[thespeakerbox]

Ive spent so much time reading online that i cant remember the last time i read a good book..

Whats the last good book you've read?

 

[Fingolfin269]

I'm reading 'A Feast for Crows' right now. It's the fourth book in the George R.R. Martin series (A Song of Fire & Ice).

 

[ChaoZ]

I'm about to check out Freakonomics.

The Illiad was awesome.

I just finished reading Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz" for a class. I don't really have any "fun" books lined up (too much reading for my classes takes the fun out of reading to relax).

i'm reading "when heaven weeps" by ted dekker.

I recently read Kite Runner but thought it was a bit overrated. I liked it but it wasn't the best book I've read or anything. I liked Mountains Beyond Mountians because it was pretty inspiring.

My favorite authors are George R.R. Martin, Robin Hobb, and Orson Scott Card.

World War Z. Awesome zombie book.

 

[Dogo]

Last two were 'Gates of Fire' about the battle of Thermopylae and 'Eagle in the Snow' about campaigns during the fall of Rome. Both excellent.

as soon as the summer starts I am going to get back into reading The God Delusion. However, the amount of reading I have had to do for classes has presented a problem for reading.
I may also re-read Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, and/or read Michael Crichton's new book, Next.
however, it counts as a book, of sorts... I'll be reading Darren Aronofsky's graphic novel of The Fountain. Also have the other special edition book (ordered accidentally but liked anyway), which includes the screen play in official printed form.

Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" was a great read

I don't know if this is weird or not, but I haven't read a whole book in my life. Not even during my school years...

I read tons of magazines, newspapers and the internet though...lol
