Slowly working through "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" - and I mean slowly. Probably one of the toughest books I've ever tried reading.
Sitting next to me, with the plans to start reading them any time now, is "Heart of Darkness", since I've never read it, and "Buddhism Without Beliefs", at the encouragement of someone else, and because I've just started trying to meditate - perhaps that'll help me out a bit with it.
I'm almost never just reading ONE book, I think I'm too ADD for that.
I'm like you Kitty, I'm too ADD to read just one book. I usually have 2, sometimes 3, going on at the same time. Right now I am reading 8th Confession by James Patterson, and The Time Traveller's Wife.
I usually finish books pretty quickly, so I'll be onto something new pretty soon.
I'm currently reading an editor's copy of a young adult that hasn't been released yet called "Mockingbird" by Kathryn Erskine. She is one of my favorite teen authors.
I also picked up a few books at the school's book fair where I work, and I'm in the middle of a book called Never Slow Dance with a Zombie. I picked it up because I thought it would be something the kids would enjoy, but it's one of the worst novels I've ever read! It's cliche and dry and spends very little time developing the plot or attempting to make sense.
Right now I'm reading Wally Lamb's "The Hour I First Believed". I'm not too far in, but it looks like it's going to be just as awesome as his other books. I generally have more than one book on the go as well, but these days my second book is a parenting or nutrition book.
Dragon Age Stolen Throne - novel series for Dragon Age Origins, written by David Gaider, lead writer at Bioware
The Lost Symbol
Order in Chaos (book three in the Templar Trilogy by Jack Whyte)
Turning Learning Right Side Up - a must read for teachers or those involved in education.
Currently Reading:
Getting Things Done
Project Management
Time Management
ePolicy Handbook or Management or something like that
*pause while I wait for PMS Kitty to stop laughing about the time management thing*
I've been trying to read Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel by Michio Kaku, and every time I pick it up within a few pages I plunk that sucker right back down again. It's starting to frustrate me.. I want to read it but I'm not in the mood to devote the attention to it.
I need to make another trip to the bookstore, though. There's a few Terry Pratchett novels out & coming out that I'd like to pick up, despite the backlog of about 5 Diskworld novels sitting on my shelf
I'm currently reading Nikki Sixx: Heroine Diaries.
I'm not a huge fan of his music but i enjoyed Motley Crue: the dirt so i thought i'd give this one a try.
I can say it has been a really good and interesting read so far.
Really enjoy reading band autobiographies!
I'm finishing up the last book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. Then I've got The Lost Symbol, and Atlas Shrugged. Although I just read the review of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which I hadn't heard of before but sounds interesting, so I may pick that up and read it before starting Atlas Shrugged...which will probably take me a full year to read haha.
I'm reading some book I picked up at the local DG Store. Its called Candles Burning. It takes place in the South during the 50's. I'm also reading Shiny Water and Bram Stokers Dracula (I really couldn't get into it but i'm still gonna give it a try.)
I am reading Cell by Stephen King. It was a slow start but its getting to the point where I cant stop at times I have to know what happens to these survivors. I'm a big Stephen King fan and have read just about all of his books. After this one I will probably read the latest one he wrote (at the moment the title just escapes me). Before this book I read the Boleyn Inheritance By Philippa Gregory. I love her work and I'm trying to read all the books she wrote connected to the Tudors.
I just finished 8th Confession by James Patterson. Started off really good, but the ending was kind of anti-climatic. Not the best of his books, but not the worst either. Starting Time Traveller's Wife now. Hoping for a good read.
I started Dragon Age The Calling two nights ago, also picked up yet another archaeological/secret society mystery, The Hunt For Atlantis by Andy McDermott. Still working on the time & project management books...when I have time
I just finished reading:
Slash
Animal Farm
The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
I'm currently reading:
Methland
In the queue:
The Dirt
I Am Legend
** As you can probably tell from that list, I like to read about drugs, rock stars and serial killers. I have to throw in a Fiction book to keep myself in check
I just finsihed reading Nikki Sixx Heroin Diaries and now i will be carrying on with Dirty Blonde: The diaries of courtney love.
It's quite a difficult book to get into. Instead of her diaries being typed up it's just scans of the pages.
Sometimes she writes quite scruffy so you can't always tell what's she's written.
I got The Girls (Lori Lansens) in the mail yesterday... I've only managed a few pages so far but I like it. It's the autobiography of a conjoined twin... not a typical story I suppose but it's definitely a neat premise.
Nothing :( Except some books that I've read a million times. I love them, but I need some new books! I think it's way past time for me to get a new " - In Death" novel by J.D. Robb
I'm reading A Tale of Two Patriots and Rights of Man at the moment.
I have a ridiculously long list of books to read:
The 9/11 Commission Report
The Reagan Diaries
Deliver Us From Evil
Treason
Loyal Comrades, Ruthless Killers
Campaigns of the Civil War
Losing Bin Laden
The Secret Life of Bill Clinton
Common Sense (Thomas Paine)
I acquired some of those books from my great-uncle and some of them have been sitting in the bookshelf for a long time. I never finished the 9/11 Report and I need to read it before next month's debate tournament because most of the information can be used for extemporaneous speaking rounds and it ties into the debate topic. It's hard to find a lot of time for reading, though, because school and debate have me all tied up. >_<
