Ok for the high brow crowd what books you are reading

[big nasty kcnut]

I'm reading The New American Revolution by tammy bruce. She is a great thinker and funny.

I'm the same way, I usually have one regular book going (right now it's R. Scott Bakker's The Warrior-Prophet, entertaining, but not mindless...), one audiobook going (Hard Magic by Larry Correia) and I'm going to add a book on writing to the mix in the near future (not sure which, I have several).

Just finished the Harry Potter series. Can't wait to see the last movie. I have a feeling it's going to be quite different from the book.

Going to read a book call Uglies by Scott Westerfeld before starting one the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.

Slowly reading "the lone survivor" by Marcus Luttrell...good book.

Finished "Helmet for my pillow" last month.

[Delano]

Hey, this is an alright war novel.

Ended up starting Hunger Games. I think I'm going to like it.

I'm finally reading A Game of Thrones and I'm loving it so far.

I've got a couple friends hounding me to start reading the Dresden books. I'd like to, but it's also just a LOT of books to read. Big commitment.

dude, just do it. the first book isn't his best (he wrote it as a college writing project), but the prose and his writing ability get better and better the further you go into the series. I can't put this more succinctly... FREAKING READ THE DAMNED BOOKS.

Ha. You sound like my buddies. I will eventually, I'm sure.

heh, it took something roughly like that for me to read them initially. my wife and MIL had read him from the beginning, and kept telling me to read them. after constant nagging and shouting at me to read them, I read the damned books. one of the better decisions I've made in a while.

if and when you read them, do yourself a favor and read them in order. it really does help, as there's roughly a 23 story main arc--he's a little over half done.

Don't worry. I'm obsessive over reading or watching things in order. I've watched TV shows where people tell me to start on the 2nd or 3rd season and I refuse. I wold rather suffer through lower quality work in order to avoid missing something that might be important later.

Maybe I'll start reading a Dresden book every other book I read to move through them without completely dominating my reading time.

I'm reading Unbroken at the moment. Excellent book written by Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Just finished this book. Pretty fascinating story, but he could have hired an editor. Littered with typos, punctuation errors, etc.

[Over-Head]

Just about to start
"The Spy" by Clive Cusler
