I'm sure I'm not the only one curious in what people are reading. Right now I'm reading Jurrasic Park and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Jurassic Park is awesome. One of my favorites of all time. Michael Crichton is a lot of fun to read, although some of his books aren't that great.

[Heccubus]

Most of his books aren't that great.

I recently finished up "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner for the...oh I don't know, seventh time? Eighth time? Either way, I've read it many times. It's just that good, people.

[Just your average movie goer]

I like Catch-22. It may be the best novel ever written.

Rvbicon by Tom Holland (i think that was his name)

Right now I'm reading countless pages on www.firstworldwar.com awesome site. It helped refresh all the WW1 info I once had in highschool.

Right now, I'm re-reading "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". Although when I re-read things, it usually results in me reading the book backwards...

I went on a major book-reading tear this summer, but have slowed as of late because I packed all my books up to move, and returned all the ones I had borrowed to the library. But I re-read Microserfs by Douglas Coupland, and it was just as fricking awesome the second time.

Also, the New York Times ran book supplements this summer where they'd reprint a few chapters per day of a book and by Sunday, you'd have finished it. Of course, I never managed to get every day's chapters, but the first 5/7th of Like Water for Chocolate was also a gold-star read.

[Laura]

I found Microserfs to be a little more depressing than I remembered it when I re-read it this summer. However, all the cool computer and science geek stuff was just as awesome. I read some of his other books, and lacking the fun nerd details, they weren't as good. Generation X was really depressing.

[WalrusOfPlastic]

Was just in the middle of "Art" by Rodin (err, actually some other guy writing down what Rodin was saying) and also just finished Whistler's "Ten o'clock".
Both dusty old books I found on the shelves of the library of the museum I was janitoring.

I just finished Douglas Adams' "Salmon of Doubt," which caught my eye in the A Section of the library. It's mainly a collection of autobiographical anecdotes and opinion pieces that were found on his various computers shortly after he died. I thought it was a good read, I actually found it a lot easier to get through than "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," the only book in the Hitchhiker's series I've read. I found myself laughing out loud often.

So, I guess I should probably go back and read the others since I seem to be going backwards. I honestly don't know too much about the sci-fi genre.

I prefer realistic novels and biographies. I'm a big David Sedaris fan. I still haven't read his latest "Dress Your Family in Corduroy" though. I recommend Sedaris' "Naked" or "Me Talk Pretty One Day" if you're into memoirs about wacky families.

I just finished Dune and now I'm reading Gardens of the Moon by Steve Erickson.

I'm a big speculative fiction freak.

[Gleffnork]

Not technically a book, but the peom "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is fantastic, and talk about a wonderful allegory!!!

[Stongbah]

I gave up on the boring crap I was reading before and bought a copy of Zahn's Heir To the Empire and it kicks ass.

[civilian_number_two]

I'm way to old to be doing this for the first time, but I am reading THE THREE MUSKETEERS (in translation, Jacques le Clercq), and it is quite a good read. It suffers not one bit from being so familiar; if anything, I despair while reading that it has never been done so well on screen.

[Vwing]

Currently, I'm reading The Past Through Tomorrow, a collection of Robert Heinlein's future history short stories. After that, I'm going to read his Time Enough for Love, a novel that is a continuation of his short story Methusalah's Children. Then I'll probably read the new (well it's not new anymore, it's been sitting on a desk in my house for like 6 months) Timothy Zahn Star Wars novel, forgot what it's called. Speaking of Zahn, if anyone wants a really enjoyable science fiction read, pick up his book, The Icarus Hunt, it's really a good, solid science fiction book. I actually have a lot of books I've been meaning to read (by the way, is the Hobbit any good? I have it but haven't read it), so I'm set for a while.
