"The Spiral Dance" by Starhawk (checked out from the library for a re-read)

[HarryP]

Lots of different ones! A collection of Commando war comics that I got from my local library, a Batman comic book, a book about the Royal Marines Band that I'm reading for my dissertation, the SAS fitness book by Chris Ryan, Wall and Peace by the artist Bansky, and several musical scores, all in a big pile that is about to fall over any time now!

[Pippa]

Perhaps Ulysses isn't the greatest English novel because it was written by an Irishman.  Just finished the latest Le Carre.    Not one of his best

I will Fear No Evil by Robert Heinlein for the 4th time

It is about a rich man who is dying and his brain is transplanted into the body of his beautiful female assistant who is killed.

Heinlein is my favorite author!

NO shame in being a Trekkie!

I haven't seen that title though. the last Trek book I read was the Captain Pike book by Margaret Wander Bornero who's a fellow boardie of mine at the Forum that I've been a regular at for years.

I'm more of fiction reader myself. So right now I'm in the middle Star Trek: A Singular Destiny. I know I'm a Trekkie and lovin' it.

"Shut up, Quit Whining and Get a Life" another t-grrl friend of mine lent it to me because of all of the crap that has become my life recently.

I started reading Whipping Girl by Julia Serano and am finishing up The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker.  I don't normally read Ted Dekker, but I find the trilogy to be a good read.

[Cindy]

Yes!  I ran across it at Walmart the other day, and did a little happy dance in the store.  Got some strange looks, too.     It's called Frankenstein: Dead and Alive.

Hi Jamie,
It has just arrived in Australia, bought a copy yesterday. But I decided I'd better read the previous two to get back into the plot. Thats OK 'cos I have them.


BTW I was reading a David Eddings book. The Redemption of Althalus. Am I the only person who thinks Eddings has written the same book twenty times or so but with a different title?

"Why Zebras Dont Get Ulcers"

It's an examination of stress and disease and the first textbook I've ever enjoyed.

twilight by stephenie meyer

As soon as I finish Valentine Pontifex, I'm going to start the Twilight series.

[Mr. Fox]

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.  I'm reading it because it's assigned, but everyone I know who has read it says it is very good, so I'm enthused.

"the scarpetta factor" by patricia cornwell

[Cindy]

Any good?

Loved her early novels but the last three were boring. Same paranoid stuff.

[Genevieve Swann]

Therapy by Jonathan Kellerman. Boring as hell but I'm about half way and can't stop. It may get better. I have read all of stephen kings novels and Clive Cussler is great.

[Tammy Hope]

silly I guess but I found a novelization of the "Knightfall" storyline from the Batman comics at a yard sale or something for a quarter and I've been using that for casual reading lately...

[alexx]

Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz and The Forbidden Game by L.J. Smith.

[Zack]

Selfish Gene, By Richard Dawkins.

[JosephKT]

@Megan, I love that book, Oscar Wilde was amazing

@Ayana, actually I too have Musashi's "Book of Five Rings" at my stack of books I am reading

My little stack is as follows

"Globalization and its Discontents" by Joseph Stiglitz
"Book of Five Rigns" Musashi Miyamoto
"Starship Troopers" Rober Heinlein
"Tao Te Ching" Lao-Tzu
and underneath all that somewhat covertly inside the TIME magazine titled "The Best Laws Money can Buy" is a dirty gay mag... - -;;

[jamesdc]

Journey to the End of the Night by Ferdinand Céline
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham (3 copies of it, I'm a nerd, it's amazing though)
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

And a giant manuel of writing AppleScripts. Woo..
