I'm in the middle of a book called The Judas Strain. Bought it second-hand off someone. So far it seems to be pretty good. Something about a scary, mysterious virus and ancient civilisations and what not.

Patrick Rothfuss, "The Name of the Wind." Awesome epic fantasy that subverts many of the cliches of the genre. Highly recommended!

Right now I'm in the middle of Humble Pie by Gordon Ramsay.
Or well, I say I'm in the middle but I'm really near the end. I really liked it.
One of the better autobiographies I've read, recently.

I'm currently reading "My Own Kind of Freedom" by Steven Brust

It was going to be the official novel to span the gap between the Firefly television series and the Serenity movie. Universal didn't license it so the author made it creative commons and released it. I think it's the closest we'll get to a new official story from the 'verse. You can get it for free here in just about every format: http://dreamcafe.com/downloads/

I'm currently reading both 'The Great Gatsby' which is a good fun and very inquisitive read so far. Contrary to this i'm also obliged to read 'Wuthering Heights' for english and what a dull drain and gothic book that is, I'm sure it is good if it's your sort of thing but hating every page at the moment.

I have just finished reading A Storm of Swords 2: Blood and Gold by George. R. R. Martin, verrrry good read I must say, one of those that you can't put down you know, you just feel compelled to turn the next page?

Anyhow I am soon to move on to Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell after hearing very good things about it.

If you are interested by Kissinger's 'On China', you would probably enjoy 'Wild Swans' by Jung Chang. It is an incredible book.

I'm currently reading through Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series and right now I'm on "The Burning Wire." One of the better crime series I've read, I think.

I'm currently reading "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time". It's a fabulous book, written from the perspective of a 15yr old boy who (most likely) has Asperger syndrome, a form of autism.

It's fantastic for anyone who wants to understand a little more about living with autism and the challenges associated. As a psychology student I have found it extremely insightful ! :D

I`m reading Shadow of Moonlite`s Dreamveawer on storiesonline.net (it is a pornsite)

It is a trilogy of veeery long and somewhat long winded stories about a kid, who can visit and wreak havoc in people`s dreams.

I am about half way through the second book and the hero just stole 6.5 million from a professional assassin and it is getting pretty hairy.

Dreamveaver is the second book in the series. They are pretty good if one is into such things.

I recently finished reading 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green after being moaned at by friends for not having done-so. Quite a teen popular at the moment but I love John Green's way with words and am going to start reading his other books. I'm also reading 'The New Mythic Tarot' by Juliet Sharman-Burke and Liz Greene.

Just having a look at what everyone is reading on here too!

Have you read 'Fight Club' yourself? It has been reccomentded to me but I am yet to have got hold of it.

I'm currently reading "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time". It's a fabulous book, written from the perspective of a 15yr old boy who (most likely) has Asperger syndrome, a form of autism.

It's fantastic for anyone who wants to understand a little more about living with autism and the challenges associated. As a psychology student I have found it extremely insightful ! :D

This is actually one of my favourite books. So few people have heard of it. This has made me want to read it for the 8th time but I have recently lent it out to a friend. Very interesting though and it is wonderfully written. It is always fantastic to have that opening into someone's mind. I read a very interesting book (which I can't for the life of me remember the name of or who it is by) but it is written from the perspective of a man in his late 20s who sees most senses as numbers and numbers as taste. Very good read also.

Haven't read fight club but I find it hilariously ironic that it spawned a movie and a video game. Never get between anti-capitalist and a big pile of money. As for me I'm re-reading Transfer of Power by the late Vince Flynn may he RIP. Mitch Rapp makes Jack Bauer look like Mango.
