For all you literates out there...

I was wondering what you were reading at the moment.

@ Insomnia Princess
If you haven't read Episode by Eric Hodgins, you really should. It's an autobiographical account of an editor who suffered and dealt with a stroke--one of his side effects being aphasia. It is a well written book. When you try to figure out why it's so well written, you've already finished the next chapter. It is a very fast read and even the appendices are amazing.

I started Hitchhiker's Guide (the Trilogy in Five Parts), again, and am going through a few anthropology books about how museums present pretty putrid versions of history.

What about the rest of ya'll?

Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth Series
Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game
Cormac McCarthy - The Road

Just finished the Gotrek and Felix stories from Warhammer, along with the 5 Malus Darkblade books. Very fun reading.

The Malus Darkblade series are phenomenal. Dan Abnett needs to abandon 40K and just write fantasy.

I need to finish I Am America and So Can You so I can finally move onto Malekith: A Tale of the Sundering.

I have to say, I love The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. I don't agree with 100% of Rand's philosophy, but I do think some of her concepts are right on. Let's leave that for another thread though. . .

I didn't really care for the way that they ended. I'd say more but I don't want to ruin it for the people that may be reading it, or want to read it in the future.

Code to Zero I think, by Ken Fewllet.

I liked the Ender's Game series. I got Ender in Exile for Christmas, and am about 1/4 way into it.

I've read the Dan Brown novels (DaVinci Code, etc.), which were all cut from the same cookie cutter. Nevertheless, they are pretty good, although there was a section of Deception Point where the protagonist nearly dies but lives through some kind of debacle involving a glacier and is rescued by a random submarine. Kinda far fetched.

I had jury duty a couple years ago, and went to the library during a break. I didn't have much time left and didn't want to end up in front of a judge who might send me to county for dereliction of duty, so I grabbed some random sci-fi book off the paperback rack - The Last Mortal Man by Syne Mitchell. I enjoyed it, although it was a little cheesy in parts. The concept was really well done; she had some expert input on nanobiology to flesh out the storyline.

I also bought The Pillars of the Earth to read while on a flight a year or so ago. I couldn't help but nearly fall asleep every time I would try to read it. It is so ridiculously dull, at least in the first few chapters I read, but it got such great reviews.

My current book is: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Next: whatever Oprah says (j/k) I was thinking about reading through the Redwall books again... all 20 of them.
