What book are you reading?

Tipping Point

 

[punkypossum]

Do! It is equally as good as the first book and set in the same town. The historical detail is superb.

Just reserved it at the library... Do I need to re-read pillars of the earth first or will it make sense without it? Think it's over 10 years since I read it...

 

[Landslide]

"Thief of Time", Terry Pratchett.

I really should read books more often...

Just starting a tardy reading of Alasdair Gray's Lanark, thanks to the local Oxfam.

I was in Lanark last week!

I'm reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" for the first time since I left school. I really don't remember much about it at all!

No, you don't need to, it will stand alone as a book on its own but there are references to characters from the first book.

I'm reading 'The Handmaids Tale' by Margaret Atwod and boy is it depressing (but very well written)

 

[SamNichols]

I take issue with the question in the title. It should be: 'which book are you reading?'. I'm reading four:
1) Beat Generation: Jack Kerouac
2) The Alchemist: Paulo Coelho (which isn't very good)
3) Harry Potter and the half blood Prince
4) Perfume: Patrick Suskind

I also have a Ewan MacColl biography waiting for me when I get back to Manchester.

Christ that's a blast from the past.

21 CFR Part 820 Quality System Regulation.

Much rather carry on reading Lords & Ladies by Terry Pratchett though. Far more entertaining.

I used to have to run training courses on Part 11. Like getting wallpaper paste drip-fed into your veins. Nae luck.

BTW I'm still reading The Death of Marco Pantani. That's about 4 months and counting now. He's still alive at this point. Just no time these days for reading.

 

[Tetedelacourse]

ps the wife did see the title of the book and ask "Does Marco Pantani die in that book?".

 

[dan_bo]

The death of Marco Pantani- slowly. Is it me or the book?


Just finished Moscow 1944......very interesting.

 

[red_tom]

The Gum Thief - Douglas Coupland

Me too. Not up to Microserfs/Shampoo Planet/jPod standard but still good.

 

[derall]

Just finished Charles Stross 'Halting State'
Just started Iain M Banks 'Matter' (and hoping it's going to be better than The Steaming Pile of Garbage that was The Steep Approach to Garbadale...)

Dipping into A C Grayling's 'Against All Gods' and John Allen Paulos' 'Irreligion'
