The "What are you reading?" thread

Post by White Rabbit »

If you're currently reading a book, post it.

I'm currently reading Night Work by Thomas Glavinic. I'm about 70 pages in and it's boring the shit out of me. Hoping it gets a little more exciting.

I always have several books going at once. Currently I am reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, Duma Key by Stephen King and The Street Lawyer by John Grisham.

I just finished the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix, which I read while already having the three mentioned above started. Thinking bout reading the Twilight books next since they're all the rage these days.

I totally understand why you are still working on it... but again I must say "it's totally worth it in the end". At least for me it was.

David Sedaris - When You Are Engulfed in Flames

as well as The Bhagavad Gita

I've got three more I'm waiting to read after those two, but, in the meantime I also have to read textbooks...

Rabbit, that book sounds fairly interesting. I hope it picks up for you so that you can recommend it to me.

Fiti, quit reading such fluff and try to find something that requires a bit of thought. For Christ's sake, you're rotting your brain with all the "see Spot run" shit. (for the record, i loved the Dick & Jane books)
