h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

'A Widow for One Year' by John Irving

An interesting style.

'A Prayer for Owen Meany' is waiting.

I just finished "Patriot Games" by Tom Clancy. I'st odd how you should get bored, but you don't.

I am half way through the latest Lindsay Davies - it is not up to scratch.

I have Elmore Leonard's book set in Cuba in the wings.

The Lightstone

By David Zindell

I have just read and thoroughly enjoyed "The Salmon of Doubt" by Douglas Adams.

Now I am reading Just six numbers (The deep forces that shape the universe) by Martin Rees. It's very interesting.

Now reading Felaheen: the Third Arabesk by Jon COurtenay Grimwood...it's good

Yeah, that Martin Rees book was interesting, I do have a soft spot for those "3rd culture" science books (or whatever they're called) Apart from the obvious Stephen Hawking ones, I think my favourite is The End Of Time by ..erm.. Julian Barbour (?), & Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World is a must-read for anyone with an interest in science (& those without!)

But anywaaay: my current reads are Choke by Chuck Palahniuk, Don DeLillo's White Noise & Carol by Patricia Highsmith.

Currently rereading the World according to Garp by John Irving
Next will be White Teeth by Zadie Smith,
A different music by Vikram Seth,
punctuated by HP5, when I can get my hands on it!

Bedtime stories to 8 year old twins, just read the first 7 volumes of A series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket, trying to find The Hostile Hospital, and currently HP3

I'm reading The Goblet of Fire in preparation for book 5, refreshing my memory as I haven't read it since it was released (it's the only Potter book I've only read once - til now). I'm still in the middle of The Bourne Identity ... and I'm reading The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents to my 8 year old.

The Pirate Queen

Now re-reading A McC's Catteni series prior to reading Freedom's Challenge

I've just finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which was brilliant, so I'm going to re-read it, and then decide between Michael Frayn's Spies, Alan Furst's Red Gold and China Meiville's The Scar

I enjoyed 'Spies'
If you can read so quickly then you could read them all in a weekend

I have a week and a half - but it's not every book that gets me to sit down for 5-6 hours straight...

Deadeye Dick--Kurt Vonnegut

Excellent, as always.

Countered by:

Six Not-So-Easy Pieces--Richard Feynman

This book, along with Six Easy Pieces, should be required reading for everyone, in my rarely humble opinion.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn- The Gulag Archipelago

Tami Hoag- Dark Horse

i cant remember his name and am too lazy to look- Sarum

Sarum is by Edward Rutherfurd. The name and author are emblazoned on my memory because I spilt coffee all over a brand new copy of it while on holiday last year! It's still readable though.

Blood Sport by Dick Francis

I knew it was Edward something. I haven't finished it, but it seems to be quite good so far.

The Unpleasentness at the Bellona Club by Dorothy L Sayers(re-read in case I missed anything)
Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
Waiting to read the school library copy of harry potter 5 (when it's delivered.)
