[Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

[seagully]

I'm reading Auschwitz by Laurence Rees, for the second time. Absolutely great book, never becomes too harrowing to read, despite the obvious nature of the events it refers to.

 

[Skaville]

That is a cracking book. I sometimes wish that it would be turned into a film, but don't think any director could portray the true story.

Could work. Did you see Enduring Love? A very good adaptation.

Not yet. I am holding out until I read it, but haven't got round to it yet. Stuck in a travel writing phase for the time being. I shall definitely get on the case though!

Reading some of the Inspector Morse books.For once,I think the telly does it better.

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and Rant by Chuck Palahniuk

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Quantum Theory by John Polkinghorne.







It's shite.

 

[Jam The Man]

Watership Down - Richard Adams

 

[Skaville]

Rant by Chuck Palahniuk

What's it like? Haunted was far too sick for my liking - the straw that broke the camel's back for myself and Chuck, but I would always give him another go if I thought there was something more readable out there.

PS Non Fiction by CP is a good read.

 

[Ding Dong !]

Vulcan 607

Superb book about the bomb raid on the Falklands at the stat of the conflict.

 

[sussexfatboy]

The Golf Omnibus - P G Wodehouse

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Just started The Autograph Man by Zadie Smith

 

[Spunk Bubble]

'The Hungry Caterpillar' with my 3 year old daughter. Fantastic !!

 

[Gwylan]

The Golf Omnibus - P G Wodehouse

Aah...a fellow Wodehouse fan. I just have to read Wodehouse every now and then, just to keep me sane. If I had to name just one author as my favourite, it would be Wodehouse.

But at the moment I'm reading the diaries of Duff Cooper. I'm a sucker for politicians' diaries and he was at the heart of so many momentous events of the 20th century - not as racy as Alan Clark's though.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and Rant by Chuck Palahniuk

I'm half-way through The Ancestors Tale also by Mr Dawkins. Superb insight into evolution, written very well (although a little detailed in places).

 

[Lush]

Just finished Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion and now reading Black Swan Green - David Mitchell which is highly recommended to any boys who grew up in the eighties and an easier read than Cloud Atlas.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Penguins stop play

absolutely fantastic book.


I am 3/4 way through Going Postal by Terry Pratchett.

just waiting for the final Harry Potter now

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

The Time Travellers Wife

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

The secret of Crickley Hall - James Herbert

 

[Man of Harveys]

Semi-Detached, by Griff Rhys Jones. It's really very boring and not at all funny - slightly sentimental but just entirely unremarkable - civil servants have been probably written funnier autobiogs. It makes you realise that most of the witty stuff that's come out of his mouth on telly over the last 30 years has been written and put there by other, genuinely witty people.
