What are you reading and how are you liking it? Once you finish it, tell us if you would reccomend it.

I am reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy



The writing is unique and very descriptive. I haven't gotten very far yet, but so far McCarthy has painted a dreary picture of a post-apocolyptic world where a man and his boy are trying to survive. They are following a road to somewhere...or to find something, and I can't wait to find out exactly where they are traveling to.

Currently reading:

The Orc King, by RA Salvatore



It's just the newest release in the Drizzt series. My favorite currently running fantasy series. Great fight sequences, cool characters, feeds my fantasy thirst.

I'm reading Faust by Goethe for my lit class.



I actually like the story and the style, but that doesn't stop me from being a procrastinator. haven't read very much =P



also, reading this for myself.



horribly written, but it's interesting to see what they got right.

I gave up on The Road. Not that it was bad, I just have superpowered ADD.

Now I am reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Its more interesting than it seems.

I read some in Isaiah last night. Mmmm good.

i am still (most embarrassingly) trying to go get through lord of the rings for the first time...i am so busy all the time that its turning this read into a month long deal...which sucks, but oh well

Steinbeck- Grapes of wrath

um, I'm reading fahrenheit 451.

why did this thread stop?

Who knows.

I just finished Watchmen for the third time.

I'm also in the middle of The Princess Bride. I have never read it before, it's pretty good. Not quite that funny, but still comical. I like all the more depth there is to all the characters.

finally finished fahrenheit 451 (which was fantastic) and now I can't decide what to read! I think it's down to the Hobbit, Watchmen, or Naked Lunch. I think =/!

You should read Watchmen, since it is almost out in theatres. You will be amazed if you have not read it. It's like an entirely different level of comic book.

I'm reading Child 44. Its a thriller/drama set in Soviet Russia in the 50s. Its not super deep or anything, but I like it alot, its quite engaging, and I'm learning alot about what it was like to live in Russia during that time. Absolutely horrible, basically.

I got back into reading World War Z. It's pretty good. I haven't read hardly anything forever. I get a little bit read here and there from various books, but I just don't sit and read anymore.

On my list of things I am planning on reading soon:

That Hideous Strength, CS Lewis
Preacher, comic book series by Garth Ennis
The Hannibal Lecter series, Thomas Harris

I have such a long reading list, it's almost a burden haha. but I think I will read Watchmen next.

Kelt - you should finish The Road. I just did. It wasn't anything amazing but I'd say it's easy enough and good enough to get through.

Currently on Salt Dancers by Ursula Hegi......it's pretty slow but she sometimes delves deep into feelings of longing to make it beautiful.

Yessssssss. I just finished it.

i think i might try to cram in a rereading this month

currrrently:
the life you save may be your own by paul elie
everything that rises must converge (the collection of short stories, not just the one short story) by flannery o'connor (i love flannery o'connor)
chosen by god by rc sproul

now i'm reading:
mystery and manners by flannery o'connor
the habit of being by flannery o'connor
the seven storey mountain by thomas merton



i love flannery o'connor, and the merton is for class and i love reading it... it's very calming.

I finished watchmen, finished reading this book England, England for class, it was really interesting. now I'm reading the hobbit. it's so great so far, I love fantasy adventure type stories.

My boss loaned me a book by the same author as Tuesdays with Morrie. It's called for one more day. I doubt I'll read it.

I just made myself laugh by underlining those titles.
