Yo hey, OT, whatchya reading?

Hey OT with the month of June getting off to a start I thought it would be a good time to look at what we are reading.

I recently started Mr Mercedes by Stephen King, which came out the other day.

Will share my thoughts as I get into some more.

Am also looking into rereading Gravity's Rainbow.

So what are you guys reading

Oh dave. Good to see you back on OT. where are your best freinds mr wayne and lai?

On topic : reading nothing atm unfortunately

The demonologist

Currently not reading anything, but planning to head to the comic book shop and picking up some stuff. I'll update here when I do start get reading.

Does reading OT count?

Math.

The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands by Stephen King

It's pretty great so far

Read a couple books recently.

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs (It's YA, but I loved it. Being made into a movie next year. I know I'm an adult, but the addition of pictures made the experience much more immersive and the groundwork they laid made it easier to imagine the things not pictured)

Push by Sapphire (the novel the movie Precious was based on. Didn't love it, but it was interesting to see inside the head of what the reality of someone vastly different from myself is like)

Me and Emma by Elizabeth Flock (didn't see the twist because I really wasn't looking for it) and the sequel (what I'm currently reading) What Happened To My Sister

Red Rain by RL Stine (do not bother, really. Absolute mediocrity)

Inferno by Dan Brown (still enjoying this series, despite the consistent Robert-Langdon-and-a-pretty-girl-go-on-an-adventure-and-there's-some-romance dynamic)

Next on my to-read are Gone Girl and a couple John Green books.

All the possible books related to Islamic thought , mathematical analysis and operations research.Got three finals coming up this week.Shit, I'll hold a party if I pass OR.All the dudes on OT are invited.

Right now I'm getting a nostalgia kick by reading all of the Margaret Weiss & Tracy Wickman's Dragonlance books that I could never find as a kid. Gotta love e-readers (although I secretly think "You're not a real book", but I would never tell it that...)

Also, Jim Butcher's new book came out recently so that's what me and the wife will be reading next =D

Isn't that the guy who wrote the Goosebumps novels? Those were really nice as a kid but I'm not sure he has the depth to write proper horror novels...well, from your reaction I guess he doesn't XD

King has a new book? Sheesh, I still haven't read Dr Sleep yet.

He sure is prolific. There's also another coming out later this year

The History of Political Ideas by Sven Eric Liedman. pretty good read.

Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence. It's not bad.

Still slowly read bits of the first book of The Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

I have attention issues when first starting a series of books but once I become compelled by the series I get addicted and start churning through pages

I'm also looking into getting The Walking Dead graphic novels and I heard they are making graphic novels for ASOIAF/Game of Thrones..

Xom-B, by Jeremy Robinson.

Think 'Minority Report' meets 'Walking Dead' meets 'I, Robot'. So far, so awesome!

Thinking of getting chickens for fresh eggs, so I am reading "Building Chicken Coops for Dummies".

Finished Skin Game by Jim Butcher last weekend

-Mathematics books

-At some point, I am going to read a book on finance by Dave Ramsey that a friend of my parent gave me. It is called "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness."

-Remembering the Kanji: A Complete Course on How Not to Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters by James Heisig

Yeah, I have it ready for when I finish the one I'm currently reading. Was it good? =)

Nothing at the moment, got sidetracked by a couple of unforeseen events. So until I settle down and go back to my old routine, I decided to review Socialism utopian and scientific by Engels.

Yeah, it has Nicodemus which is always fun

You gotta respect a guy who loves what he does =D

Do you have it in hard copy or a pdf/epub?

Yeah it is. Basically it's the plot for a cheesy straight-to-dvd horror movie with a pretty abrupt and stupid ending. It has all of the need-to-have's: Creepy children, island, rituals, orphans, he-said-she-said, violence and ominous and mythical stories told by the villagers.

You could basically condense it into an episode of Supernatural and it'd still come out better than how this book did.

Night of the Living Dummy was scarier than this.

I have a copy of The Wolf of Wallstreet by Jordan Belfort on my desk. I plan to start it soon.

@XilePrincess: So basically your average "think of a scene for each one of the essentials, tie them all together half-assedly, shake vigorously and print" way of writing a book, huh? =p

Bump

I don't read books and it has been a while since I read the bible :-/

The Brave Cowboy

just finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Was extremely interesting. Have just started a biography of Descartes.

Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Loving it so far.

De Avonden by Gerard Reve.

House of Leaves. But I don't recommend anyone read that. The book's not for you.

hard copy,why? couldn't find anywhere in the net?

Agreed. Book sucks.

As in it's terrible, or it scared the living shit out of you?

Resident Evil : The Umbrella Conspiracy by S.D. Perry

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. Really enjoying the book so far.

The house of leaves is adequate

I'm reading fortunes for only $9.99/reading. :D

it's just terrible

I would rather be repeatedly smacked on the head with a hardcover textbook.

I and Thou, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, and The World Until Yesterday.

@ferrari2001: is that his new epic fantasy? I enjoyed the mistborn books

That I don't know. Someone on this site actually recommended the book in another thread so I picked it up. It's quite good.
