Shakespeare, "Titus Andronicus".

Spandau The Secret Diaries by Albert Speer

I'm reading quite a good one about vampires called The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Well worth a read. I've really gotten into Tracy Chevalier too - Girl With A Pearl Earring, Falling Angels and The Lady and the Unicorn are all cracking reads.

Im half way reading 'The five people you meet in heaven' by... of whathisname... um... mitch albom i think he's called.

Don Quixote (complete and unabridged) by Cervantes. I'm really enjoying it.

The Secret ..

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. I'm about 50 pages in and so far I'm really liking it. I love the writing.

How strange, today I saw a guy on the bus reading that. And I never heard of this book before

Re-Reading "White Night" by Jim Butcher

Just got done reading " The Days Before Eternity" By Rod Parsely

I`m currently reading 'Learning the World' by Ken Macleod. It's a sci-fi novel dealing with first contact with another intelligent yet less advanced race. However the majority of the novel is based on the experience of the alien's, which is quite different and rather refreshing.

It's a sign! You should read it.

Well now I want to read it. I searched it.

'Bodies of Evidence'

Forensic science.

Just finished My Prodigal Son by Pete Dohertys Mum...its a good read and amazing how that poor woman is still sane.

Just started 'Lemmy- White Line Fever'.

The Complete Works Of Edgar Allen Poe...

Done reading "The Pearl". Time to find a new book.

Started reading...... Darkfall by Dean Koontz
Its good so far.. uh huh

Just checked out the novel " Native Son"

Just finished The Traveller by John Twelve Hawks

"The Third Angel"
   Alice Hoffman

The Queen's Fool - Phillippa Gregory

I love her books, and the Tudor time period as u can guess from my name and avatar.

I've just downloaded a copy of the Grand Grimoire's. Looks rather interesting, and looking forward to reading through it.

"Call Down The Stars"

Reading Windhaven
By George RR Martin & Lisa Turtle

So far, so good. I'm trying to find something to read until A Dance With Dragons comes out.

"The Dark Sacrament" Real stories of possessions & exorcisms. Scary as hell.

Im reading "Iron Man". Seen the movie which was good had me
laughing. So now Im checking out the book to see if its good as well.

"Reading Tree and Leaf" by JRR Tolkien right now.

Quite interesting indeed

Just finished reading the Doom novels (which were actually better than the movie) and now onto Alien and Predator novels

Currently re-reading "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" by Alsion Weir.
It is a REALLY good book.

I can't wait to buy "The Virgin's Lover" by Philippa Gregory.
Her new one "The Other Queen" which is about Mary Queen of Scots during her long imprisonment in England. She lived with Bess of Hardwick and her husband the Earl of Shrewsbury. Philippa tells Mary's story from a new perspective and reveals much about the England of Elizabeth.

I also would like to get "Jane Boleyn: The True Story of The Infamous Lady Rochford." (Lady Rochford's testimony sent Anne Boleyn and her husband, George Boleyn to their deaths. It is still controversial as to if she did this on purpose, or was her testimony just twisted around?)

I was reading Tolkien's "The children of Hurin". But, the first few chapters didn't really capture me, so I gave it for a 'bored-read'.

But, I received Manda Scott's 'Boudica', Manda Scott's 'The Crystal Skull', Neil Gaiman's 'Neverwhere' and David Gemmell's 'Wolf in Shadow'.

Choices choices.

Finished "darkfall" was a good read, so i'm in the middle of "fear nothing" also by Koontz

for some reason i hate fiction books of any kind.only 2 fiction books i have ever read was hunt for red october and lonesome dove.
i love reading books like the uncle john bathroom reader books,and biographies from inventors,and well known figures as well as rock stars and groups.
i'm a history and supenatural mysteries freak too and read all of it i can find.

I'm reading The Terror by Dan Simmons. It may seem daunting because of how long it is, but let me tell you, it is very fast pace. An excellent novel if you're into horror.

"Heart-Shaped Box"
          Joe Hill

An aging rock star, collector of the macabre,
buys on internet, a deceased man's suit, and his ghost comes with it....

*Joe Hill is Stephen King's son.

Just finished 'The book of lost things' by John Connoly and it was bloody marvellous!

Reading 'Cosmos' by Carl Sagan at the mo and thats very good too.

Just finished a book by Bill Dare called, Natural Selection, light hearted comedy romance, set in London, the book was lent to me, but worth buying

Stepeh Colbert's "I Am America, And So Can You". It's hilarious if you like satire.
Also i'm reading H.P. Lovecraft's Bloodcurdling Tales of Horror and the Macabre, it's very spooky.

Reading Stephen Kings "Cell" right now. Great book, very well written with a interesting story.
Highly recommended!

George R. R. Martin's A Clash of Kings, Book Two of his A Song of Ice and Fire series.

I'm reading Stephen King's IT right now, so far its pretty chilling.

I just got done reading Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth." But right now, I'm starting "The Last Lecture," "Amazing...but False" and "Science and the Paranormal." Should be a good couple of weeks.

I really only rad magazines not sure if that counts, but that's why I like browsing the internet you do a lot of reading as well as typing. So that somewhat catches up for the reading.

The Source

and XXL Magainze are the main hip-hop magazines in which I read monthy though.

Not to be annoying but it would be nice if you guys would write down a bit more about what the book you are reading is about?

that way this forum would be a great source for new books to read!

For instance I'm about to start on Amazonia by James Rollins because of the info given here

The Other Roswell: UFO Crash on the Texas-Mexico Border

http://www.amazon.com/Other-Roswell-Crash-...3580&sr=8-1

Just finished reading "Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman. It's been addressed a couple of times on this thread according to the search, but I must say it was a most awesome book. One or two minor dissappointments (don't worry, no spoilers for those who haven't read it yet), but when it comes to novels, I'm an admittedly harsh critic. My brother and his fiancee both swear "best book ever". I gave it a 9.5/10. An absolute great book all round.

Mahatma Gandhi's 'My experiments with the truth'. Tis very interesting. I am only half way through. Before then I read 'St Augustines: confessions'. Augustine was a cool saint.

I started this book, but then started reading another book - as is my usual self - but I did buy it on the reviews of others, all of high esteem. I'll get round to reading it soon .


I've just finished David Gemmall's 'Wolf in Shadow'. It's about a world tipped on its axis, set 300 years later, so civilisation as we know it is gone. It's a hero-fantasy novel. The main character is a lone rider seeking the fabled Jerusalem, he's a man of the bible and made finding the fabled city his life's goal. However, he's often drawn into small battles with groups of brigands, and while killing them to help small town's, he's always shoved along due to simple fear of him. He's then brought into a war between himself and a kingdom of a people who follow satan, who call themselves the Hellborn.

It's a great novel, even though it sounds like it, it isn't an overly religious book. Great read if you liked Mad Max, although entirely different, it always kind of reminded me of the apocolyptic world of Mad Max.

Amazon Review


Right now I'm reading ShadowFall by James Clemens. Despite having second thoughts reading the book; Chapter two involves a rape scene. So I was unsure whether I actually wanted to continue reading. But I did and it's a fantastic book so far.
Shadowfall, so far, is about an ex-shadowknight/ex-slave who's crippled, witnessing a goddess being murdered and being branded a god slayer.
