What book are YOU reading?!?!

I just wanted to see who out there is reading. I LOVE reading. I usually do it right before I go to sleep at night and it is SO relaxing. So I am just curious of what kinda good books are out there... Tell me what book you are reading or have already read that is really good? What's it about?!?!

I finished Moby Dick last night and am on to Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky of course. :)

i would have to say my most favorite book on this planet would have to be speak but the book i am currently reading and absolutely love is " Maximum Ride". it's like this whole series about these mutant bird freaks- sounds dull but itz hott. i totallly love it, im on book 2

Aviation and the Law...and yes it is as boring as it sounds...just trying to get through my class. 

new moon :]

After reading all the above posts about all the heavy books you guys are reading, I feel a bit silly to admit that I'm currently on a paperback thriller kick. Greg Iles, Preston and Child, Lee Child, Caleb Carr, Dean Koontz...I've been devouring their books like crazy lately. To save a bit of face here my next book is going to be Middlesex

Currently reading "The Reasons I Won't Be Coming" by Elliot Perlman- it's a thoughtful- and sometimes strange- collection of short stories.

 Also 3/4 of the way through "Eat, Pray, Love" - I have to keep putting it down because she describes food in such detail that I'm hungry every time I sit down to read it!

 I see your Aviation and the Law and raise you Introduction to Organic Spectroscopy.

just starting two new books, one fiction and one non-fiction:

1) the naked lunch - william burroughs

2) the nine: inside the secret world of the supreme court - jeffrey toobin

Just started His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman (includes the Golden Compass which they just made a movie of).

I LOVE it so far!

His Dark Materials is AMAZING. I've read that series many times, and just recently re-read it with my husband.

Have fun!

Ya, His Dark Materials is a great series. One of my favorites.

I'm currently reading "Bearing An Hourglass" by Piers Anthony. It's the 2nd of 5 books entitled "Incarnations of Immortality". Excellent so far.

I have a lot of spare time at work, so I get a lot of reading time in.... lol
I'm currently reading The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon. It's book #5 in a series of 6. They are great books. I couldn't put Outlander (the first book) down when I first started reading it, although I didn't really get into it until about 400 pages in. My mom got me into them this year (I'm 25 and she wouldn't let me read them when I was a teen.... and now I know why! lol)

 I also just finished The Golden Compass and am about to start the second book of His Dark Materials.

Also reading Dr. Phil's Love Smart: Find the One You Want, Fix the One You Got. A gift from my mother... I wonder if it was a hint?  lol

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

I just finished Margret Atwood's The Handmaids Tale, now I'm on Dean Koontz's The Husband.

eurgh I HATED the handmaid's tale, i really couldn't stand it.

anyway.. i'm reading Russell Brand's autobiography 'Russell Brand's Booky Wook'

I liked the Handmaid's Tale, though it was strange. A lot of her books are strange, but some like Alias Grace, Robber Bride, and the Blind Assassin were so good I couldn't put them down. They were much better than the Handmaid's Tale.

The Penelopiad was also strange, but an interesting retelling of the Odyssey.

I'll have to put those on my reading list :)

A couple, at the moment:

re-reading The Boy Next Door, by Meg Cabot.

I have to start reading The Grapes of Wrath for my History class. I've never read this before, does anyone have any feedback on it?

And I have to read parts of The Zebra Finch - A Synthesis of Field and Laboratory Studies for my research lab.

I'm also reading my way through Janet Evanovich's books, and I am anxiously waiting for Tess Gerritsen to come out with another book!

I'm about halfway through Twinkie, Deconstructed.  Great read.

kaptain9 - Grapes of Wrath is my favorite book ever.  Steinbeck is a descriptive genious.  I love the chapter where he describes the machines taking over the old family farms ...
