I like to read, but don't do nearly enough of it. I'm just curious what the rest of you are reading. I'd like to know what book you just finished, what you are reading now and what's next.

I'll start it out:

Just finished: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Feast_for_Crows" target="_blank">A feast for Crows</a> - George R.R. Martin

Currently Reading: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_Bride" target="_blank">The Princess Bride</a> - William Goldman

On Deck: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28novel%29" target="_blank">Dune</a> - Frank Herbert

I realize I'm finally getting to books that have been around for years, but... oh well!

:dunno:

Just finished "Judge" about a local politician from the 20's to the early 60's (don't remember who wrote it, but boy La polotics are interesting) I might read Da Vinci Code or a book a friend gave me called "Knights Templar"

Just finished "Dharma Bums" by Jack Kerouac

a beautiful good story imo

his life was sad man, died with like $91 to his name.... Amazing how someone who advocates living a good and right life so strongly ends up dying becasue they cause their liver to hemorrhage because they can't stop drinking? :mystery:

HA!

Camel Club is typical Baldacci's government conspiracy involving the secret service/fbi. It's not his best but I enjoyed reading it. I also read all of Reilly's books.

If you like Reilly's books, I would recommend you looked up Brad Thor and Vince Flynn. Maybe also Barry Eisler.

by **brinstar** » Mon May 08, 2006 4:51 pm

currently reading For Whom The Bell Tolls

haven't decided if The Sun Also Rises is next, or if i should refresh on the da vinci code

alternate option is a book of john gardner short stories

tangent: this older court interpreter whose young nubile friend i'm courting came in today to reschedule an appointment. she told me she'd have ruby (the hottie) do the appt on thursday. i told her that'd be outstanding, except i won't be around on thursday since i never work on my birthday. she then said happy birthday!!! and dug around in her purse and gave me a beautiful hand-painted bookmark that she got on her recent trip to honduras as a gift so now that i have an awesome bookmark i need to use it more often
