What book are you reading RIGHT NOW?

Not "What's your favorite book?" Not "What books have you read?" Not "What books have you always heard good things about but somehow missed out on the first time and you swear you'll read them one of these days cause you just need to catch up on the classics, you just can never seem to find the time?"

What book are you reading right now?

I'm reading Black Boy by Richard Wright. It's a moving autobiography which illustrates the plight of the black man growing up in the Jim Crow south of the 1920's America.

 

Well RIGHT now I am readying nothing. But soon once the 3rd book of the War of the Souls series for DragonLance comes out I will get that a read it. And that should come out soon. Well I am a big dragonlance chronicals fan. Only have read the chronicals and war of the souls.

 

the Fallout manual

the Fallout 2 manual

Delores Claiborne, by Stephen King

Lies my Teacher Told Me, by a whole bunch of people, about 13 specific things that u.s. history text books got wrong/lied about. my favorite chapter: Helen Keller was a Communist.

Red Dragon, by Thomas Harris

Official Strategy Guide for American McGee's Alice

The World on Blood, by Jonathon Nasaw. it's a new twist on the vampire theme. very cool.

Gentle Rogue, by Johanna Lindsey. yes, it's a romance. i'm a chick. deal with it.

Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon

Swan Song, by what's-his-name, the guy who wrote it...

Queen of the Damned, by Anne Rice

Taltos, by Anne Rice

i have a short attention span. i read alot of books at the same time. sorry.

 

That's a pretty good book thar, missy. It was sooooo much better than that abortion known as "Hannibal".

 

Well if you include all of the manuals and stuff then you could include some game manuals that I am reading. Well gamecube games that is. And then now and then I read Dungeons and Dragons 3rd editions books. I have the player manual, dm's guide, and the monsters manual.

 

"A Fire Upon the Deep" by Vernor Vinge.
Someone was quoting it in here a little while back... I missed out on my big chance to show off :sad:

 

unfortunately, i read hannibal first...

 

Anyone know when Red Dragon is going to come to movie?

 

Wow, this thread made it to post #8 before Quethim tried to throw it off track.
I'm impressed. I think it's a record...

 

Well looks as if you just threw it off track..now I always reply to stuff and usually when I throw it off track it is because I am replying to it and then people reply to what I say and it gets way off track. So its not ALWAYS my fault.

 

There are no words strong enough to express how much I hated the ending to Hannibal. That is saying something because, like Quethim, MY WORDS R STRONGER THAN MY FISTS. He completely ruined not only that story, but also Silence of the Lambs in just a few short pages.

I thought Queen of the Damned was good, also, even though I never finished it. I was almost towards the end when I lost the book. When I went to the bookstore to buy another copy, I realized that I was getting a little sick of Anne Rice's style. After Interview with a Vampire and Vampire Lestat, I needed a break. Later on, a friend let me borrow his copy of Tale of the Body Thief, and I was disappointed.

 

oh! i remembered another one. it's called Blood Meridian, it's tre weird, i don't remember who wrote it, and i'm too lazy to go in the other room and look.

 

I am glad you remember my moto Milo...but I do not use that anymore. It is now...fear me you fool for death be the answer!

 

It's currently in production.

Touch my linky for more details.

 

good touch or bad touch?

 

good touch or bad touch? whats that supposed to mean and whats it replying to?

 

and that's just more proof that you can't read.

 

Or that he's a toddler.

 

Now that this thread's not even about the original topic...

I'm reading "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"...well, actually, the fourth of the trilogy, and yes I know that doesn't work out, it's true, I started it due to Fallout 2 (random encounter, you've all seen it, even the one's who haven't.) and it's actually really good...

 

Those were great books. All four of them were great. "Hitchhiker's Guide" even got me into computer games. I saw the old Infocom text adventure one day and I gave it a try. To this day, it's one of my favorite video games.
