What are you reading?

Currently Reading:

(in order of most recently picking up; I read more than one book at a time, so it takes me a while to complete each one, sometimes... :O )

Link (careful, site has BRIGHT RED background):

3.) "The Virtue of Selfishness"

I find myself reading more often reviews, excerpts, articles, & forum post's nowadays, but I suspect I'll eventually get back to consistently reading books at some point D:

I feel really bad because I haven't read anything that's not for school in forever.

Well, its not like I'm not reading, just mostly newspapers and magazines, not novels.

I read schlock compared to most of you.

The world is depressing enough as it is, why complicate things further imo :P.

Anaesthesia wrote: Oh, good point. About the one who poisoned Joffrey, I'm positive it was the Queen of Thorns. Look at this exerpt: A Storm Of Swords wrote: ?You do look quite exquisite, child,? Lady Olenna Tyrell told Sansa when she tottered up to them in a cloth-of-gold gown that must have weighed more than she did. ?The wind has been at your hair, though.? The little old woman reached up and fussed at the loose strands, tucking them back into place and straightening Sansa?s hair net. ?I was very sorry to hear about your losses,? she said as she tugged and fiddled. Since we can assume that Littlefinger sent the hairnet and poisoned the pearls, Olenna had an excellent opportunity to take them there. Also, she's announced publically that she was to leave the very next day, so it wouldn't seem suspicious if she disappeared from the scene. A Storm Of Swords wrote: Lady Olenna smiled. ?I am pleased to say I shall be leaving for Highgarden the day after next. I have had quite enough of this smelly city, thank you.?

I really think that the poising of Joff is turning out to be just like the who killed Asemodean conspiracy theroy (Uuhhhh got to re-read that entire series before the final book comes out with the new author). God I hope that the Starks finally get some vengenace. Man Martin has really taken a shit on them.

Anybody read A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Byrson? It is a great read that puts a whole lot into lay-mans terms. Really recommend this for any science enthusiast or some one looking to dabble in the subject.

For anyone who in for an engrossing sci-fi, Heinlin's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" comes highly recommended :D

Still Eleanor Rigby by Coupland. I can't find the time to finish it.

I'm reading Film Art: An Introduction for uni 

reading Going After Cacciato

I started reading Stormy Weather by Carl Hiaasen quite a while ago, but I've been distracted so haven't been able to read it much lately.
