I saw A Confederacy of Dunces when I glanced at /book/ at one point, and I just finished reading it a while. Ago. Thanks for recommending it by the way, fuckers.
Now I move onto finishing Atlas Shrugged, The Tempest, and then The Last Wish by that Polish guy.
what are you reading currently

Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut. Not a bad book altogether, but a bit of a letdown after reading Breakfast of Champions.

Right now, I'm reading the warrior series with these five books in them:
The Art of War
The Way of the Living Sword
The Five Rings
Code of the Warrior
Hagakure
All are worth reading, though the topics may slip by you.
moral: The simplest things are most commonly overlooked.
ie, buy glasses and take notes. :)

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It's a good read.

Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov. I'm really liking it so far. The constant switching between the poem within the book and it's annotator's (seemingly, at first) irrelevant ramblings makes for interesting reading.
Just finished Duma Key. Quite good I think, a bit of a departure from King's usual stuff. It wasn't overly bloody or gross or twisted. In fact it qas quite pleasant and heart-warming for the first 400 pages, and I really came to like the main characters. King must be getting soft in his old age, but Im not complaining.

Un Lon Dun from China Mieville, but only cause i already read everything else he wrote.It`s not that great , some good ideas as everytime from mieville but not as good as perdido street station, Scar and Iron Council.
If i were you i wouldn`t read it unless you are a Mieville fan.

The movie was pretty shitty and quite tasteless. Report if the book is better.
I have become addicted to these Hard Case Crime books. I'm sucking them down. I've been averaging three a week.

Just finished R. Scott Bakker's The Thousandfold Thought, and GODDAMMIT I thought the whole story would be in a trilogy. There's going to be a second trilogy. Now I have TWO authors writing really long books that I'm champing at the bit to read.
Fuuuuuuuuck.

Just finished Mother Night, which was awesome. Just started reading The Art of War, with which I'm making my way through the somewhat boring introduction. Been reading The Fountainhead, and despite how awesome it is, my attention has drifted elsewhere temporarily.

Only about 200 pages in, but so far I like it. Rather a lot.
Upsetting the Balance by Harry Turtledove. It's the third book in its series, which I've been reading back to back for the last month.
I got to this series nearly at random, but I like it better than many novels people recommended to me.
