currently in the middle of Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl. I'm very surprised I haven't come to it before, it being so famous and well-regarded. It's a fascinating read, from his personal experiences in concentration camps to explaining logotherapy. I'm at a point in my life where it's pretty helpful as well.

My Amazon Vine books are supposed to come in tomorrow, I'm getting The Night of the Gun: A Reporter Investigates the Darkest Story of his Life--His Own by David Carr, a reporter actually writes his memoir and drug addiction like he would a news story- for every part of his life he interviews people (including ex-lovers), looks through records and finds out his memory was faulty in a lot of places. I've heard great things and I can't wait. I'm also getting The Whiskey Rebels by David Liss, which is apparently a mystery/thriller set in America a few years after the Revolution, the protagonist being one of Washington's ex-spies. Oh, and for my "guilty pleasure" I'm going to start the first of Nalini Singh's paranormal series too. :)



Madame4a -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/29/2008 8:17:27 AM)

I am reading... The Girls by Lori Lansens

I really wasn't sure I'd care for it, a good friend urged me to try it and I can't put it down.



DiurnalVampire -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/29/2008 8:18:43 AM)

I just finished The Skin Gods by Robert Montinari
I am now reading Starship Troopers



wandersalone -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/29/2008 8:27:54 AM)

Jude The Obscure by Thomas Hardy.
Next will be Careless in Red by Elizabeth George and after that probably something by Jonathon Kellerman (these are not counting the work books I always have open)

edited to fix the rogue caps.



RealityLicks -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/29/2008 11:27:25 AM)

I've been putting off starting Karoo by Steve Tesich for about a week.  I'll probably get started in the next few days. Anyone who's read it and wants to spur me on, go for it...

rookey -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/30/2008 6:19:34 AM)

Thomas Clearly's translation of Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

A very insightful and engaging read.

Russell Brand's My Booky Wook - a great read, beautifully written, don't let the title put you off!
