I was reading 1984, but I was interupted by having to read Clothar the Frank for school.

"The Righteous Men" by Sam Bourne. 'The biggest challenger to Dan Brown's crown', according to the Mirror. I'm also working my way bit-by-bit through Return of the King, which I read when I haven't got any other books on the go.

I've been too busy to read through anything lately. :(

Unless ofcourse music books count where I'm having to learn pieces out of about 8 different books at once.
nope.

I am currently reading the second book of the Warcraft : War of the Ancients trilogy. Mainly when I find time, which is usually a few minutes to read a chapter each night before going to bed.

Quick note : This new post stuff sucks.

Just finished Books of Blood v. 1-3 by Clive Barker. Pretty nice collection of short horror stories, some have quite imaginitive plots. One of the most notable was where two towns formed giants by building them outta villagers, and then had the giants do battle. Detail was pretty crazy as to how the giants worked/looked.

Now, gonna start finishing the Sherlock Holmes compendiums that I have.

Right now I'm re-reading The Parafaith War by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. Awesome book, mine is an autographed copy :)

Just before, I read Eifelheim by Michael Flynn. Totally awesome, a mix of history and science fiction. Just rocked.

Before that, I read Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It's his second published novel. It totally rocks.

I'm rereading Critical Path by Buckminster Fuller. It's an excellent book.

The Belgariad and The Mallorean. I read them last time years and years and years ago, and I thought they were pretty good books back then. But I should have left them as dim memories only, because when I now read them, they aren't exactly that exquisite...

"Consent to Kill" by Vince Flynn. It's actually rare that I read something for fun anymore, just because I spend so much time reading for school.

Eragon and Vanity Fair, which are both just ok. I wish I hadn't left Dune at home.

lots of things really. slowly working my way through the vampire chronicles/mayfair witches by anne rice, in audio format.

Underworld, by Graham Hancock. nonfiction. it has nothing to do with vampires.

Was God From Outer Space? i forget the author. they made an "In Search Of" episode out of it, called "In Search of Ancient Astronauts". nonfiction

thats all i can think of at the moment but theres prolly others.

The only thing I'm really "reading" now is On Truth by Harry G. Frankfurt. I'll have to read his more well-known book, On Bull**** at some point. I also need to finish the Dark Tower series.
