I used to read a lot, especially at night. Though when I got my netbook, I started reading blogs and such in bed. The only book I'm reading right now is an XNA programming book.
Just got done reading The Power of One [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a9/PowerOfOne.jpg/180px-PowerOfOne.jpg[/img] I cried like a goddamn sissy man baby by the end of it :crying:
I don't really enjoy reading too much except for the occasional book that really interests me. Right now that is The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
Reading this book. [img]http://blogs.sfweekly.com/foodie/Waste_Cover.jpg[/img] Enjoying it so far.
I read a book once.
[img]http://www.jabberwocky.co.nz/images/images_product/1847382312.jpg[/img] If you haven't read Unwind yet, you seriously should. One particular chapter in that book will probably stick with me forever. If you've read it, you know the chapter I'm talking about.
The Belgariad series by David Eddings (and probably the Mallorean, when I get around to reading it). I also read a lot of Star Wars books such as the Thrawn Trilogy and the Jedi Academy Trilogy.
I really like Death: A Life by George Pendle
LOVING the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher Catch 22-Joseph Heller For Whom the Bell Tolls-Ernest Hemingway The Stand-Stephen King Hitchhiker's Guide Series/Dirk Gently Series-Douglas Adams Shutter Island-Dennis LeHane Count of Monte Cristo/Three Musketeers-Alexandre Dumas

Currently reading: [img]http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/c1/c5624.jpg[/img] Second time reading Dune, haven't read any of the other books.
[img]http://www.davidlouisedelman.com/wp-content/uploads/infoquake-thumb.jpg[/img] It's this place where technology is completely integrated with the world, and you have chips in your head that let you see more stuff. It's actually really good.

I'm reading Kurt Vonnegut now. [img]http://images.indiebound.com/849/333/9780385333849.jpg[/img] I'm looking for a cool book that fucks with your head. Kind of like, a book where you don't know what's real and what isn't. Along those lines.
Nope/
[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;21537567]I started Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut a few days ago and the first bit is really slow, and I hope it picks up soon, because I'm a bit let down from what I keep hearing about him, and from reading Cat's Cradle a few years and really digging it.[/QUOTE] Slaughterhouse-Five is one of my favorites...
Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse
Agatha Christie Easy to Kill
Glad so many people posted Dune
[img]http://www.thewarstore.com/media/BLP614.jpg[/img] Because Abnett will rape you.
All of John Grisham's books.
[QUOTE=TrenchFoot;21956070]Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse[/QUOTE] What's it about, because I'm too lazy to look things up myself.
[QUOTE=Gluth;21956533]What's it about, because I'm too lazy to look things up myself.[/QUOTE] It's about this dude. Here's a wiki blurb: "Combining autobiographical and fantastic elements, the novel was named after the lonesome wolf of the steppes[not like furry style, just a loner dude]. The story in large part reflects a profound crisis in Hesse's spiritual world in the 1920s while memorably portraying the protagonist's split between his humanity, and his wolf-like aggression and homelessness."
Terry Pratchett: The colour of magic I was completely immersed for 2/3's of the story. Includes a luggage chest with legs, dragons and a naked heiress riding a dragon (flying it not the other thing you perv).
For the other 1/3 the words only went as far as your belly button?
