Umm...Basically just the question in the subject line...

Also, do you have any favorite authors/genres/books? I personally like Terry Pratchett and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles at the moment. I also very much enjoyed David (and Leigh) Eddings' Belgariad and Malloreon (as I'm sure Sir Mandorallen will agree).

What about you?

Actually, I'm enjoying Randall Collins's "Three Sociological Traditions" these days, and I just finished Chris Matthew's "Amercian" recently. I'll tell you about those, but only on another forum. ;)

well currently i'm reading, or at least attempting to in between homework the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. Its basicly the age of sail again in space with an intersteller war. Its good if your into the science fiction.

Um recently read R.A. Salvator's Dark Elf Trilogy.Now reading Streams of Silver.Already finished The Crystal Shard. Fantasy and adventure are my favorites and R.A. Slavator's my favorite writer

I, not too long ago, read a very god set by a Jasper Fforde.
The first two are out, the third should be out sometime this year, they are called (respectively) "The Eyre Affair," and "Lost in a Good Book."
Very humorous, rather odd and eccentric style, and definitely worth the read. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rhapsody: Child of Blood
Prophecy: Child of Earth
Destiny: Child of the sky

that series is one of the BEST ever written.

I'm reading 'The Republic' by Plato again. I just like it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Though more on topic, currently reading some Pratchett novels. Still have to go to the library one of these days, though. One could only take a certain dose of Pratchett in a small period of time. ;)

Just started reading "Conversation with the Mann" by John Ridley.

Here's a review: http://reviews.aalbc.com/conversation_with_the_mann.htm

So far..very good! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just finished reading The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum. And am currently reading some fluff before I start another real book, which will probably be Sarum, which my dad gave me for Christmas.

And um *cough*. Alex? Sweetie? New sig? :eek: ;)

Just finished Return of the King! [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color="cyan">I always find it sad when I come to the end of a brilliant book, unlike a record it just aint the same on the second read. LOTR however i've read and read and read (just finished yesterday) and there is always something new in it. A little nuance that you pick up on, or important detail that was missed. I guess that is why it's the best book written. (IMHO)</font>

This really belongs in the Books etc. Forum, so I'll move it there.

Sure, its coherent as a doctrine - but is it proveable? The Republic falls into that interesting category of texts I think all fit together nicely (if all of Plato's assertions are true then the Republic would surely work), but its making sure his assertions are true thats the tricky bit! The impossible bit, some people might say...

As for me, I've just finished "Against a Dark Background" by Banks. Its horribly bleak, but incredibly gripping. I don't think I've ever read a book that quickly, or at least not one of that size. Currently I'm reading "The Sirens of Titan" by Vonnegut, which is a little bit of a dissapointment really - I've only ever read "Slaughterhouse Five" by him, and compared to that Sirens is decidedly mediocre. But thats just my opinion...

On the road

Good stuff if you like Space Opera! I'm currently reading War of Honor, the new hardcover (with the CD! :D )

It's shaping up to be a good read...

im reading two different books atm... one is the once and future king, by t.h. white, which i already read in dutch but im now reading it in english.. other is "de puinhopen van 8 jaar paars" which might sound familiar to the dutch viewers here [img]tongue.gif[/img] (don't worry im just reading it to know more things to say AGAINST P.F. ... he's stupid... he contradicts hisself often...)
