What are you currently reading?

Re-reading (sort of, I only got halfway through last time >_>) Slam by Nick Hornby. I started reading it last October because a friend bought me it, and I really enjoyed it, I love Nick Hornby's books. It was the same kind of style as his others despite being aimed at teenagers, but the only thing that really made it different was that it was about a teenager this time. I can't remember why I stopped reading it before, but I've started from the beginning again because I forgot where I was. >_>

Coming to think of it, there are loads of other books I'm halfway through on too. >< The Color Purple, The Lovely Bones, Animal Farm... and so many more that I've bought and read one page of. D:
 
I'm currently re-reading Eragon, the first book in the Inheritance "Cycle". I read it about two years ago and absolutely loved it. It has a great, engaging storyline filled with action, adventure, romance, and sadness. The third book Brisingr is coming out in September, so I want to make sure I catch up to what's going on again since it's been quite awhile since I read it.
 
The Homecoming by Harold Pinter.
It's a nasty play, I hate it really. It's good but the characters and the themes are repulsive. It's weird and Freud would love to Analyse it.
 
I'm currently reading Harry Potter and the deathly hollows
It's quite addictive even though i just started reading it. But it's kinda sad since it's the last book. I want more!!!
 
I'm reading this thread...!
Nah, I'm reading my Physics textbook. Just for the sake of reading it.
 
The Amber Spyglass...

To be honest I could have started and finished this novel a long time ago but things got in the way so I couldn't. I can't really comment on the novel whatsoever at the moment, mainly because I'm only a first few pages into it...but if it is anything like the first two books then it should be an amazing read. =]
 
I finished The Amber Spyglass a couple of weeks ago and liked it and it was the best book in the series although I was a bit gutted at the ending.

Now reading Ian Irvine's Dark is the Moon again. Always been a fan of his first two series and it's still enjoyable to read since it does have a few nice twists to the genre. Probably gonna reread Ender's Game when I'm done with that.
 
Just Read: Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle and Austin Grossman's Soon I will be Invincible. I recommend them both--they were both very amusing. But both sort of disappointed me by the end. I wanted them both to be longer. Oh well.

Reading Now: Octavia Butler's Lilith's Brood
 
Im currently reading Dracula. I particularlly like how it is presnted from sevral different perspectives.
 
Just finished reading The Tempest for the first time. Great play - and I love how there's such a mixture of narrative elements that cohere in a fashion that only Shakespeare could pull off. I think this one'll end up being a favorite.

I'm starting on "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven" which is a collection of short stories by Sherman Alexie, titled after one of his best short stories. I feel like many of the selections are hit-or-miss - or maybe Alexie just isn't my cup of tea.

And I'm also trying to finally read through Pride and Prejudice. It's not that I find it difficult or bad - in fact I really enjoy what I've read of it. But I always end up getting busy or distracted, so I've probably reread the first five chapters about six times now.
 
I was reading Lolita a while ago, but I decided to switch to Fight Club after I bought the book yesterday at a bookstore downtown.

I'm REALLY enjoying this book. There's just....something about Chuck Palahniuk's work.
 
Warcraft and Warcraft War of the Ancients Archives = 7 books/1331 pages of kick ass storytelling.
 
Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" - the third Book ("The Dragon Reborn") ^^
Quite good, but I liked the second book more, so I have few motivation to read on. But if you like fantasy books, you should give it a try! ^^

Today I got Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's "Heat and Dust". Please don't wonder, I wouldn't read it if it wasn't for an essay about it. ^^" But I'm very interested, for it is about India. ^^
 
Anna Karenina by Tolstoy.

It's an absolutely fabulous book. It's superbly written. The world and the characters seen so real and believable, you feel as if you are there. The translation is very good, and not too many patronymics so far. But I haven't read all that much of it, so as long as there aren't too many more characters I should be fine with them.
 
I bought 'Adrian Mole: From Minor to Major' a couple of weeks ago. Its all the first three books in one.

Right now I'm upto the second book; The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole. It's well funny.
 
Currently reading Watership Down. Great book, very realistic, apart from the fact that they're all rabbits :elmo:

It's fantastically written, very detailed, and goes into great depth of some of the language the rabbits use. If you ever come across it in a bookshop, I recommend it.
 
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.

Though in a few days it will be Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, due to the fact it takes so god damn long to import the books from america!!
 
I haven't read anything for ages, Im dissapointed in myself -__-

Anyway, Im currently reading a book called 'Don't tell mummy' It's realy quite disturbing. Its a true story of a girl that was abused by her dad and her mum just turned a blind eye to it and let it happen. I'm about halfway through and I'm dreading it getting worse a it seems to have been doing
