What have you just READ?

[yet_another_dude]

to be honest, by now I only read two Christopher Moore books, a dirty job and the gospel according to biff...
But I just read something bout bloodsucking fiends, sounds great!
just added it to the list of books I want to buy after the exams this semester

Read some of the Amber series, honestly not impressed at all. currently reading The Commander (by Meir Pa'il), speaks of issues in military leadership. not a page goes by without the author praising himself for his past actions, but since i have to read it...

[Deez.Nuts]

the first few chapters of Game of Thrones.

Treaure Islands by Nicholas Shaxson - It's all about offshore banking, the oft ignored problems of tax evasion and secrecy jurisdictions. It's a great read on a complicated subject and it'll make your blood boil with anger in places.

[cowboyfromhell]

the first few chapters of Game of Thrones.

I just finished it - really rounds out the tv series and I guarantee you'll be scrabbling to grab the rest after finishing that one.

[Deez.Nuts]

It's a really good read so far, setting a really great story with great characters. Hooked!

Star Wars: The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance

starting with Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived soon

[Deathtaker27]

book 9 of the wheel of time done just a few more to go

[Fjallraven]

I'm currently reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, but I just finished reading The Trial by Franz Kafka. Both are good. The Trial gets a bit worse at the end but is a great book nonetheless.

[Bobbobthebob]

Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut (not very good)

and

The Forever War by John Haldeman.
- It's a sci-fi novel about soldiers sent to fight on planets so far away and sent there at such great speed that relativistic time dilation occurs. A tour that feels like 8 months subjectively becomes 15 years away from Earth. So it's half standard military sci-fi and half about the dislocation and culture shock felt by returning soldiers to a home that has changed while they were away. It's a great big allegory for the Vietnam veteran's experience. Pretty good and it's not often I tear through a book in 4 days.

Now starting on A Dance With Dragons. (It's really here! In my hands after 6 years!)

Ordered my copy, although I'm still only 80% through the third book!

[windowmaker]

A note for all those looking into reading some George R R Martin and his a Song of Ice and Fire series, its currently part of the 3 for £10 deal in Asda. Bargain!

[Dog of War]

Just finished Catch-22 for the second time, got even better.
Started A Game of Thrones. Read it for a while, only about 100 pages in and already hooked.
