What Are You Reading?

That's one of my favorite books, but I usually warn people that it is VERY bleak.

I actually thought they did a decent job with the movie; oddly enough when I read it back in '07 or '08 I pictured Viggo Mortensen(sp?) as the lead for whatever reason.

Yeah, McCarthy is one nihilistic author hehe. I just caught the Sunset Limited flick and then read the book... good stuff.

been reading chuck palahniuk (fight club) books this year . . .choke, haunted.

now trying to read the first game of thrones book but having a baby is kind of a book block.

BUMP!

I'm just finishing up Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I bought it on a whim to avoid buying Shades of Grey (I'm one woman who's not giving into the trend without a fight!) And it's actually a very good piece of historical fiction. Factually accurate and yet somehow managed to fit vampires into the life and times of Old Abe. It's also way more graphically violent than I thought it would be. I was surprised to find myself as engrossed in it as I am.

Before that I read Tina Fey's autobiography, Bossypants. Incredibly hilarious if you like her style of humor.

His best for me was Survivor, then probably Choke and Fight Club. I couldn't get more than five pages into pygmy because of the writing style.

I'm on the waiting list at the library for the Kindle version right now. When I first read the title, I thought....man that's just stupid. BUT, the description seemed ok and NOW I see it is coming out in theaters in a month or so.....Abe....Vampire hunter.....to much

I'm not excited for the movie at all. I just feel like it's going to be ridiculous but people are already crapping on it because they think it's some manufactured Hollywood crap going on the popular vampire theme and no one realizes its actually a book.

I am in the middle of The Game Of Thrones, I have been watching the series on HBO, but the books add more detail than what HBO can offer in 1 hour. I like the series and the book. I do not think in this case that one form of media is better than the other but rather they complement each other...

Bossypants was wicked funny in parts! On the other hand I don't think Fey's work at SNL was very good :twocents:

I'm reading Steve Jobs by Isaacson. Makes want to buy a Mac again (after 15 or so years) and drop acid this summer on a camping trip...

Finished Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals last month...very interesting. And im almost done with the Sniper Team 6 by Wasdin book suggested here which has been entertaining as well.

I'm reading <The Universe in a Single Atom> by the Dalai Lama. It is a very intelligent and interesting read about the interface between science and religion (especially, unsurprisingly, Tibetan Buddhism). The Dalai Lama avoids the common simplistic mistakes of seeing an unbridgeable gap between science and religion or, on the other hand, collapsing the two. If you are interested in religion and science, it is a great read.
