I'm busy learning Mandarin now. New challenge. I am rereading the half blood prince in Korean, and the three musketeers in Japanese as well though.
I'm reading John Ringo's Against the Tide. I should be reading my Chinese-English dictionary that has an entire section on how to speak Mandarin, but thats boring.
I'm reading Stephen Fry's autobiography, "Moab Is My Washpot." It's not quite 'Capital-L Literature,' but it is laugh-out-loud funny!
I'm about 1/2 way through, 50 Weapons that Changed Warfare by William Weir. A good mixture of military history & tactics, and technology with some world history and cultural bits thrown in. Terry
Just finished a fantastic book called "Sky Burial: An Epic Love Story of Tibet," by an author with one name: Xinran. It's a translation from the Chinese, from Anchor Books.
I'm currently working my way through The Silmarillion, from which I'm trying to learn Sindarin (see my sig). I'm also working on the Cirque du Freak series, and have recently finished or re-read Space Cadet, Best Loved Poetry, Far Frontiers, and The Examination.
I'm trudging my way through the Dark Tower Series, have been for three years and I just finished Fight club....
I am currently reading Will James books. [Alot of you probably haven't heard of him, but he's a terriffic author, atleast I like his writing style. He's a cowboy back in the early 1900s, and he has like 24 books about... well, cowboy stuff. I just finished All In The Day's Riding and am currently reading Sand.
I just finished The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul by Douglas Adams, and I'm about to start A Fire Upon the Deep by the amazing Vernor Vinge.
I had trouble getting into Fire on the Deep, so I'm reading Rainbow's End, also by Vernor Vinge. Right now I'm really impressed.
To Have and Have not, by Ernest Hemingway. I can't say for sure I understand everything that's being said (or not said?) between the characters, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.
