    I think we used to have a thread like this, but eh...it's dead so.

    I'm reading Clive Barker's Weaveworld now for the third time.

    Eh, Lenin's "State and Revolution" :p

    And I should probably finish my half-read "Catch 22" and Nick Hornby's "How To Be Good" sometime.

    I read How to be good about 3 months ago. Even though the book is not big at all I had some trouble getting through it. It's an alright book, not very special or anything.

    I still haven't quite finished reading Northanger Abbey. I think I've read pretty much all of Nick Hornby's books, they're good. The last book I finished was Dubliners which was for my English course.

    Yeah, How To Be Good is pretty alright but I don't think it can be as good as "High Fidelity".

    Dean, have you read Fever Pitch as well? I got that one by mistake, but after all it was great for a football book, haha.

    I've been dusting up some old favorites and reading them again just for the hell of it.

    The Westing Game (holy crap!) by Ellen Raskin
    Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

    I was reading American Psycho but I couldn't get through the descriptions of everyone's clothes. I told myself if he did it one more time I'd stop, also I didn't have time to read it after that.

    I've just started re-reading Rising Sun by Michael Crichton. I've read it 14 time already but this is one of my favorite books of all time. I'm taking a break from the other book for now.

    I never understood that, reading 2 books at the same time. I mean, if I read a book my whole mind is focused on it and if I would start a new book I would only get confused and I'd mix them up.

    For me it's not that hard to do. I've been multi-tasking in reading since I was really young. Reading The Dark Tower, I, II, and III, going from one to the other on the other hand was DAMN hard. :lol: I'll never try to read 3, 800+ page books at the same time again.
