Well since this site is all about books and writing it's only appropriate for us to talk even more about it! So tell us what you're reading currently.

I'm reading Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips. Short summary - Greek gods living among us in modern times screwing with the lives of two mortals. Very funny and interesting book.

Damn that's a nice cover design :/

 

Well I shamefully must admit I do not read much (read: any) fiction. I'm happy if I manage to finish both Vanity Fair AND Wired by the end of the month XD and I'm still working my way through Igor Larionov's out-of-print autobiography. The translation of which still sucks and I'm beginning to feel like driving to California to tell him that hahaha

Well I've officially finished Gods Behaving Badly and have moved on to Living Dead In Dallas by Charlaine Harris which is book 2 of the Sookie Stackhouse series (aka True Blood series). Only a few pages in but it's a nice fun read and I love the tv show.

Also on the back burner is The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene. It's about string theory, blackholes, and all that amazing mind boggling stuff about the universe. It reads a little easier than a textbook but it's really hard to just sit down and read it so I had to stop for awhile. Hopefully I can get back into it soon.

So should I add the True Blood books to The Reading List ... is that what you're trying to tell me? :D

The new issue of Wired is here! And I haven't finished Vanity Fair yet :(  (article on Heath Ledger was long and boring ...ugh)

Hehe I think you can officially add The Sookie Stackhouse Series to the list! Smile

P.S. I'm digging the Reading List feature!

I'm currently reading Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey. Soooo good. ;D I can't wait to grab the next one! I set aside World War Z to start it. Someday I'll finish reading about zombies again. o.0 (it was making me nauseous to read about zombies on the plane this week! fail!)

Kushiel's Dart ... isn't that the series about the girl with the strange tattoo on her back or something?

If you check out your account page, I've finally ditched the Squidoo widget because they've finally managed to tick me off enough XD XD XD

So if you want to add books to the Reading List, post them here :D

About halfway done with Club Dead (book 3 of Sookie!). It appears I'm gonna blow through the entire series because they're that addicting! I also found out the author has signed a new contract to do three more books! Oh my, lots of reading for me but I'm happy about that.

Yay. Books!

I'm 4 hours on the train weekly, so I get some reading done:p

Currently rereading the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin, which is mindblowingly GREAT:p I'm at book 2, A Clash of Kings, and somehow knowing who is going to die makes rereading even more devastating than the first time.

It's also being HBO'd at the moment, with a cast including Sean Bean and Jennifer Ehle which makes me a happy camper...

I'm just plowing through these True Blood books. I'm almost done with the 4th one. I wish I had more time to read b/c I'd probably be almost done with the series right now, lol. I have a feeling I'm not going to read any other books until I just finish off the series.

I still don't really get how things work around here but I guess it's the place to write that currently - I am reading "The Intruders" by Michael Marshall.

I really like the author and pretty much all of his other books (L)
