Greetings, gang. I was curious about the literacy of the members around here. Of the few I know I don't think there are any readers, or if this thread will be successful, but it's worth a shot.
I'm busy reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. I read his Da Vinci code and that was a great novel. So far Angels and Demons is setting itself up in a very similar fashion and promises to be another mentally stimulating read!
Anybody around here reading something?

Exam period right now, so I'm not really reading anything. Left about four books unfinished though:
* Joachim Fernau - Deutschland, Deutschland, über alles...
* Die Sympathie der Goldfische (4 short novels by different korean authors)
* Yukio Mishima - Liebesdurst ("thirst for love")
* Oe Kenzaburo - Der stumme Schrei ("silent scream").
Any one of them a recommended read.

If comic books count, then I can say Transmetropolitan. If not, I could say Bram Stoker's Dracula... Well, not really, I've been trying to read it for a long time, but I allways forget it at my parents place when I'm visiting them... OH SHIT! If I call RIGHT NOW I could tell my mother to bring it here when she comes visiting tomorrow! I'l just do that... (for those who didn't know (all except Daedolon that is), I live 450kilometers away from my parents atm (and for those who don't know kilometers, its about quite a bit actualy))
Screwtape Letters by C.S Lewis: This book is very interesting... Its about a buch of letters written by a demon to his nephew giving him advice on tempting humans.
Bone Hunter by Steven Erikson
Book 11 of the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (Can't remember what it's called)
Going Postal by Terry Pratchet
The Weeping Goddess by Zane Gentis

i'm reading currently raymond e. feist books. just finished "magician". in poland this title is in two-book edition. i borrowed second part today and just saw the last page about 20 minutes ago. yep, i'm a book devourer sometimes and now i have a little cross-eye :]
signatures are irrelevant. they are for those naive simpletons, who think that they can sum their whole life philosophy in several worlds.
idiots.
idiots.
I finished reading Screwtape Letters. I really enjoyed it. There was a refence to Cerberus and hellhounds in the very last chapter, were the demons are talking about the less tasty souls:
"Our catches will be ever more numerous; but they will consist of trash---trash which we should once have thrown to Cerberus and the hellhounds as unfit for diabolical consumption."
Now I'm reading That Hideous Strength also by C.S. Lewis.
I've also gotten to 1 Samuel in the Old Testament.

I finaly got my copy of Dracula with me, and I'm reading it at work. It's just too frustrating when you get to an exciting part and a customer walks in...
Anyways, about 40 pages left. Great book so far. Seems the Bram Stoker's Dracula movie wasn't really that loyal to the book as I expected. I tried re-watching the movie a week ago (when I had read about half of the book), and I kept thinking "that's not how it went" and "exactly as in the book". Should be capable of finishing the book in maby 2 days. It's all up to the customers...
