Okay folks, let's get this party started.
What book(s) are you reading right now, and what do you think of it?
Suddenly shifted my focus from rich historic cultural experience to intricate magic related fantasy. Peril's Gate, by Janny Wurts.
I'm reading the dream cycle of H. P. Lovecraft right now. I was expecting stories of horror and death, but was pleasantly suprised at how beautifully detailed and extensive Lovecraft's dream world is.
I finished reading Le Rouge et le Noir (Translated into English), by Stendhal. Somewhat humorous, all in all.
I'm going through Discworld again.
Most recently Night Watch, possibly the best book in the series.
Bilingualism and the Latin Language by J.N. Adams. It's a text on the various intersections of language in the Roman world.
A New Introduction to Greek by Chase & Phillips. Your basic ancient Greek primer.
Selected Poems of Jorge Luis Borges, edited by Alexander Coleman, translators various. Of what I've read, the poem Amorosa anticipación has really touched me.
NIV Bible. lol
I'm really not reading as much as I should, it's just spread out over different things.
Persepolis
Starship Troopers.
In reading Heinleins other books I always feel he places to much of himself in them, or even creates a character for himself to speak through. But this book just feels like Heinlein's personal military masturbation fantasy. I kept hoping it would get better but I think I'll stop now and find something else to read.
Currently reading Sabriel. Not sure what to make of it yet considering I just started (chapter 3).
Sputnik Sweetheart, my first Murakami

I liked that book. I, in fact, have ruined my eyes by reading the whole book via LCD in 2 days. I actually was interested in their whole philosophy of government.
