Thread: What Are You Reading Right Now?

This is a thread to tell your fellow members what you are reading.

Be it a book, Magazine, Paper ect ect.

At the moment I'm reading a book called "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy (He's the author of No Country For Old Men) and it's about a post apocalyptic world and a father and son's survival.

It's been made into a film and I think that film comes out in October 2009

by - James Herbert

in 1945 Hitler unleashes the blood death on britain as his act of vengence...

as usual James gets you right into the thick of it and dumps you the reader into pure chaos and it doesnt stop till the book finishes

Unlikely I'll be posting anything else in this thread..

Does Ravescene count?

I was reading Andrew Gross's The Dark Tide, bit I've misplaced it at the moment

Also re-reading Nelson DemIlle's classic Nightfall... good if you like conspiracy theories

Also ust finishing off the last in the current series of Lee Childs Jack Reacher Books, Gone Tomorrow.

I have all of the Jack Reacher books, as well as over 100+ Stephen King books available as a text download, you know the drill, pm me

I've actually just read Jamie carragher's book does that count?

No, can you believe it

I always found reading very boring. My father and sister are massive bookworms and are never without a book. But when I was in college, I got a job at a petrol station working nights to earn some pocket money and I decided to get a couple of books because it was so boring sitting there all night reading the paper and listening to the radio. I found I loved it so much and I am now reading everything I can. Love it.

Good idea mate. What do you think Swipezster?

Nah, not reading Razzle really...

I'm a Sci-Fi buff, anything Spacey, or with Orks, Goblins, etc. Or anything factual, generally not Autobiographies, but, stuff like Black Hawk Down, Band of Brothers etc

Just finished Brinzingir the third in the Eragorn series (film also), and generally getting through a book every 2-3 days...!

Love reading, specially seen as how when the wife says I can't multi-task I can point to the reading/bog action and ask what's that then...!

:ymapplause:

In the last 2 weeks;

- Killing Pablo (the autobiograpgy on Mr Escobar)
- Football's Greatest Chants
- Brizinger
- The Harry Potter (6 & 7) (1-5 the week prior)...

Finished Brizinger this morning and now wondering what too pick up...

To all you avid readers there, what your book collections like then? I've a fairly large stack of stuff, but, only authors/books I really like and will read time and time again...

And honest, I do read that quick...

don't go there.
CR - with reference to our pm the other week, here's another scenario. Again, the bingo table halls. But all of us reading our books with an IAOOS bookmark. Don't make eye contact, DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT!!!
Then the posting starts:

"What chapter you on branners?"
"17 - where's selwyn?"
"At the bar"
if any of you guys are totally perplexed liked this (even though I know Mark is now laughing his head off), I'll gladly explain...

more seriously, I finished reading Bobby Robson's autobiography shortly before his death, making it even sadder for me

I have a fairly large collection on my shelves. Must be close to 1000 books (no i'm not going to count them for you ) I will have to take a picture. But they are all sorted out into Authors...god bless you OCD.

Classic.....you guys do crack me up, you never fail to put a smile on this face

i am a big fan of James Herbert and have about 10 of his books.
3 dan brown books.
a collection of Sharpe books by bernard cromwell that i am loking to sell, they are taking too much room up.
and Mark Brandon Chopper Reid books and other various books

a book i have trouble understanding that i have is the God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

Frick, just folded a flush, anyway,..

Prob got about 100 or so in the house currently, Raymond E Feist, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, Stephen King, David Eddings, James Herbert, Robert Ludlam, John Grisham, Stephen Ambrose (Band of Brothers, Tolkein, Harry Potters, Horus Heresy (Warhammer 40k, 9 books just there), loads of tiologies and stuff, anybody that reads like any of these as well......

And pretty much complete sets of all books...

Often just buy something cause the cover looks goos

I've maybe another 100 or so in the garage (don't have the space inside), Graphic Novels (Judge Dredd!!) and all sorts really...

Had to get rid of a load when we moved, they went off to charity shops, don't think they were too impressed by given how thumbed they were...

I'm actually now in the process of having to replace books that I've got cause backs are broken, pages are missing...

Actually, if anyones reading Harold Coyle, or, has any they want shot of let me know... he's out of print now but had a fairly decent set of books of his that I made the mistake of lending out to never see again...

One question, how many books does it take before you get "bored" with that author? For example, avidly read everything by Tom Clancy up and until The Teeth of the Tiger, thought that was rubbish and never looked at anything else he's done, same again for example with Grisham,all the way to the Broker and then thats it, rubbish, not read anything he's done since...

Seems after a while some of these writers lose the act of writing if you know what I mean...

Recently read Clavell's books in chronological order:

Shogun
Tai-Pan
Gai-Jin
King Rat
Noble House
Whirlwind

Debating at the moment whether to start Frank Herbert's Dune saga although his sons efforts do ruin the ending somewhat.

also enjoy some King stuff:

The Stand
It
Tommyknockers

I used to enjoy fantasy books and really liked Gemmel's Jon shannow books but can't really get into them now.

Need to find a new author, am wondering about the Flashman series or some of the books by the guy behind Master & Commander

I've finished The Road and i'm now onto Peter Kay's new book.

I've read his first and found it hilarious. I've been reading this new one for an hour now and it has made me laugh out loud loads of times. Very very funny.
