There really does need to be one.

I havent read anything all the way through in a while, but I plan to start Game of Thrones soon.

What are you reading?

Im currently reading "The moon is a harsh mistress" by Robert Heinlein which is pretty good. Finding time to read has been hard with all the reading I do at school but im planning on finishing it this summer.

I also got a huge book that contains all the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy books for birthday which I have briefly started. I love Adams, such a good writer.

FE will be proud to hear that I got my girlfriend to read "And then there where none" and I cant wait until she finishes that!

The book you got her to read wasn't the surprising part of that statement.

Ari get her to join FE!

The HitchHiker's Guide is so good. I haven't read the one not written by him based on what he'd done before his death but his books are wonderful. They kind of sloped at the end but the first three are incredible. Enjoy!

hehehe just got the joke!

I'm reading Great Expectations

Ari just reminded me that i actually bought ATTWN a few weeks ago. Might read that soon .

A Storm of Swords, finished Clash of Kings. After I finish this series I'll get back to my Tom Clancy.

The main Tom Clancy book I want to read is Rainbow Six. Looks like a great counter-terrorism story.

Everyone read ATTWN! :yay:

If any of you liked that then you should try another Agatha Christie. Murder on the Orient Express/The Murder of Roger Ackroyd are two of my favorites

I bought Catch-22 like two years ago but haven't gotten around to reading it. I want to pretty bad. Might start soon

ATTWN is pretty awesome. I need to re-read it again.

I love the Hitchhiker's series quite a bit. I go through them every year or so, and marvel at all of the things I missed on previous readthroughs - though the new one by Eoin Colfer is rather subpar and I felt that it lacked a great deal of Adams' original humour.

Currently reading through a bunch of novels by Haruki Murakami, because he's a hallmark figure in the transition between post-modernism and post-post-modernism and that's a big ol' deal both in the literary community and in the grad school essay I'm writing on that very subject. Currently reading some Vonnegut as well - though it's not going well. He's postmodern in the extreme, if "postmodern" means, "so deeply into frame narrative that the very idea of a plotline gets lost all together."

Other recent reads include:

Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet by Joanne Proulx
Petropolis by Anna Ulynich
Out by Natsuo Kirino
We The Living by Ayn Rand

I just moved into Robette's place, so all of my books are stacked in milk crates, but my intention is to go through them all and catalogue them, more for the curiosity of finding out exactly how many books I have, as well as how many of them have any actual literary merit. (I'm guessing not terribly many, if you don't count the set of old-edition Dickens and Dumas books that I got for free and haven't opened yet.)

I'm terrible at finishing books. I always start one, get halfway through, and then get distracted and move on to another book. I think the last books I actually finished were A Game of Thrones (very good! Better than the show) and ATTWN (good but not as good as the fanfic)

I have that exact problem, but ebooks seem to have helped this habit a lot for me. I don't know why reading on my phone makes such a big difference, but I've actually managed to finish a few books ever since I realized I had a kindle app on my droid.
