Books - What are you reading?

Currently reading 'The $50 & up Underground House Book' by Mike Oehler. Pretty inspirational architecture and design, and some awesome theory to boot.

Reading Let the right one in by John Ajvide Lindqvist......it's soooooooooo slooooooooooooooow......but with a certain charm, like the film I guess

Recently started Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. A bit boring so far, quite slow moving but I still have high hopes.

If you like Vonnegut, and haven't read it, read Mother Night. It's sooo good damnit!

Never judge a book by its cover and all that, but that looks lovely!

im reading mr nice by howard marks

The book that I would I like to be reading,

The book that I am reading.

^amazing book that one. I love it, wish I had a copy...

Right now ploughing through this:

I will savage it eventually, but this is the second 500+er on the trot, which in hindsight was a mistake. The whiney Turkish brat is beginning to rile me a little.

Whats The Museum of Inocence like? Ive got a copy of Snow sitting in my bookcase that hasnt been touched since I got it for Christmas in 2001.

It's good, I'm nearly 400 pages down but it needs time...the pace does not reward slipping in and out of it. A friend recommended Museum to me but did say it was a bit of a slog. I hadn't read any of his stuff so I was keen to try it - also based wholly in Turkey which is a place/culture I know nothing about, so there is also a lot of cultural learning packed in too. (That's what I'm telling myself.)

Any Dick fans here? Starting Ubik for the third time this week

Prison Memoires of an Anarchist by Alexander Berkman.

Fascinating and surprisingly relevant today.

Thanks to free books on Kindle.

Stupid Pony

The Tiger Who Came to Tea is, without a doubt, the greatest book for reading to young children. I recommend it to everyone whatever age.

Not a great fan of Palmuk no. Trying too hard methinks. Doesn't flow. And the humour is repeaty.

Really didnt enjoy The Man in the High Castle.

don't mind a bit of dick, and the author's quite good too..

a scanner darkly and flow my tears the policeman said stand out

in genre, have recently enjoyed mieville's the city & the city

Agreed. I love the Tiger

@cliveo & Eightball, I concur, although it pains me that he "drank all Daddy's beer".

Watching the English by Kate Fox. Some good insights into a strange and complex people...

It's a small step up from the classic Xenophobe Guides, which I quite enjoy.

If that's your cup of tea you should try reading The English: A Portrait of a People by Jeremy Paxman.
I found it far more enjoyable than Watching the English.

'Life' - by Keith.

The Prodigy - Hesse. Enjoyable so far.

Prolly..

There's so many nerds here these days I suppose many of them are into sci-fi, Monty Python and fire extinguisher-throwing... Yah?
