What book are you reading now?

I just finished two books by Kahlil Gibran: "The Prophet" and "The Beloved". Very deep, both books.

 

I'm reading the Exodus book now! it's amazing, i would even say that it's magic!

 

I love crime novels in general.I just finished reading a book with 2 crime novels(2 in 1) by James Patterson. I read both in German.The original titles of the 2 books are

"When the wind blows"

and

"Pop goes the weastle"

and I already got a new 1 to read by Ruth Rendell

"Wolf to the slaughter"

If anyone likes crime novels and needs advice on good ones ask me. I love them and have read plenty of them from authors all over the world.

 

I'm reading a book called The Bitch in the House edited by Cathi Hanauer. It's a collection of writings from twenty-six female authors who discuss love, marriage, having children, etc. but is from a very realistic standpoint.
The interesting title is based upon a quote from Virginia Woolf about "the angel in the house", which was referring to mothers. The book is put in order of the experiences of love and marriage by what the writer's age is (young to old).
I looked at the website and saw there is a book from the same publisher called The Bastard on the Couch, which are writings of twenty-seven men on similar topics.
Anyhow, I really like this book, and reading it is kind of therapeutic. Enjoy!

 

Um, loads of books.

"The Baby in the Mirror", a book about child neurology from 0-3.

"Torture Team", by a British lawyer, about how GWB's legal team managed to get around the Geneva Convention in their treatment of detainees at Guantanamo.

"Jeeves and Wooster" for a light read when I go to bed.

 

The Night Gardener - George Pelecanos

 

The Story of the Confederacy by Robert S. Henry

Slouching toward Gomorahh by Robert Bork

From Beirut to Jerusalem by Thomas Friedman

 

An interracial romance novel called Meant To Be. Well actually, I'm finished with it. i won't be reading anything else until The Temptations by Otis Williams comes in.

Meant To Be is refreshing. Finally found a bm/ww romance novel that wasn't a bashathon and chocked full of weak stereotypes.

 

Today I bought "The Spiritual Rules of Engagement" by Yehuda Berg. A book on relationships with a spiritual twist... nice.

 

The Forsaken:An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia. I read the parts on the Black Americans in Russia. It mentioned Paul Robeson,his son Paul Jr. and others.

 

I'm currently reading Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W Bush by Robert Draper. It's funny, i'm already reviewing the guy's tenure and he isn't even gone yet. :lol:

Well, i'm pretty sure i'm not alone.

 

Out of Gas - David Goodstein


A short but highly informative primer on the "peak oil" phenomenon, something most media channels are not discussing with regard to why we're paying $4 a gallon for gas.

The world is running out of oil folks.

 

"The Rising - Antichrist Is Born".

This is the 13th book in the "Left Behind" series, which are fiction novels based on the christian bible's Book of Relevation, while also being the 1st book in the "Before They Were Left Behind" book series.

 

i am currently reading the "Journeys Out of the Body" by Robert Monroe.

This is the first in a series of three books by Monroe. This book was more a diary of Monroes early OBE exit experiences. He has not yet developed any theories or deeper insights into the Big Picture. But this actually makes this book refreshing. It has no bias. Just pure experience

 

True Story by Bill Maher, an anecdotal fiction novel based loosely (or more than that, it's really hard to say) on the comedians personal experience as a comedian in New York in the early 80s.

Some of the humour just doesn't hit me because, while it's well written, I think most of the jokes would go over better if spoken aloud. It's like the difference between watching a comedy show and reading a transcript...the real thing is just more funny. It's a very interesting story, though, if you're into those biography-esque novels. It's not all from just one comedian's viewpoint, either, so that's kinda neat.

I also bounce between a book on Celtic mythology (The Celtic Book of Living and Dying...gotta love those Irish roots), Night Watch by Sarah Waters (if you like old old sk00l lesbian drama!), and a book containing the speeches of Perecles. Quite the orator, he was.

My nerdiness shows so much when I talk about books.

To prove it: I'm still waiting to read the last Harry Potter book I never got to buy it.

 

Letters to a Young Sister, by Hill Harper--

http://www.publicenemy.com/pb/viewtopic.php?t=45445

 

All Quiet On The Western Front - The original Anti-War entertainment novel.

 

A thousand spendid suns. My country has never known war and coz of that I simpathize with those who have. Its a deep sad story of Afriganistine. (did I spell that right?)

 

Graphic Novel time-- comix heads out there?
Shanna the She-Devil http://www.amazon.com/Shanna-She-Devil-Premiere-Frank-Cho/dp/0785119728
Frank Cho (Liberty Meadows) writes and draws a great, sexy new interpretation of Marvel's jungle-lady heroine. The story follows a US military expedition which somehow crash-lands on a remote island which apparently was host to long-dead Nazi super-science experiments-- and apparently one of them was the Amazonian woman 'Shanna'-- the only surviving result of test-tube experiments to develop a 'super woman'. The soldiers find out soon that ancient creatures survive on the island, and run amok-- The men-- and Shanna-- must find some way to survive. Allegedly, there is a 'rated R' version eventually planned for this graphic novel.

Shanna: Survival of the Fittest
http://www.amazon.com/Shanna-She-De...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215023728&sr=1-1
Synopsis: Shanna the She-Devil returns in a new story. Written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and drawn by Khari Evans, the new tale follows modern pirates shipwrecked on the Marvel Universe’s deadliest island, where only Shanna can protect them from hordes of man-eating monsters!
This second graphic novel, in particular, gives Shanna a black fellow as a love interest... sweet..
