I'm not reading anything right now but The Time Paradox (the 6th Artemis Fowl novel by Eoin Colfer) comes out Tuesday. I will definitely be picking it up.
Dean Koontz - The Husband Brilliantly written. It has a lot of different genres in it such as Thriller, Mystery, Psychological Thriller.
I just finished reading, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. It was by far one of the most interesting and inspiring books I have read in quite awhile. It is about a family who travels to the states from Calcutta and try to live a typical American life. The son breaks away from this and travels down his own path. Very good read and I recommend it to all.
I just finished reading Yann Martel's "Life of Pi" this weekend. Loved it. I had only heard of it in passing, and assumed it was the story of a young boy deserted on a tropical island. Turns out it's more of an adolescent version of "Old Man and the Sea" if it's to be equated crudely with another book. Young Indian boy grows up in his father's zoo until it's decided the family will move to Canada and start anew. But Piscine (Pi for short) never makes it, as the ship sinks and leaves him stranded in a lifeboat with a zebra, orangutang, hyena, and a tiger. And it gets even more daunting from there. I'd recommend it as a great summer read for anyone who hasn't bothered with it yet.
The Confessions of Augustine. What can I say about the man? It's best to handle the book in small doses because there is so much to contemplate. Just started reading book 10. What a great mind Augustine was. How complete and thorough are his analysis of the topics unto which he writes that again, its best to read him in small doses or you are likely to miss something along the way. -Mark
Just bought and read Batman: The Killing Joke and I'm gonna try to go on to read Vampire Hunter D vol. 1 and get through Stephanie Meyer's Eclipse at the same time.
I am currently reading, or more so currently finishing, Wastelands. Its a grouping of short Dystopian stories. I don't read Dystopian stuff often, but most of them were good so far.
Roma by Steven Saylor. A novel about ancient Rome from 1000 BC to 1 BC. Only just started it, but so far it is really good.
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey Interesting at first but right now I'm getting a bit bored with all the backstory. I greatly dislike history lessons in fantasy novels. ~DragonHeart~
The Fountainhead (yeah, STILL Haven't finished it...), as well as a book about Serial Killer Psychology, although the name escapes me currently.. I just finished The Stranger - Camus awhile back - wonderful book.
I'm currently reading "Nightshade" by John Saul. I'm enjoying it more than the first Saul book I read, "The Presence", but not by much. I plan on reading "Blackstone Chronicles" later in the year. If I don't care for that either, I think it will be safe to say that I'm not a John Saul fan.
Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, Elizabeth Haydon's Rhapsody, and Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island. I don't have much time to read anymore because of work, but I catch a few snippets in between breaks, or when I'm walking from my car to my apartment, or while I'm chewing on dinner. I just finishd L'Etranger last month in French. I'll be tackling it in English soon. It'll probably make more sense to me then.
