What book are you currently reading?

New to this text board, and I'm sure this thread isn't an original concept, however, what books are you guys reading at the moment?

For me, it's In The Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami. Got it on a whim, but it has turned out to be a truly chilling (albeit slightly weaboo) book. Long story short, guy is giving tour to foreigner around sex district in Japan, he suspects latest customer to be the culprit of a rash of recent murders.

Just rereading The Catcher in the Rye.

Next on my list is The Inferno.

Child of God, Cormac McCarthy

The Woman in White and Dracula

Netherland by Joseph O'Neill. Hasn't dragged yet, pretty golden.

>>2

Wow, I'm rereading that too...must be the winter weather.

Right now I'm reading The Magic Mountain and Flatland. I started Anathem a while back, but I can't actually claim to be reading it.

Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy.  It's pretty good.

Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin, I got it from a friend at school, I will say I'm rather indifferent towards it however.

imajika and count zero

imajika is good and count zero is better than that piece of shit neuromancer

Buddhism in Ten.

Throne of Jade by Naomi Novak. I liked the first one better, though.

Tom Green's Autobiography. And I ask god why.

Dorothy Dunnett's To Lie With Lions, sixth book in her eight book House of Niccolò series. I've been reading the series almost non-stop and I'm starting to flag. It doesn't help that she upped the drama quotient through the roof in the fifth book, especially as I'm rather disinterested in the other participant in that particular game.

Still, the woman wrote superb historical fiction. This is the twelth book I've soon read from her, and I only have problems with the last two books because I have shipping tendencies. I'd hate myself for criticizing these books because of it, but self-loathing is such a bothersome emotion.

>>13
I am sorry your life turned out like this.

A Clockwork Orange.

American Psycho, and I can't get why people found it so disgusting. If anything it's confusing with all the clothing descriptions.

Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment"

>>17
Agreed.

Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude.
I fucking love this book.

Last night finished American Psycho.

Half the way on 2001 A Space Odyssey now.

Ian McDonald - Brasyl

Not sure if it's good or lame yet.

starting on the diamond age and lolita

because i forgot where i was in lolita

Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. It's like Da Vinci code for culturally literate and intelligent people. The major plot is the same as every other "templar g0n c0ntrul wrld lol" book (except they are going to use a bigass pendulum), but almost none of the first half of the book is even vaguely related. A lot of cultural and historical side story. Great characters and character dynamics.

Brings me back to that blurb about Dan Brown being Umberto Eco on steroids. Made me chuckle, though I regret even laying my hands on anything written by that piece of garbage.

As for myself, I'm reading Hunger by Knut Hamsun.

Just finished the Niccolò series. I wasn't perfectly satisfied with the ending. Not because it wasn't fitting, but because I childishly wanted it to end otherwise. I'll get over it.

No idea what to tackle next. I'm a bit drained and downcast, now that I've read both her fantastic series, and there won't be any more.

>>23
I'm also reading The Diamond Age, heartily enjoying it. And just finished Death of a Salesman for class.  Hmm, not sure how I feel about that one, it was a bit--overrated?

Just finished "City of Dreaming Books." I heartily recommend it. Very well put together.

Currently reading both "Thank You for Smoking" and "Tales of 1,001 Nights"

The Wheel of Darkness by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
The Judas Strain by James Rollins
Utopia by Lincoln Child
Monster by Frank Peretti
Comes a Horseman by Robert Liparulo
Montana 1948 by Larry Watson
A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay

>>29
I read Monster by Peretti. It was ...meh.

The Quixote, by Cervantes, in its original language.
Best book I've ever read.

>>31
Well golly, I wonder what language that could be!

I'm also reading this, it's took me a very long time since I've been busy with other things lately. I'd still recommend this to others even though I myself should re-read it because of my lack of concentration.

I think The Idiot looks to be the next Dostoevsky novel that I will read.

Diary by Chuck Palahniuk.

I finished the Sunne in Splendour by Sharon Kay Penman a few hours ago. It's about the English War of the Roses, with spotlight (and bias) on Richard III. A good book; I've spent these last few hours browsing the Net for more information on him.

American Psycho. The I'm going on to either Naked Lunch, God's Debris, or The Sound and the Fury.

>>38
The only book there that's actually great is The Sound and the Fury, so read that.

Wind-Up Bird Chronicle which is kind of boring me. After that I'll be reading The Once and Future King.
