What books are you reading right now?
| Ooh books thread!
I'm reading Small Gods by Terry Prachett. It's been a while since I read Discworld, so it's taking a bit for me to get used again to the writing style.
Recently finished The Shape of the Ruins by Juan Gabriel Vasquez, which means I now know more about Colombian history than I thought I would ever do.
| "Understanding the Universe:From the Cosmos To Quarks",bloody great book that one(My favourite book ever, actually)."The Gods Themselves" by Isaac Asimov is also good.
| Currently reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville!
But I feel like I've gotten a reading burnout, so I'm going to take a break for a little while. It sure is a looooong story and the thickest book I own and have read.
| I've been reading a lot of books, too many at once really, but three main ones: Against Purity by Alexis Shotwell, which is at the edge of being too academic imo but has some pretty interesting ideas on being today; No Wind of Blame by Georgette Heyer, which is a mystery that's been fun to read and delightfully period; and The Mind Illuminated by Culadasa, a buddhist book on meditation that's both rooted in the traditions and accessible, and I've been incorporating some ideas from
| The Little Book of Talent by Daniel Coyle. It's a collection of short tips of how to get better at skills. Other than that, just my textbooks - _-
| Erich Fromm "Marx's concept of man"
| Kabukimonogatari, and if manga counts, Berserk volume 5.

Hah, I'm planning on reading "Moby Dick" too once I'm finished with "Less than zero"! I've heard a lot of great stuff about the book, so I'm pretty excited to finally get to it
| Richard Sennett's The Craftsman.
| More of a comic series but Batman : Three Jokers

| If you're not reading anything at the moment, maybe you've got something you want to read in the nearest future? Feel free to share here!
I'm currently reading 'Less than zero' by Bret Easton Ellis. I really like his 'American Psycho' so this one seemed promising to me, but speaking frankly, I don't quite enjoy it all that much.. maybe it gets better after a while, I'll have to see about that
Anyway, what about you g/u/rls?
