Personally I've just dug into Don Quixote. I like how an author from the sixteenth century discribes whores as 'ladies of easy virtue.'

T2: The Future War is my current read, then I'll finally finish The Blind Watchmaker and start on Doug Adams' last book. May start writing again between them.

I'm reading som e books and such on improving fiction humor, and Fast Food Nation, which I admit I haven't read before.

presently Tolkien (Silmerillion), Arkham House (Return to Innsmouth), Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, Walter S. Miller (St. Liebowitz and the Wild Horse Woman), & Steve Pressman (Tides of War)

Watership Down, Hirohito: Rise and Fall of Modern Japan, and The Aenid

I'm (very casually) reading 'The Honor of the Queen' on Baen's Free Library, and I just finished 'Imperial Earth'. I'm also reading 'Guns, Germs, and Steel', which is a very good read, even though it's nonfiction.

I'm thinking of reading 'Slaughterhouse Five' next, as there's a convienent collection of Kurt Vonnegut works on the bookshelf. If I can ever find it in a damn bookstore, 'Soldiers Live' is on my must-read list.

I also have to read 'Cold Sassy Tree' for school. Urrrrg.

Right now The Count Of Monte Cristo, Just finished LOTR, again.

Just finished Heir to the Empire again and am casting around for my next selection (since my brother in law still has DFR and TLC).

Just recently read Inversions (Iain M. Banks) again...
Presently working thorugh either Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman) (again) and Mona Lisa Overdrive (William Gibson)

American Gods...Have a copy SIGNED by him...and now getting to it.

Oi....need new reading habits.

Also just finished The Stand

Ah, Watership Down, I loved the film and that got me on the book... which I got all of 200 pages into and forgot about, must try again.

Singular Quartet: Ever seen the Neverwhere mini-series by the BBC? I saw it on VHS at my uni's sci-fi club, I hear it's a good adaption of the book.

I've also been finishing around for a copy of 'Gormenghast'

I got my copy signed by hinm at a convention where the term "Neil" became a verb that means "To block traffic" due to the lines that went from one side to the other, then out the door and down the hall of the convention hall he was at.

With my Honorverse CD, Ashes of Victory.


EDIT: Now War of Honor. Holy shit, 60 chapters each twice as long as the previous book's were!

Mostly comics and manga right now. I just finished volume 11 of Love Hina, volume 16 of Ah, Megami-sama, volume 11 of Dragon Ball Z, books 1-4 of Bone, and am currently reading volume 11 of Dragon Ball and book five of Bone.

After that I should start this shoujo-ai manga I bought called Between the Sheets, as well as read the Battle Royale novel again...

Nothing at the current time, although I recently blazed my way through several library books including PREY by Micheal Crichton and a bunch of spy-thriller types.

Just finished Order of the Phoenix, have just started Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors. American Empire: Victorious Opposition comes out in 3 days.

Right! I did finish Order of the Phoenix, too! Right...

I've been reading lots of Java code lately.


public class Braindead
{

int LevelOfTooMuchCoding;
String name = new String();

public void Braindead(int l, String n)
{
this.LevelOfTooMuchCoding = l;
this.name = n;
}

public int HowMuchBraindeadage(int TimeSpentInFrontOfComputer)
{
return (this.LevelOfTooMuchCoding * TimeSpentInFrontOfComputer);
}
}

Six Days of War and The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

Behold a Pale Horse - A book on secret societies
Scarred Soul - A book on self-injury

First off, proper way of doing this would be to use a code tag.
Second, you don't have a default constructer.
Third, those variable are way to long for my tastes, but to each their own...

I guess comics don't count, do they? I can't seem to get into normal books. Every interesting looking regular book I pick up I lose interest in. LOTR is included with this.

Don't see why not .

Seriously I read more comics(more because of influx) then books...and no one is going to tell me that Sandman, Watchmen, Maus aren't considered great works.

I just put down books because my comic book list is usually too long.
