I'm constantly finding that I have more reading material than can fit on my shelves :eek:

What do you like to read?

I read alot of Douglas Coupland. Want to read a few more of his recent books.

I read mostly magazines: Marie Claire, Muscle and Fitness Hers, and Official Xbox Magazine. Sometimes I'll read BC Business, too.

I also like reading up on anti-globalisation issues or whatever novels catch my eye. Lately, I've been trying to read the Lord of the Rings books.

So, about the subject... You wanna what? ;)

I read magazines occasionally, but most of my reading these days is done on the web. I haven't touched a novel or anything remotely close in a couple of years.

The last book I read was "The Bathroom Readers Digest" Whenever I'm doing my thing, I pick that thing up and man there is some really cool stuff in there.

I'm about to start reading Art of War.

I like John Grisham,,, something about Law books that attract my attention!

Currently working through the Sword of Truth series (Terry Goodkind). Great author.

Almost picked up All Families are Psychotic by Douglas Coupland.. $35 CDN tho.. I think I can wait a little while longer on that.

Hey, those bathroom readers are cool! I have a few of them.

I can only read for so long on the web.

What novels are a good read? The last one I read that I really enjoyed was Memoirs of Geisha. The Harry Potter books were nice stories, too.

Memories of a Geisha

The author has never talked to Geisha's, and really didn't do his research so I decided against getting that book.

As for other reading material I usually pick up an Archie comic book paperback every couple of weeks! :P

Well, I finished off all of Harry Potter. Now I'm waiting for the next book. I read them on a Palm, but sometimes I do yearn for the feel of a book, but it is just so convenient to have it everywhere you go.

Splitfyre: Chapter 13 is required reading -- and here especially for Rosie -- for all global activists. :D

We should be greening the bureaucracy. :p

Let's start with a good book on Vipassana meditation. Maybe the teachers will be inspired to reform detention. :monkey:

But I live in Surrey where Councilwoman Stillwell and her cohort McCallum made a big stink over two wonderful books, MY TWO DADS and a book on blended families. These are both required reading for all God-loving Christians. :devil:

Last excellent book i read was Cryptonomicon by neal stephenson...all u math junkies will dig it, but even if yer like me and math makes u gag, it's a damn good book. About code breakers in ww2 and network builders in the present day... it's a cool read.

the last books i picked up and read were the Johnny the Homicidal Maniac comics by Jhonen Vasquez. they're a good read, epsecially if you're into the blood and guts type of thing. very violent, graphic (in both the blood and language aspects), and very, VERY dark. i'd like to read Jhonen's other comics, but i think i can survive without 'em for awhile. i tried reading the HP books, but i dunno.....the first book got boring after awhile. other than that, the only reading i've been doing is on message boards and in AIM chats.

i read science fiction..

i've read all of Robert Sawyer's books except one, and find myself buying them as they come out at his book launches (and getting them signed). his last book was Hominids, about a neanderthal that quantum jumps into our world.. it's the first of a trilogy, so i'm now awaiting the next one, due out in February..

i think i should try another sci-fi author..

i used to read sci-fi.....then i just quit reading....not that i was big into reading in the first place, but yeah.

Here's what i am currently reading:

Talking Back to Prozac by Peter R Breggin and Ginger R Breggin

Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment (off and on for the past 5 years)

Robert Thomson's The Grosset Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine (reference)

I also picked up THRASHER: Skid Row Eskimo by Anthony Apakark Thrasher, one of the first Inuit to be sent into the big city only to be facing a murder charge due to culture clash.

I've actually been reading alot of books lately. Well, at least for me. I've been reading alot of the Tom Clancy books, and a couple of the Grisham novels as well, (just about to start The Bretheren). Also some book called Special Circumstances, some kind of a lawyer / trial book, can't remember who it was done by.

Banana Boys (http://www.bananaboys.com)

I finally finished the book, and met the author... so I totally recommend this! ;)

Thanks for the introduction!

I found a dog-eared classic by GEORGE ELIOT, the woman who pretended to be a man so she could introduce pre-Victorian upper-crust England and the literati of Europe to ADAM BEDE.

This edition even has onion-skin to protect the illustration opposite the title page.

It was published by Ward, Lock and Co, Ltd. of Warwick House, Salisbury Sq., E.C. and simultaneously printed in NYC and Melbourne.

This book was 1 shilling 6 pence back before the decimal coinage.

A real collector's book, though probably worth a fraction more than the loonie I paid for it.
