 Topic: What’s everyone reading??
Posted: May 09 2005 at 17:10 |
At the mo i'm reading Faerie Tale by Raymond E Feist. He is one of my
favorite authors with The Riftwar saga being my favorite series of
books.
What's everyone else out there got their reading glasses on for? (I say this as this forum has a majority of older members  )

I
don't read much lately, have too pick it up again soon. So many books
and so little time, I should use my time bette and read more.
I'm going to read Imagica from Clive Barker this week I think, or should I read something I haven't read yet????
Any recommendations for books in the same vein as Clive Barker, Fantasy preferable???

I've just read 3 Iain Banks novels back to back; 'Canal Dreams', 'Espedair St' and 'A Song of Stone'... I have 'The Bridge' sitting on the shelf looking at me, but shall give him a rest for a bit. Recently, I also read Paul Auster's New York Trilogy... well worth reading.

German Literature like Hermann Hesse, Franz Kafka, Johann Wolfgang
Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Max Frisch, Guenther Grass, Heinrich Heine
and whatever.
My favorite is probably "Narcissus and Goldmund" by Hesse, and currently I am reading "The Glass Bead Game" by the same author!

I'm reading The Remains of the Day, by Kazuo Ishiguro. (It's not that
good, but now that I'm a hundred pages into it I feel like I might as
well finish it.)

It's only knock and knowall, but I like it...

At the moment I'm (still) reading 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'.

Still in the middle of Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". I'm not rushing it; it's fairly rare that I let myself devote enough time for poetry- I'm much more of a fan of narrative. But LoG is like a song...and given the length, very much like a prog epic. In fact, one could almost call it the "Tales from Topographic Oceans" of 19th century American poetry.

"Lord of the Flies" By William Golding. I actaully am really enjoying Golding's take on savage human life, and the things the boys do in the book are actually quite terrifying.

It's good to see that people are reading. I enjoy reading
plays. Arthur Miller is a favorite as is David Mamet.
Currently reading "The Price". All about values and
relationships. And the value of relationships.
