What Are You Reading Right Now: Da Return

[quote name='Mr. Anderson']Just started reading Ishmael. I've heard it's one of the greatest books of all time.[/QUOTE]

I've never heard of it.
 
Just finished I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

Rereading all the Harry Potter books because I got caught up in all the hype (weird cuz I remember despising Harry Potter before all my friends made fun of me for not liking the books). In desperate need of suggestions for good books!
 
I'm going through A Panarama of American Film Noir at the moment, and slowly reading California Girl by T. Jefferson Parker. Going to be reading The Da Vinci Code and The Art of Intrusion by Kevin Mitnick soon.
 
I'm just about to finish The Life of Pi (I'm actually listening to the audio book version but I decided that listening counts for the purpose of this thread. And btw, I think the reader does a wonderful job and his voice adds an additional element of enjoyment to the very unusual story. )
 
I finished the Da Vinci Code in a few days. Say what you will about the hype, but it's an awesome book. It's rare that I'd define a book as a 'page-turner' but it really sucked me on. I'm still making my way through California Girl, and started Ingmar Bergman's autobiography, The Magic Lantern.
 
Still reading Lord of Chaos...Such a long book. Good, but long. Though I'm gonna take a break from it next week to read the new Harry Potter.
 
Just finished re-reading Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Chris Moore and Coraline by Neil Gaiman.

Killing time until the new Potter book comes out.
 
I just finished "Gone, Baby, Gone" by Dennis Lehane, which is part of the Patrick Kenzie/Angela Gennaro detective series. I love his style. He writes in a slightly noir voice, and his plots are incredible (same guy that wrote Mystic River).

I'm also reading "The Prophet" by Khalil Gibran, but it's a very short book that belongs on a nightstand for you to read before bed.

I'm not sure what's up next. I want to read something with prose as good as Life of Pi, but I don't know what that something is just yet.
 
Time to bump this one up as I'm finishing up Promethea again and am going to start on my recently aquired from Costco Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
 
H.P. Lovecraft - Tales

It's the "Library of America" complete collection of his lifetime writings, 800 pages from his first publication down to the very last Shoggoth.

Hail the almight Cthulhu! :lol:

Oh, and Of Blood & Gold - Anne Rice
 
I'm trying to finish "The Simarillion" by J.R.R. Tolkien. After that, I'm going to start on "The Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper.
 
[quote name='SneakyPenguin']Read "The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller while on vacation. Awesome book.[/QUOTE]

Still my favorite graphic novel of all time. I'm enjoying making my way through Sin City now, but having seen the movie I'm getting an extreme sense of deja vu.
 
I'm looking to start up and read Star Wars: Tatooine Ghost by Troy Denning, that and actually reading the Shonen Jumps I've been neglecting from December 04 on.

I found this book to be REALLY lacking as far as the EU goes. Not horrible but could have been more of a short story than an entire novel. But you may enjoy it of course.
 
[quote name='SpottedNigel']Harry Potter 5 via PSP and anything DC comics is putting out...back to the reading...[/QUOTE]

how'd you do that? The Harry Potter that is
 
I read Factotum by Bukowski in 2 damn days, and it was awesome.

I'm going through Dan Brown's Digital Fortress and Kevin Mitnick's Art of Intrusion now. I guess it looks like I'm on kind of a techie/hacker kick now, or something.
 
Just got done reading an Archie comic on the toilet.

Was the Archie comic on the toilet or was I on the toilet..? I'll leave that to your imagination.
 
The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing. I figure I've got a month or so before I have to go back to class. I can probably get something going pretty good by then.
