Wheel of Time - Book 11!!!!! Gah!!! Will this series never end!?!?!?

I am also reading some book I can't remember the name of for English at school, but that sucks so it doesn't really count.

**macsen rufus** · 10-28-2006, 13:28

"Iron Council" by China Mieville -- excellent stuff as usual

Lined up on my bookshelves waiting to be read (after the last trip to the bookshop...)

"Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk (love the film, so thought I'd go to the source)
"1984" by George Orwell (time to re-read it, methinks, essential reading for anyone struggling to understand WoT and the post-9/11 world.)
"Saturday" by Ian McEwan (one of my fave authors, so I know I'm in for a treat)

The Peloponnesian War, by Donald Kagan
Foundation's Edge, by Isaac Asimov
The Clan of the Cave Bear, by Jean M. Auel (a gift)

**ajaxfetish** · 11-07-2006, 06:19

Just finished Peyton Place for my American Pop Culture class. Definitely the most moving book I've read in years. The combination of high quality writing and a willingness to deal honestly with issues that make people uncomfortable even today was at the same time disturbing, enlightening, and satisfying. I'm not sure how to express it. It's amazing to me that this was written in the 50's, when husband and wife each had their own twin bed and so on.

Geez Krazilec, why do you have to emphasise it was a gift MUHA, a not so bright yet pretty hot girl I know was lyrical about the existance of prehistoric oral sex

Reading 'The selfish gene', absolutily awesome.

I'm still at page 120 or so, no oral sex so far (or I missed something). Probably a good thing as the main character hasn't even hit puberty at this point

I was expecting very little of it, but it's not bad actually.

**Stig** · 11-07-2006, 12:37

Just finished Fall Braun/de Strijd om Kapelsche Veer (doubt it's translated into English)

Now I'm only reading books for my study:
Nederland in de Prehistorie
and The elements of Archaeological Conservation

damned much

**Kralizec** · 11-07-2006, 12:41

Study books don't count

**Stig** · 11-07-2006, 12:53

They do if they make sure you don't have time for other books.

**Aenlic** · 11-10-2006, 13:07

Reading 3 books currently:

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman - great storyteller. This is a sort of sequel to the amazing American Gods. Gaiman, by the way, wrote the screenplay for the still in post-production movie Beowulf.

The Tyranny of the Night - first in a new series by Glen Cook.

The Ecology of Freedom: the emergence and dissolution of hierarchy - by Murray Bookchin. Non-fiction. A political treatise on hierarchies in political systems and an examination of anarchist thought on governmental structures.

**Incongruous** · 11-10-2006, 22:54

Othello and 1984.

**Shabbaman** · 11-11-2006, 12:33

I'm reading Knife of dreams, by Robert Jordan. It's book 11 from the wheel of time saga, and somehow I was hoping that it was finally time for Tarmon Gaidon, but I'm near the end of the book now and it feels like I have to wait for book 20...

**SwordsMaster** · 11-11-2006, 18:15

Addicted to War by Jon Steele. I recommend it although it is no War and Peace. It is still quite a revealing read for all our collective capitalist mindsets.

**Scurvy** · 11-11-2006, 20:32

You don't have to be evil to work here, but it helps - by Tom Holt, very funny

**AggonyDuck** · 11-12-2006, 05:03

I've been lately reading War & Peace and it has definately been worth the effort. Tolstoy's writing is wonderful and it raises many thoughts for the reader. Great book.

**AntiochusIII** · 11-12-2006, 05:22

Trudging through Les Miserables, slowly and surely. Right on the eve of Waterloo.

And having a beyond-awesome kick from a Great Teacher Onizuka (manga). Schoolyard dramas from teachers' perspectives never get this good...or this funny. And that genius girl Urumi sure is a captivating character.

False Gods (DoW40K)
Galaxy in Flames (DoW40K)

**Beirut** · 11-12-2006, 13:05

I'm my Amazon order ever gets here I'll be re-reading Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (1884) by Edwin Abbott. Very interesting little book about life and love in one, two, and three dimensional space. Amazon had it for $2.25. Gotta love it.

Ordered Machiavelli's The Prince as well. A good one to have on the shelf and refer to during spousal arguments.

Had both books before but they were destroyed in The Flood at my old house. The hot water tank downstairs sprang a leak, only noticed three days later. Thought the municipal water was low on pressure again. Happened all the time. When I went into the basement (outside access only) there was 18" of water and hundreds of my books stored in boxes became nothing but sponges. Including two years of Janes Defence Weekly issues and four or five of the big Janes reference books, at $200 each.

What a massacre.
