[ratherbeinsane]

I sometimes wonder if any of you kids leave the xbox or compy long enough to do anything else, sometimes i find myself having a hard time stopping playing as well, but what are you kids reading in the real world?

Currently I'm working on "Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut.

I'm reading your post, what did you think i was reading?

I'm not really a reader but the last book i read was HEAT 6 months ago, the only reason being because it wasn't on sparknotes :(. Every book assigned through school i usually sparknote unless i find it interesting and am willing to sacrafice time to read it....which usually isn't the case.

[jorGe62990]

Two books for college:

-Left to Tell
-The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

[FlyBoy120586]

Black Hole by Charles Burns
Its a very weird graphic novel that I am reading for my Technical Writing class.

[Pez]

I'm not reading anything educational or sophisticated. It's comical actually, and plenty of pictures, illustrations, biased views and glorifying (sp?) Britain comments.

Al Murray: The Pub Landlord - Book Of British Common Sense.

I'd type up the blurb, but it does a bit of minor bashing on France and Germany... :p

[I King Pin 0]

My monthly subscription to Game Informer of course!

[Honkymagoo]

Right now I'm catching up (well, going back really) on my Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child novels. Right now the title is Brimstone. All of their books are simply fantastic.

[OldWIKI TIK]

Well, I am not reading at the moment, but the last book I was reading was a great titile! The 2008 National Construction Estimator.
1949

[Illution]

I would currently be reading World War Z by max brooks (that's how you spell it right?)

[WhiteKnightMike]

I used to read loads but not so much now. I used to have piles of books against my wall on my BED whilst I was sleeping! That's how much I loved reading once.

[strey101]

School Books and The Pendragon series. The Pendragon series is my favorite

[AllThePenguins]

At the moment I cannot get enough of anything by Lee Child, his books are absolutely amazing, If you like Tom Clancy you will love thse too. His hero Jack Reacher is an absolute legend! I have just ordered the 9th one in the series and there hasn't been a bad one yet!

[Yann]

Paradise Lost
Dantes Inferno
Welcome to the N.H.K manga
and V for Vendetta.

(I need to finish these)

[nymetsfan1575]

Both books are for school summer reading. Black Boy and Native Son, both by Richard Wright, haven't actually READ them yet, putting them off till the last week of summer (both are 400 pages) to just Sparknote them.

[jarhead1990]

The Dead Zone - Stephen King

Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad

[WanderFreak]

Last couple I read:
Colin Angus - Beyond the Horizon: The Race to Finish the First Human-Powered Circumnavigation of the Planet
Colin Angus - Amazon Extreme: Three Ordinary Guys, One Rubber Raft and the Most Dangerous River on Earth

Currently reading, to finish off all three of Angus' books:
Colin Angus - Lost in Mongolia: Rafting the World's Last Unchallenged River

Next up I believe will be Jack Kerouac - On the Road

[AlphaXGamerXDad]

Currently going through Johnny Got His Gun, by Dalton Trumbo. It's the inspiration for Metallica's "One", but I'm not going to lie, I absolutely hate it. It came out in 1939, a time in which they apparently had no punctuation, so paragraphs are just single run-on sentences.

Currently I'm working on "Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut.
Have you read Hocus Pocus? I found that one in my mom's collection, and it was great.

[exo-apollo]

Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad

Excellent book! Right now I just finished reading Plato's The Apology for a class im taking at uni.

[DJbruce]

I am currently reading Colour of Magic by Terry pratchet.

[chrisie81]

I'm currently reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

Reading this sentence on the back;

"It’s just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. . . ."

Had me hooked, a tough read apparently, I'm hoping I can read it all the way through!

[Randomnutta]

i dont read unless its about games and such.. i think a hell of alot tho.. comes with being a libra

[Missis Beki]

[Fly]

The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, 5 part trilogy by Douglas Adams. Amazing book and great humour! If you haven't read it, do it.

[freekwonder]

Just got done reading 'Punk Rock Dad' and am currently reading 'Is belief in god good, bad or irrelevant?'

[Tym]

I'm currently reading http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51iJP4rolHL._SL160_AA115_.jpg. It's a very interesting story about a world where superheroes (and supervillains) are quite ubiquitous and not that unlike regular people. Very funny and will give a charge to any true comic book fans.

[Adam Miller]

This thread.










Really though im reading Prettyboy by Roy Shaw agan..

[JoePie]

I just finished Russell Brand's autobiography.
I absolutely hate that lad, but everyone kept telling me his book was really interesting. It wasn't. And he writes likes he talks which really annoyed me.

I'm going to start Hitchhiker's Guide... now. I've always wanted to read it, but never got around to it.

[master_shake_350]

Get Backers
Although it's volume 27 I recall.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of reading big books because well...all of 'em people told me to read were crap, and school forcing you to read books doesn't make you like it.

Before that I was reading harry potter 4 but I lost track of page so didn't want to start over or start "around this spot".

So, I read comics/manga's mostly, if you call that reading (which I do).

Last book otherwise was "Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller (go go English exam).

[Female Ninja]

I will be honest...I am reading English Vocabulary in use (Advanced) by Michael McCarthy and Felicity O'Dell...

Other than that I am reading the manga to-LOVE-ru...

[Tym]

I just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay and am now working on Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

So was the last one as horrible as I've heard? He's not actually messed up, he's just possessed by some ancient Sumerian big baddie? Ugh. I *love* the Showtime series and I was thinking of starting the read the books but now I'm not so sure.

[jimbonoel]

I am reading Animal Farm by George Orwell, I read it in Year 9 for an English essay and enjoyed it so decided to read it again.
