What are you reading at the moment?

As has already been mentioned, good read. Struggling to put it down.

Have just started it since finishing the 1st while on holiday in August.

Picked it up for 7 quid along with A Storm of Swords from Sainsburys. Bargain!

I'm halfway through A Storm of Swords: Book 1 at the mo and like you say, very hard to put down. I've mentioned it before but I'll mention it again

The restaurant at the end of the Universe. Wasn't sure what to start next so went onto Isaac Asimov Foundation series starting with Prelude to Foundation. (on Ebook reader)

[ithuriel]

Just finished rereading Battle, an account of the battle of the bulge by poeple from all side's who we're there, it is an old book

and am part way through The battle for Nuremburg, an account of one of the air battles over Germany during the latter year's of the second world war.

Love Bill Bryson's books. Has me in stitches with some of his little anecdotes.

[Rincewind]

First in seven books. Only problem is I read them a few years ago and I think I can remember how it all ends. Was a surprise first time so the ending is in the back of my mind. Don't recall much of the first one. When he wrote the Foundation books, Asimov did not do them in order. He just filled in the gaps. The first was written in the fourties the last in the eighties.

Good books though if you like Sci-Fi.

One thing that I am finding a little annoying is not the content but the spelling mistakes. Do they proof-read before transferring to Ebook format? And who proof reads the proof readers? Also some words are joined up.

Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut. Supoib.

[Stay Positive]

Chavs - The Demonization Of The Working Class by Owen Jones.

Excellent book that raises many important issues and puts things in perspective.

[MikeyT]

Just gotta say I am 3 quarters of the way through this and it's probably the most interesting and shocking book I've read in years. Really fascinating read.

[FoxyPV]

Arthur and George by Julian Barnes - really good stuff.

Mikey read the Shankill Butchers by Martin Dillon for truly horrifying read.

[MikeyT]

Just started on this. I'm quite a geek when it comes to watching WW1 and WW2 documentaries or reading about them so am looking forward to reading this book.

About to start this.

[Webbo]

I'm thinking of downloading Don Quixote on Kindle as it's free. Has anyone ever read it? Is it any good or am I being poncy?

[Rincewind]

Not read it but its supposed to be good. I have quite a few books on the bundle my brother gave me I'll see if its there. Reading the foundation series ATM by Isaac Asimov. On the second one out of seven.

[FoxyPV]

Jane Eyre (again)

[Alexikokopops]

I got A Game Of Thrones out the library today based on recommendations on here. Enjoying it so far. I also got Child 44.

Currently reading the follow up to Child 44 called The Secret Speech. There's also a third already written so I'm led to believe.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Bearded Tit by Rory McGrath. Not bad actually, even though my inner narrative uses his voice when I'm reading it.

[ajthefox]

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Interesting start.

At Home by Bill Bryson.

It's a history of things in the home and the events and personalities in the wider world which allowed them to come into being.

[Narborough_fox]

A Life to Short. Such a tragic, moving recollection of what happened to Robert Enke. Really makes you think and pray for his family and anyone else effected by his passing or depression in general.

Bought a book which had two douglas Adams novels in one. Finished Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agengency this afternoon. Good read. Bit mad in parts very funny in others. Although the ending confused me a little. There was a ghost uncountered for. What happened to him?
