What book are you currently reading?

[Cthulhu]

Just finished Herbert's Heretics of Dune and F. Paul Wilson's Hosts.

I need to get me some new martial arts-related books to read, but I can't really find anything new on the market that looks particularly interesting.

Time to hit the used book stores.

Cthulhu,
read the "Chapter House" for god sake, you've come this far!

 

[Cthulhu]

Planning on it! I need to make another library run.

Are the 'prequel' books worth reading? The Butlerian Jihad book looks interesting, but I guess it'd help to read all the 'House' books first.

They are, beleive it or not, better. The truth is they are written for a broader audience. I have yet to buy a spice girls album.(ha ha)

Tarzan of the Apes--by Edgar Rice Burroughs

The Wizard of Oz--L. Frank Baum (at the insistence of my daughter, who is a big fan)

 

[arnisador]

Haven't even finished those and my son asks that I add the first Harry Potter book since I'm reading something for his sister! Actually I'm enjoying the Harry Potter, I must admit. My son is a big fan and is anxiously awaiting the new book--which comes out while we're in Montreal.

Read all the Harry Potter books after seeing the first movie. Pleasantly surprised.

Just got done reading Dune: House Atreides and currently reading Dune: House Harkonnen. Chapterhouse: Dune is next.

Yes, it's Dune-palooza at my house.

I'm looking forward to the New Harry Potter book called Order of the Pheonix or something which is out on 21st of June here.....Should be really cool

 

[Zepp]

Just bought Shadow Puppets by Orson Scott Card. Haven't started reading this one yet though. Any fellow Ender fans out there?

 

[Cthulhu]

Enders series of books are very good. However, I liked Ender's Game and the Shadow books best. The Enders sequels are still good, however.

I'm eager to pick up Shadow Puppets myself.

Gonna crack open Chapterhouse: Dune tonight.

I've read the first 3 Harry Potter books at least 18 times each (literally) and then I listened to them on tape about 4 times each. I've read the 4th book twice (and then just recently listened to it). I love J.K. Rowlings style of writing. I can't wait for The Order of the Phoenix!!!!

I just started reading Watership Down. I've never read it before.

I'm on the 4th Harry Potter book now (everyone else is on or has finished number 5) and also Colin Wilson's "The Space Vampires (a.k.a. Lifeforce)".

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Just finished Mark McCormacks "Never Wrestle with a Pig" and will be starting on his "Getting Results for Dummies" book tomorow. Also, "Black Hawk Down" by Mark Bowden, and Dan Andersons "Defanging the Snake" Paper version.

Finished the 5th Harry Potter book. Very good, but I had to interrupt my reading of the Dune: House Corrino book. Finishing that now.

Cthulhu

 

[Blindside]

Just finished Manifold Time by Stephen Baxter, Valor's Choice by Tanya Huff, and When the Devil Dances by John Ringo. I reread Archeology of Weapons by Ewart Oakenshott.

I just started a compilation of stories that won the Campbell Award, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and March to the Stars by John Ringo. Oh, started reading through articles in the SPADA compilation on western swordplay.

Actually, 870 pages. I know people who waited in line overnight, bought it, and read it non-stop til they were done.

 

[KenpoGirl]

The phrase ...... "Get A Life" ...... comes to mind.

I haven't read any of them, guess I better get started.
