Hey, I wanted to get an idea for what kind of books everyone out there is reading, or what the book is that they've last read, so everybody post the book they're reading or have just read.
Homer: The Iliad and the Odyssey (Two-part book Edit: Rather, a book with two separate stories included.)
None.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
Introduction to modern financial accounting (I translated the title)...
I just finished reading
If Chins Could Kill, the autobiography of Bruce Campbell. I'm currently reading
Survivor, which is a trip.

SpecialsOne I recommend to ya'll is
Little Brother
Red classic.
"In short, their absurdities are so extreme that it is painful even to quote them."
The last book I have read is
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore.
I have never had more fun reading a book until I tried Christopher Moore.
Funny guy himself. I met him once at a signing in Naperville, Illinois. That was before I actually read any of his books, though.
None.
I'll have to check that out. I love BoingBoing and Cory Doctorow is freakin' awesome.

Dune and the rest of the series are pretty good, both as a story and as a deeper message.
Red classic.

DUMBLEDORE DIES

Excellent choice. I haven't read a good book in a while.

Enjoy! That seems like something I may want to add to my list as well, my dad always talks about it but I've never read it myself. (Hitchhikers guide) Haven't heard much about Dune.
I'm really interested in Greek mythology and the like right now, I recently remembered reading a small section of the Iliad in High School and I really enjoyed it so I decided to pick up the whole story. After I might pick up the Divine Comedy.
None.
Relatively ancient and inactive
Harry Potter.. Trilogy? Lols.
... I haven't read much lately. Hoping getting a Kindle will change that. Notable books/authors:
- Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series - They're odd, sometimes awesome, have some interesting stories and tie in well with other novels to create a very weird universe. Also see "It" (Long, creepy, sometimes horrifying, great book) and "The Stand" (Plague kills off most of the human race, two centers of power form in the post-apocalyptic world that need to kill the other off. Awesome, epic book). And some others, like "Desperation" and "The Eyes of the Dragon" (King's take on plain fantasy). Maybe "The Shining".
- Richard Lee Byers's series "The Rage" and "Unclean" - It's similar to generic hack-and-slash fantasy, but I like him in that he actually works to make it hard to predict what will happen without ruining the storyline. They're unpredictable and generally fun to read if you like hack-and-slash.
- "War of the Spider Queen" - also generic hack-and-slash, also unpredictable and epic, six book series by six authors. It may not be deep, but still very fun to read.
And for the more educational type, I somewhat recently read "From Yalta to Berlin" by W. R. Smyser, which details from the end of WWII to the fall of the USSR the conflicts between the US and the USSR and how they all centered around Germany. Very informative, somewhat slow but generally not boring.
None.
Harry Potter... Heptalogy?! That's not even a word. No wait, it is a word! And Harry Potter is definitely not a trilogy.
Oh, by the way- Flags of our Fathers as a novel. It's not bad. Certainly not my taste though.
None.
