What are you reading currently?

[Søren]

I just finished 'Judge Dredd: Year Two' a collection of short stories about his early years. Now started 'Flowers for Algernon' Only few pages in so far I like it, seems like it will be good. Most things I read are Sci-Fi or graphic novels. (:  

[wildmaven]

I'm currently reading:

"A Natural History of the Senses" by Diane Ackerman

"Preparedness Survival" by Pedchenko Vitaly

"Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" by Neil deGrasse Tyson

"The Disappearing Spoon" by Sam Kean

"Complete Medical Spanish"

"The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady" by Elizabeth Stuckey

And I'm only 5% into "The Complete Novels of Mark Twain."

Gotta love Kindles.

The trick is not to read two of the same genre. That way when someone shoots a spaceman, you know it wasn't a Mark Twain character, haha.

Right now, my favorite is the Disappearing Spoon, but it's non-fiction (I read a lot of that). It's all about the periodic table. [/nerd]

I'm reading Witch Chocolate Bites, the fourth book in a cozy mystery series about witches and chocolate and things. They're kinda cheesy but I'm enjoying them. Next up will be The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, and maybe Persuasion by Jane Austen. I'm mostly frantically trying to get through my to-read pile before school starts again so there's no real organization. My favorites from my recently finished pile are Artemis by Andy Weir, and The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. (And Jane Eyre was pretty great, too.)

I'm curious how you'll like Flowers for Algernon! I deeefinitely remember that one.

wildmaven "Astrophysics for People in a Hurry" is an amazing title! How is it?

I'm still on the first chapter. But so far it's good.

I read both of those! The latter didn't impress, as I knew most of the stuff.

Just finished MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. It's been years and it was fun to test myself to see if I could figure it out. Usually I can, but this one I did not get correct.

Started THE FINAL VICTIM by Stephen J. Cannell. Only a couple of pages in so far, so hard to say how it will go.
