What book are you reading...

Laren Niven - Ringworld, Rinworld Engineers, Throne (I have forgotten the full name off of the top of me head, Ringworld's Children.

I just love the canon around the Known space books (Ringworld especially).

I am also about to start reading Padora's Star (Peter F Hamilton - part of the Commenwealth Saga) and Seeds of Earth (Michael Cobley - Part one of the Humanity's fire trilogy).

Additionally I also have all of the Halo books to go through again - I found them suprisingly enjoyable, especially liked Fall of Reach.

Rainbow Six - Tom Clancy

This is my second time reading this book, and i am enjoying it just as much as the first.

Use of Weapons by Iain M Banks Cracking Sci-fi read

I've started, but I am struggling to get into, The Understudy by David Nicholls. I'm sure I'll finish it, but a little disappointed seeing as I enjoyed Starter for 10 so much

Dan Brown - Angels & Demons

cos it's on my Desire Kindle and the other choices are old old books.

Just finished Dead Run by PJ Tracey. Absolute trash and not even fun trash. Have read a couple of others in the series and found them ok as trashy thrillers, but this one was devoid of a sensible plot, and character development or believability.

Aberystwyth Mon Amour - Malcolm Pryce

I don't read much too be honest (maybe 5 books a year). The editor bought this in and recommended it. Hope to finish it tonight.

Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman.

I read Smoke & Mirrors before this. It was completely twisted and weird and so far Neverwhere has not dissapointed.

Will be reading Mustaine: A Life in Metal, after this.

Bought A song of ice and fire series, a third of the way through the second book, but it's getting slow. To much describing and not enough action at the moment. I will persevere though.

On book two of Tawny Man ATM, after the Assassins and Live Ships. Much under-rated writer.

Very much so. I've read and enjoyed the Liveship Traders Trilogy and have now finished the Soldier Son Trilogy. Not got to Assassins or Tawny Man yet. They are on the list soon though

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire.

Great stuff. Slowly working my way through the EU novels in chronological order. Might be a while before I'm reading the latest series..there are to many

Currently on book four of the Darktower series.
Still havent decided if i like em or not

The reality dysfunction.

Read the commonwealth books already, so moving onto these. Only 10% of the way in, but it's pretty slow starting.

Keep going and it'll make your mind up for you. The last 2 were terrible.

Last book i finished was Starship Titanic; pure comedy gold. Terry Jones inspired by Douglas Adams? How can you beat that?

Instead of finishing (or indeed starting) one of the various books i have lying around i'm thinking about getting Looking for Alaska by John Green, largely on the merits of his (and his brother's) vlog.

Just finished it actually, but I was reading Phil Gordon's Little Green Book. Trying to improve my poker game.

xxalxx · 2 Sep 2011 at 06:23

I am reading the "Age of Five" trilogy by Trudi Canavan, onto book 2 now very good read as well, though it isn't as good as "The Black Magician Trilogy" ..... yet.

Currently re-reading the Harry Potter books before I see the last two films on BD.

After that I have Temeraire by Naomi Novik waiting for me, and the first two three part series by R A Salvatore about Drizzt Do'Urden. Plenty of fantasy goodness
