What fiction book are you currently reading?

[Cthulhu]

Rereading "The Tomb", the first 'Repairman Jack' novel by F. Paul Wilson. I'm reading the earlier printing from the nineties, with it's Betamax players, cassette boomboxes, and typewriters. Hope to get the update version soon.

[OnlyAnEgg]

Just finished Neuromancer, by William Gibson and am about 3/4 done with Clavell's Shogun.

Next? Taipan, I guess.

 

[kelly keltner]

the most recent fiction book is entitled "How George W. Bush Stole the election"

Now I'm working on "Pandora's Star" by Peter F. Hamilton. His last set of books (Neutronium Alchemist, etc.) were pretty much space opera, whereas this is much more of a harder, speculative style. It's pretty good so far. Hamilton's a fairly decent author.

 

[K Williams]

The Bourne Supremacy(The book is better than the movie...as usual.)

 

[Feisty Mouse]

Paths of the Dead by Stephen Brust.

It's really only the first part of one big novel, the Viscount of Andrilahnka (sp???? - I know that's wrong) series.
I got a whole stack of nonfiction books for Christmas, so I'll be in the other thread for a while, I guess.

Recently, and right now:

The last of the Mohicans

Ivanhoe

The Count of Monte Cristo

The Three Musketeers

The Sea Hawk, by Sabatini
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite fiction books of all time are The Nine Princes in Amber series by Roger Zelazny, and The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogy by JRR Tolkein.

 

[Blindside]

Hard Rain by Barry Eisler, better than the first great urban tactical stuff, nasty knives, and the importance of suprise and range.

Playmates, Ceremony, and Pale Kings and Princes by Parker. More Spenser and Hawk in action. Always good.

The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian by Howard. The first book in a chronological compilation of Conan tales. As a dedicated Sci Fi and Fantasy reader I'm somewhat embarrassed to say that these are the first of the Conan stories I have read.

Legends II: Shortstory compilation, I mostly read it for the Dunk and Egg story as a fix for whenever Martin finishes Feast of Crows.

[Feisty Mouse]

I just finished The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, by Neal Stephenson.

It was excellent.

 

[Cthulhu]

Crisscross - Latest Repairman Jack book from F. Paul Wilson

Just finished re-reading Bernard Cornwell's 'Warlord Chronicles', in my opinion, the best version of Arthurian legend available. Series is comprised of: The Winter King, Enemy of God, and Excalibur

"Little Polar Bear and the Brave Little Hare" by Hans de Beer

Only 43 pages long but WOW does it rock ..<wink>

[Fightback2]

Good, Bad . . . Better (Harlequin Blaze). I admit, without much shame , that I'm addicted to romance novels. (I may look like an unabridged dictionary, but I'm a trashy novel at heart.)

 

[Eldritch Knight]

American Gods. A friend recommended it to me, and its turning out to be quite the page-turner.

 

[Blindside]

Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling sort of a post-apocalyptic northwest US meets the feudal age book.

I really liked it, but then I would be reasonably well prepared should such a catastrophe takes place. I could finally justify my hobby of collecting large, functional, sharp and pointy implements to my wife. I must get into bowmaking though....

[Schtankybampo]

Rain Fall, by Barry Eisler

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by JK Rowling

The Fifth Elephant, by Terry Pratchett

and

Stone of Tears, by Tery Goodkind

Yes, all at the same time. I read zonally. One is in the Living room, one in the car, one in the knapsack, one at my desk...

 

[Feisty Mouse]

Schtankybampo ~ I totally understand the zonal reading.

Right now, I finished up Asimov's Foundation, and am into Foundation and Empire. Quick reads, very interesting, never dull.... Asimov is fab.

I'm thinking of starting the Neal Stephenson Baroque trilogy, but it's huge - I'm afraid I'll get lost in it!

 

[KenpoTess]

Yeppers Zonal reading is all good

I'm reading Fred Saberhagen

The Book of the Gods
The Face of Apollo
Ariadne's Web
The Arms of Hercules
God of the Golden Fleece
Gods of Fire and Thunder

I'm on God of the Golden Fleece right now.. can't find The Arms of Hercules around here.. grrr.. but luckily they are each their own tale.
Good reads

 

[Schtankybampo]

ABE.com is great for gently used titles, I'll bet they can find the one you're missing. Me, I have this weird fetish for the smell of new books, so I'm an Amazon.com girl...

 

[KenpoTess]

Thanks Morgan~!

Yes, Amazon has it and we should all know if we poke the Amazon buttons at the bottom of MT index and purchase.. MT gets a cut


I'm just a penniless Martial Artist who relies on the local library for my books unless it's a collection I really want to purchase.. but since we're in the process of building our house.. I am holding back on having to pack even more books~!!
I'll see if the library can get ahold of a copy

 

[LT2002]

Hope to begin "Rain Storm" by Barry Eisler this week.

Recently finished,
"The way of the warrior" by John Gilbey and
"The Last Juror" and "Bleachers" by Grisham
