What Are You Reading?

Dunno why, but I've been attempting to read Hobbes' Leviathan. It's significantly more dull than Scott Westerfeld's trilogy of the same name.

Just started reading Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder by Vladimir Lenin.  So far...actually fairly interesting.

Read Henning Mankell's last Kurt Wallander novel, The Troubled Man.  It was good, but like all of Mankell's novels, quite dark.  Also, a discussion began in the book club over whether Mankell is antisemitic.  (My coworker was shocked that there are Americans who are pro-Israel without also being pro-Jew.)

Almost done reading Feist.  I'm up to Rides a Dread Legion now.

Finished History of the arabs by rogan. Amazing.

Now onto the Cosmos by Sagan. Goddamn hes dramatic

[QueenofHearts]

Finished "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely

now reading "Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super-Rich–and Cheat Everybody Else" by David Cay Johnston.

Currently reading Island, by Aldous Huxley.  Finding his writing style a bit purple so far, although he's put forward some interesting ideas.

[Igor]

I finished A Midsummer Night's Dream. I liked it. Still working on Leviathan on and off, Hobbes is an asshole.

I realized I owned a Jane Austen book set and had only read four of them. I'm remedying this.

[Sour Grapes]

The Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings. 

[Igor]

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm reading Death Comes to Pemberley by P. D. James. It's very different from other P. D. James novels in that it's done in the style of Jane Austen and I believe is a direct continuation of the story of Pride and Prejudice (which I admit I haven't read yet), though of course, being P. D. James, it's a murder mystery.

[Feral Dog]

A good chunk of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (this is my first read-through), then I read the most recent two chapters of the fanfiction 'Embers'.

[Askold]

I am reading the Black Company books by Glen Cook. Finished the first one and starting the second.

So far seems interesting.

Also, I found a Judge Dredd book, "Cursed earth asylum," going to see if it's any good.

[Igor]

Just finished Death Comes to Pemberley. It was pretty good, albeit a bit hard to follow at times. I must say, though, if anyone ever tries to tell you that the past was a simpler time, they are LYING.

[Søren]

Demons by dostoyevsky. Havnt read a good fiction in aaaaages

[Igor]

I picked up Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell again. I had tried reading it a couple years back but it was really slow going, and then I got frustrated because I lost a whole bunch of progress when I accidentally pulled my bookmark so I tried to find the approximate page, bookmarked that, and put it away. Picked it up again the other day and it's a much easier read now. I'm about halfway through.
