I just finished the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson, and am now reading Tom Sawyer and It's Kind of a Funny Story, by Ned Vizzini. Seems like it'll be a good book.

I'm rereading A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Twain. Really amusing if you want to imagine Camelot would have been like with dynamite.

)

(ok, these are audio books. I'm a graphic designer with a busy life outside of work. I listen at work. It's fantastic

)
On the Book end:
American Gods (stunning)
Ender's Game
Ender's Shadow (i loves me the Bean)
Snow Crash
Haunted
Fight Club

To Read:
Hitchhiker's Guide
Good Omens
And just shy of a metric fuck-ton of David Sedaris (i got his pack for cheap on Audible a bit back)

Audible is wonderful for my life

I'm currently re-reading the Red Dwarf Novels :

Infinity welcomes careful drivers
Better than life
Last Human
Backwards

Now the first two books are utter classics sadly the last 2 seem to be lacking in different ways as they were written after doug and rob desolved their writing partnership and went their ways.

Last Human for me always seemed to be very dark and lack the humor, while Backwards lacked seriousness and focus

still a agreat series to read tho. Also check out colony by rob grant ... classic .

The Tudor Housewife by Alison Sim. Recently finished up Price of Honor by Jan Goodwin. I love non-fiction, particularly history and science, so I'm in heaven with the library privileges at the university I work for.

I've been reading Death Note The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. It's very interesting, in my opinion. There are tons better out there, but I personally really enjoy it. After that I might read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo or something.

I've been reading Myth & Knowing, and whatever the title of my Western Civilization textbook is. Yeah. T_T...

I don't usually read for fun, though. When I'm not in school, I will read something in foreign languages (right now I'm reading Romans et conts by Voltaire), just to keep up with it

Isn't knowing by robin parrish? I swear I've read that book, I just can't remember....

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende.............FANTASTIC!

If read carefully, plenty of theories on logic and philosophy...1 more chapter till I'm done.

At present I am reading Mass Effect:Ascension, a Tom Holt omnibus, and I'll be visiting the library tomorrow to get something else.

I'm also writing about a dozen projects, the fans are bombarding me with emails for a new chapter 'cause I kinda left them on a cliffhanger with the last upload

The 1000 Nights and 1 Night

3/4 of the way through volume 3 of 4. Translated by Mardus & Mathers or something... They swear it's the most accurate English traslation you'll find, I haven't a clue if there is any truth to their claims. If someone (preferably that's read it in Arabic and English and thus actually has a clue) has a better translation I'd probably be willing to give it a shot.

Below the Root


Just started about half way through. I'd probably finish it in a night after work if I'd stop reading/posting on GBAtemp and playing video games.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Maureen Birnbaum, Barbarian Swordsperson is sitting on my toilet's tank... I read that once or twice a day depending on how much fiber I've had.
