I'm almost done with "A Simple Plan" by Scott Smith. Amazing book so far; I'm also looking forward to watching Sam Raimi's film version of it after I finish reading it.

Just finished Catch22.

Loved it.

Currently halfway through Bryan Magee's The Story of Philosophy. It's a DK book, so really nicely laid out - and well written to boot.

Re: currently reading?
 

Guess I'll chime in.

Just finished "The Name Of The Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. I don't read books much, but this was a great book, couldn't put it down.

I started re-reading Ringworld, I read it 10 years ago and can't remember much about it.

Classic Len Deighton for me. Picked up a 1960s edition of Horse Under Water with Michael Caine on the front. Its good stuff!

At work a good morale booster is to read during breaks. After burning through the 33 1/3 of Loveless I turned to The Beach by Alex Garland. I had read this book once in high school, learning about it from the movie. Reading it again, I am taking so much more away from it. After having smoked and drank and gotten to know mary I can understand the little things in this book a lot more. I'm already halfway through it again and I tried watching a little of the movie to refresh my memory on some things, but to my surprise, I can not enjoy the movie anymore, its terrible compared to the book. I never noted this before. Hollywood yet again ruining a perfectly good story. The book, however, is timeless.

I read a lot of books on religion and spirituality; especially eastern religion. I read a lot of books on Buddhism. I have a new one I'm reading by a Zen master named Thich Nhat Hanh (Vietnamese) called Living Buddha, Living Christ. It is book centered on interfaith dialogues that he has conducted between Buddhism and Christianity, as well as research he has conducted. The book talks about what the two religions have in common and how both promote better living through ethics and virtue, and how this can be applied to help individuals and societies.

I suppose I should read more than I already do. I read every now and then. I should get into some good fiction. Maybe some sci-fi and fantasy.

Currently reading Huan Of The Horn, by Andre Norton. Basically, a later addition to the Charlemagne cycle last translated into English by Sir John Bourchier (Lord Berners) as "Boke of Duke Huon de Burdeux" in 1534 & adapted by Andre Norton in 1951. Finished, and give it about a 3 out of 10. The ONLY reason I read this is because I'm a huge Norton fan, but I really wouldn't recommend it, even to a Norton completest.

Re: currently reading?
 

Now I'm reading Darkwalker on Moonshae, the first volume of the Forgotten Realms series of books, based on Dungeons and Dragons. I'm just starting Ch. 4 and so far? Worse than the Andre Norton book!

Edited to say: Yep, total crap!

Re: currently reading?
 

This thread is waaay too long for me to look back, but I have just finished a fantastic book - in all the senses of the word - by Ben Aaronovitch called "Rivers of London" and am chomping at the bit to read the next one.

As one of the reviewers put it: Imagine if Harry Potter grew up and joined the Met? It is crime, humour and fantasy all bundled up into a roller-coaster of a ride through London, and is a really good read.

Re: currently reading?
 

Seems like you're lacking for reading material, jOHN. I can suggest some stuff, but you wouldn't like it...

And your response? I won't like it either. But at least one person will have read it. So good on you for enlightening.

Re: currently reading?
 

ooh holden holden holden

Re: currently reading?
 

Glad to provide you with new material! You've given me so much...

In all seriousness, jOHN.
You're entitled to your say.

Continue to post on and on and on. But you realize that you're really just posting for me, a guardian of the ol' dirts.

Waiting for your pithy response.

Here's the inside deal. Ready?

No one has really cared about these boards since 2007.
You might as well post your songs of the day to friendster. But bless you anyway.

I'll be here to always counter. It's pretty much just you and me, i'm ready for the laugh. Let's read up on some UW lyrics and take a break from posting nonsense, deal?

Re: currently reading?
 

Pithy ol'holden . . Doing his thing. Look at you go! Why so angry?
C'mon, suggest me some reading material, ya know, here in the 'bound' thread of Dirty Forums. Members here might begin to think you have autism. Not that that there would be anything wrong with that if you were.
