What Book(s) are You Currently Reading?

[the_pestilence]

Thought this would be an interesting thread to start, assuming anybody on bbw is literate :dribble: Right now I'm reading Sun Tzu's art of war. Not because I like it, but because nearly any business job or internship wants you to have read it, so I might as well just in case that's the way I want to go in life.

 

[kingjamez]

I honestly don't read books.. All I read are magazines, and online articles...

 

[Memphology]

Im re-reading Johnny Tremain. Its amateur, but I read it before, and didnt appreciate it. So I want to reread it and understand it.

 

[ElMaster]

I gotta read Don Quijote for when we come back from spring break...it's the short version, it has like 300 pages and I haven't started.

 

[P0W3RBALLIN]

In english class, we're reading the Bible, as in literature. I myself just started getting a subscription to Newsweek magazine, so I've been reading them and they're really interesting

 

[ASUFan22]

I like to read, but once Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter are done with I'd like to read some "grown-up" books so any suggestions would be nice.

 

[Memphology]

whens the 7th coming out? Roll of the Thunder, Hear my Cry and Let the Circle Be Unbroken are awesome books...check those out. Cirlcle-UnBroken is the follow up to Roll of the Thunder.

 

[P0W3RBALLIN]

I'm excited for it but afraid that it may be a disappointment like the Everworld series. There just seems like there's so much to do for just 1 book.

The Portable Plato http://www.marywardbooks.com/books/The-Por.../0140150404.htmI enjoy philosophy.

 

[CB4allstar]

I don't read books alot either, but I read every day if you count magazines. I am currently reading this biography about Wilt Chamberlain. I like it alot, it's very interesting, and it has alot of interesting stories in it from other players and people who were around Wilt.

[YarnIdge]

Right now im reading the Robin Hobb Liveship Traders series but I kinda got bored so im not reading nothing right now, as in books.

 

[yankshater213]

books suck

 

[Strike3]

All I really read is magazines and the newspaper sometimes

 

[ReppinTheD]

Scar Tissue a biography by Anthony Kiedis (member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Cell - Stephen KingI don't read a lot, only if something catches my eye or I have to for school.

 

[gentile]

I'm reading <u>Hearts in Atlantis</u> by Stephen King too. I've read just about all his books, and I used to think he was just another popular horror writer, but after careful review, I can admit I was wrong. Dude is prolific and classic.I'm also rereading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I've read it twenty times and it hasn't gotten old. It's like a song I can listen to over and over. The difference between novels and literature is shelf life.

 

[7Goat]

Shake Hands With the Devil. It's about the Rwandan Genocide.And it's for school but I chose it myself.

Ever since I saw Hotel Rwanda I've been fascinated with the Rwandan massacres.

Resolution 1724 (2006) was an awful piece of work.

 

[The Captain]

Great book. Lots of action.

 

[coyn3burglar]

Nothing, probably won't read any book until the new Harry Potter book comes out WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[junot111]

I hate books, but for school im reading pendragon

 

[the_pestilence]

I'm as guilty as the next man of not reading much, but I'll say that books are a dying breed, but ebooks might save them

 

[pjcolpitts?]

I do enjoy reading books, but I usually go through stages of reading though. I'll read 7 or 8 books in one month and then wont read anything for the next two or three. Just depends I guess. The last book I read was a book by Chuck Palanuick, the writer of Fight Club. It was Choke. I've read almost all of his novels and they are all equally good, but Fight Club is head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. I do read Rolling Stone every two weeks as well. They really are ultra Liberal over there, but I dont read it for the politics, but rather the music articles that arent on crappy emo sh*t. I think I'm gonna start reading the graphic novel Watchmen in the near future. Its considered one of the best written novels and is by the guy who wrote V for Vendetta.

It's just reading is not a top priority for me I guess, but something I sometimes like to do.
