What are you reading next?

I'm reading the second of the Dean Koontz Frankenstein books.  Next up is something I can't remember - but it looked interesting at the library.  My books are due Wednesday, though, so I probably won't get to it.  I need to pick up some mindless trashy novels for my trip.

The next post.
Okay, Missy.  What BOOK are you reading?

I was kinda reading Empire Falls, but Jason knocked it in the toilet.  It was his book though, so I guess it's ok.  I haven't been in a reading frame of mind lately.

Hmm.

I'm in between books, but I've been casually reading my knitting book my (hopefully) soon to be sis in law sent, and I'm going to tackle "The Blind Assasin" next.

I got "Grant and Sherman: The friendship that won the Civil War" from DC, I'll read that too.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

Just finishing Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman

Probably going to either pick up something by John Irving next or reread the Xanabasis.

I was thinking about getting into Eastern European mythology. Dunno, I'll have to see what they have at the bookstore.

I am reading Spin State by Chris Moriarty. I just finished listening to Stephen King's The Gunslinger (book 1 in the Dark Tower series) and am in the middle of listening to Charlaine Harris latest southern vampire series book.

I don't know what I am going to read/listen to next. Probably download book two of the Dark Tower series.

Book two is when it begins to be good.

VikingJuice

Now, next and in no particular order: When Pride Still Mattered(Vince Lombardi Bio.), Friday Night Lights(the basis for the movie), Darkness by Asimov, and the Meaning of Relativity about Einstein and how his discoveries have shaped our world the last 60+ years.  I'm quite ADHD and my interest comes and goes with different projects but I'll nurse them all along in various stages of completion and finish them all during or right before summer.  Then I've got I Robot-Asimov, A Brief History of Time(for the second time) and The Cat Who Could Walk Through Walls-Heinlein waiting in the wings.

esquire magazine, the local newspaper( which is pitiful ) but i'm hardly ever here to know what is going on.  and a cajun cookbook...

Next: Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid.  (my friend Colin said that if you can see past the thick and semi-masturbatory number theorem, it's a decent read)

I loved that series when it came out.  Now they make me giggle.

I finally found time to sit down and read Kawabata Yasunari's Snow Country and I'm contemplating on starting either Kawabata Yasunari's Master of Go, Edward Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Herbert P Bix's Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan or possibly find a book detailing the history of Edo era Japan.

I read it.  It's pretty good.

Listener

Currently:  Iron Council, the third book in a series by China Mieville.  The hardest of the three to read because even after 100 pages you're still not quite sure where he's going with this, and in this one you really do need to have read at least Perdido Street Station (the first one) to understand the politics of the city.  Also has a lot of homosexual themes, which doesn't bother me but may bother others.  These books have been called phantasmagoric, and I totally get that.

Next:  Don't know.  Probably going to reread something.  My next "must have" book will be the third Moonworlds book by Sean McMullen.

Recently:  "Superfolks", a superhero satire book from the 70s.  "Finding Serenity", the essay collection about the TV show Firefly.
