Forgive me if this has been done before (it most likely has) BUT,

What are you reading?

To start this off, I am reading Money by Martin Amis; which is actually rather good, but it's more of a collection of clever prose than an arching narrative.

I intend to read Dostoevsky's The Idiot after seeing The Machinist for the first time next.

I'm reading this thread! :D

But no current book right now. Just magazines and website. But for magazines it would be PC Gamer.

Books : Currently anything by Lee Child (mindless reading) - haven't really had time for anything else recently

D-D-Double-post! :O


Books - Text books. Lots and Lots of textbooks :crying:
 
I love reading and studying social dynamics as well as body language.

Recent books I've read or reading are: Revelations, The Definitive Book of Body Language, The Game, and The Long Hard Road Out of Hell.

The Game is a phenomenal book for anyone who's looking for a different sort of read. It's about a writer named Neil Strauss and how he infiltrated the underground world of pickup artists - completely non-fiction.
 
The Color of Water (reading list) & TLOTR: The Hobbit (Also for a reading list)

Dragon, how is that? I've been reading Dresden Files non-stop and love Butchers writing style. Didn't know how well it would play into a full on fantasy book.

i LOVED the Dresden files....they are like crack!

The codex novels are...ok. Not as good as Dresden, but readable.
 
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
 
God Created the Integers by Stephen Hawking

And on a constant basis I refer back to Hagakure for calming quotes to soothe my savage work day.
