I have read ''The Prince'', want to read Aristotle's Politics and i just finished reading the ''Unbearable lightness of being'' by Milan Kundera.
Now i'm going to start reading some European short stories.

I would, but I like my brain to not be all melted and mushy.

Concurrently, "Bottlemania: how water went on sale and why we bought it by Elizabeth Royte".

In addition to various magazines which due to their size {80 to 100 pages} and cost I consider to be more of a book.

Topic Addition: What book(s) do you generalites plan to read next?

I've paged through that one and it seems really good. I have and am planning to read it soon, maybe after I finish the Antietam book.

De ontdekking van de Hemel by Harry Mulisch.

A monstrous 923-paged novel, which is considered to be one of the masterpieces of Dutch post-war literature. I'm at page 33 now, so I've got ways to go.

"Flyboys" by James Bradley. Really incredible so far.

EDIT; it's by susan collins.

Lacky's the only one here who's not read it?

I haven't read or even heard of it.

I've sort of stopped reading ever since I finished Roadkill by Rob Thurman. I'm waiting for the next book to come out, since the one I just finished didn't really live up to my expectations, not to say it wasn't awesome.

Right now, though, I guess you could say I'm reading:
volume 13 of Rurouni Kenshin by Nobuhiro Watsuki
Vampire hunter D: Raiser of Gales by Hideyuki Kikuchi
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

The last one isn't really very attracting, so, I have been reluctant to reading it. Not to mention, I have gotten some wierd faces when people see me reading it, probably from the cover.

I've been dieing to read that series. I've heard a lot of good things about it.

I'm currently between books, actually. I can't decide what to go with next. I got a bunch of books on Christmas. I'm thinking probably Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, the prequel to the original Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. That one seems exciting. Though, I've also got the other two books in the "series," Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters and Android Karenina. Though, I think I'll save that second one for now. It's pretty damn long, especially compared to the rest of them. Plus, I've also got Mogworld and The Zombie Survival Guide. Not to mention the fact that I still have some Tolkien to get through. :/

Why does E=MC²? by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw, and Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. I try to have one fact and one fiction book going at the same time.

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. I'm a fan of her work.

Yeah, she's pretty good. Though, it's even better when people like Seth Grahame-Smith modify it a bit.

The Kingdom Of God Is Within You

It's the basis of Christian Anarchism and a really good book

re-reading The Walking Drums by Louis L'amour (so that I can debate the finer points with my SO)

reading Awakened (House of Night Series) not sure on Author (my daughter needs someone to talk to her about what is happening in the series and I got elected, please keep in mind she is 16 and flat out refuses to read the Twilight Series, she does not condone teen pregnancy)

Re-reading Harry Potter Series, just for fun of it.

and for the trashy side of me I am re-reading the Anita Blake Series by Laurell K. Hamilton

by **Bodegraven** » Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:34 am

I'm reading the 4th book in the Midkemia Saga: "A Darkness At Sethanon", by Raymond Feist.
I'm reading the german translation of it, though (Dunkel Über Sethanon)
It is not as good as the second and third but still a nice book and a must-read if you like fantasy
