What's Everyone Reading At The Moment?

[MindlessRuffian]

I LOVE Lemony Snicket. Daniel Handler's novels under his own name are also excellent (despite 'Watch Your Mouth' being more than a little weird).

I've only read all the Lemony Snicket books! I must look into his non alias books

I'm not reading many books, but atm I'm listening to the book "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution" by Richard Dawkins. Really good.

Could never read it. It was endlessly referenced as a side note in my Social Evolution class. Having a man that looks like Bill Nye ramble on about it at 9:15AM after you stayed up all night studying for a Anthropology of Latin America midterm? No fun.

I still have all the audiobooks. He's written three so far- 'The Basic Eight', 'Watch Your Mouth' and 'Adverbs'. I love his writing style, it's so original.

DARA HORN - THE WORLD TO COME

Amazingly other worldly

"Serious Pleasures: The Life Of Stephen Tennant"

 

[Jezebel]

Oedipus.


You know, the famous mythological greek story about the guy who sleeps with his mother.
Well, it's about more than that and I do not like it when the story is reduced to just that.
However, really interesting. Saw it as a theater play last week.

The Blood of Others by Simone de Beauvoir
(re-reading)

It's incredibly morbid, but in a good way.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

nothing right at this moment but today I finished a great book:

 

[M-in-Oz]

The Blood of Others by Simone de Beauvoir
(re-reading)

It's incredibly morbid, but in a good way.

I love that book

It's just after Christmas so I'm reading 'New Moon' as someone always gets a trashy novel & we all pass it around the family. I'm also reading 'Midnight's Children' by Salman Rushdie.

 

[Jukebox Jury]

'Fear' by Jeff Abbott

Quite a good thriller, lots of twists and turns in each chapter.
Read a previous book of his, 'Panic' - bought on the strength of the name for £3 at Fopp in Manchester and that too was a great read.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

I'm being forced. However, I hate it less than Catcher in the Rye.

 

[Poppy Full]

George Orwell - Nineteen Eighty-Four.

I've never had any desire to read this book, not since I tried and failed to read 'Animal Farm' when I was thirteen. But my friend would only agree to read Irvine Welsh's 'Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs' if I read his suggestion of Orwell, so here we are.

You're minds.

Your thinking my grammar is shit.

"Underworld" Don DeLillo (great book)

 

[SoVeryEntertainig]

John Braine's Room at the top

That book sucks hemorrhoids
