What book are you reading now?

BigTiger · 07-01-2011, 04:22 AM

Yeah, I'm a bit of a nerd so I usually spend time reading books although compared to my youth or when I was single I now only really read on the way home or to work. But I'm curious as to what books people are reading and what got you into reading it?

Currently I am reading a Fantasy book (told you i'm a nerd) called Warhammer: Gotrek & Felix - The Second Omnibus. It is a series that I got hooked up to when i went to a local roleplaying shop (non-sexual thank you) and enjoy it due to the theme it depicts. The book is written by William King and I can recommend it if you like to have good old fashion action mixed with horror and romance. It's not a simple book.

"The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat and Other Clinical Tales" Oliver Sacks

pjcmcg66 · 07-01-2011, 06:41 AM

The Inner Circle, Brad Meltzer -- part presidential intrigue, some history mixed in, part scavenger hunt. The main character is an archivist for the National Archives, whose job it is to spend hours poring over dusty tomes in search of the past. Solidly written, quite enjoyable for history buffs, but contemporary, a book for those who like the idea of details and mystery.

I'm splitting my reading between 2 books right now...Keith Richards' book, and 'Among The Truthers' by Jonathan Kay (expose on the whackos who believe all the conspiracy bs about everything from 9/11 to Obama's birth locale).

gabrielle22 · 07-01-2011, 10:32 AM

Rereading for the millionth time "Kushiel's Dart" by Jacqueline Carey. Brilliant fantasy and lots of well written smut.

Lamar69 · 07-01-2011, 08:02 PM

A book titled ; Swan Song

Phineous10 · 07-05-2011, 10:14 PM

Tom - you and I are too much in common. I am reading Keith's books as well - slowly but I am enjoying it. You should check out David Byrne's as well. Little smarter (well alot) so it's a different read. Plus your Optimus Prime cartoon freakin killed me.

DrCharming · 07-05-2011, 10:24 PM
