What book are you reading?

You can tell alot from what books people read as well as if they even take the time to read a book. I am currently reading "Final Exits- The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die" by Michael Largo. It is very informative as well as entertaining and funny.

an almost four. i just read The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. takes place about 10years after the Holocaust. pretty good reading seen through the eyes of a man looking back when he was fifteen up to years later. based on a relationship he had with an older woman who had some secrets.

*whistles and looks around* Cloak of Deception. Its a Star Wars book...

Currently flipping through "Gonzo" a collection of reminiscences about Hunter S Thompson edited by Jann Wenner. Not great literature, but an amusing distraction, and I'm a little short on spare time for something weighty.

(4/21/07) Gotta update this, several books later:  I'm in the middle of "Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.  Interesting look at the history of science.   (2/13/05) I'm reading several; I pick up a different book depending on my mood. Mostly, I'm reading The Odyssey and American Gods, both of which are pretty good, though the latter is kinda weird.

Just started reading the The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne.

Robert De Niro's biography by John Baxter. It's absolutely brilliant and it explains how he met Scorsese and had his big break in "Mean Streets" and "The Godfather Pt 2". I'm really enjoying it so far, I think he's one of the greatest actors of all time.

Happiness- book on happiness from different standpoints, cultures, and religions. It introduses you how ancient civilization and modern facts look at what actually happiness means to different people. Personally for me, to learn anything about a different culture is insatiable.

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. It's the first book in a series and I'm really just getting started on it. Give me another 6 weeks, and I'll probably be reading Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy again.

Nothing at the moment, got a suggestion?

i am reading a book called personality plus, a self help book and a book called monster about gangs and a guide to online shopping

for him magazine

I find this question most insightful, as it let's me know at least whether or not the person actually reads at all (not that it's a prerequisite for me, I actually have friends that never read a book front to back in their lives). Currently I'm reading Thomas Sowell's Vision of the Annointed. Also, lately I'm interested in anything that I can find on Kim Jong Il/North Korea...

Currently I'm reading the political writings of John Adams. Another recent book I've read is Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, a real eye opening look into the fast food industry. Generally my reading interests are more wide rather than thematic.

Recently finished reading Susan Hill's Woman in Black. It's pleasantly written, if a little formulaic.

I read a lot... currently /An Intimate History of Humanity/ (Theodore Zeldin). Recently I have been liking histories that focus not so much on the actions of kings and generals, but on aspects of daily life.

From a Buick 8 ~ Stephen King and Are You Hungry Dear ~ Doris Roberts (both at a snails pace).

I've just finished reading 'How To Sell Your Photos' by Lee Frost which has been a huge help and am about to start on 'The Complete Photography Manual' I've gotten to the stage where I'm taking my photography uber seriously.

I just finished Glenn Beck's The Real America.It was a really good book, but I did lose a bit of respect for him finding out he was Mormon.I am sorry that is just me, I was letdown.

Envious People--Joyce Carol Oates. the wife said i needed more women authors. just finished Jernigan by David Gates, a wonderful look into one man's suburban self-destruction.

The People Themselves: Popular Constitutionalism by Larry Kramer, and A Defense of Natural Law by Robert George

I'm reading the Prometheus Deception by Robert Ludlum. Not anything to intense, but entertaining.

The Adventures of Huckleberry fin. Its an okay book but I can't stand the strong Southern accent after awhile.

Reading is important to me. . .I read Ahab's Wife which really sucked. . . but I am on a history kick right now. . .

I quit reading books two months ago. I'm burned out. The last book I read was by Josh Leventhal, The World Series, 1903-2004.
