Wriging

Finished:
"The Immortal Game" by Shenk
"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" by Rowling
"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" by, you guessed it, Rowling

Now reading:
"The Pale Horseman" by Cornwell
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by.. meh, I won't even bother.
"Medieval Europe: A Short History" by Hollister (8th ed.)

I just finished reading The Poe Shadow, by Matthew Pearl. It was a good mystery, about the death of a man who wrote about mystery.

Spooky Art - Norman Mailer

I just re-read Harry G. Frankfurt's On Bullshit again.

It's a short read and very topical for me - I needed to be reminded.

As well as Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Well I am going to be completely unoriginal and say that I just finished the last Potter book. I am reading some good David Weber books though right now, so they will be next.

I just finished reading Techcrunch blog.

I just finished reading The Diary of Petr Ginz, by Chava Pressburger.

i've recently finished reading "managing projects" since i know nothing about that field of business. now i'm reading Sun Tzu's "Art of War". Next up in line: "Gödel, Escher, Bach - The Eternal Golden Braid"

@Alisa & Gnorb: My favorite book, too!

I've just finished Rachel's Holiday by Marian Keyes and The Nanny Diaries by Emma Mclaughlin and Nicola Kraus. Clearly very heavy reading.

Recently finished "Les Miserables." Want to start "Hunchback" next but cleansing the palate with "Barbarians at the Gate." Actually pretty good. "Reads like a novel," as the jacket cover says.

"Good Omens", by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. A very good and funny book about the apocalypse. It is written from the view point of both heaven and hell.
@Gnorb: I loved the Foundation series.

Just finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (4th book). I got the entire 7 books for my birthday and have been plodding through them since then, looks like my estimate of not finishing this side of Christmas was off a fair bit as about 3rd through the 5th in 2 days. I put off reading from book 3 as always wanted to do the entire series in one block. I had got out of reading for a while but this is getting me back into not just reading 'work' books. I have a big pile of books lined up after this and I've started dedicating 1-2hrs of an evening to reading. It's nice to take time out at the end of the day.

@ LoriM

Vonnegut is excellent, I'm currently reading Cat's Cradle, and recently read Breakfast of Champions (thoroughly recommend)

I just finished reading Malcolm X's autobiography. It's funny how little I learned of him in High School, and what I did learn of him was slanted, at best.

I just finished Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil (compiled by? It's all quotes from musicians, artists, managers and groupies). I had to read it for research but couldn't put it down. Hilarious and appalling.

I also just finished Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction by Sue Townsend. It was so funny that it made me want to go back and read the whole series again.

"The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman. Possibly one of the best pieces of science fiction I've ever read.

I most recently finished a few of Shakespeare's plays, which I am lecturing on -- The Tempest, Cymbeline, and Pericles. For fun, I just read Nicholas Clifford's The House of Memory.

The Onion Field by Joseph Wambaugh

Yay finally finished all the Harry Potter books and managed to avoid spoilers too much about the end of the 7th. All in all a bit of a marathon but enjoyed it and it has got me back into reading again which was the aim - I've got out of the habit of reading just for pleasure and it was always some work related book.

Dragon Sword and Wind Child by Noriko Ogiwara. Started off a little slow, but I couldn't put it down as it neared the conclusion.

Naruto: Mission: Protect Waterfall Village! - Er, had to write a review of it, but ended up enjoying it in spite of myself. Read like a comic book without pics, so it was fast paced and required almost no thought processes to absorb.

I have just finished reading 'Wuthering Heights',. I am also well on my way to finishing 'Fingerprints of The Gods'(A very strange book on the lost civilizations though. I enjoy myself imagining how they had been like before the great floods)

The Well of Eternity and The Demon Soul by Richard A. Knaak. Have to get the 3rd book to finish the trilogy.

Just read "The places in between" by Rory Stewart - he walked alone through Afghanistan. Quite a read. A very brave man in my book.

And now reading "the inheritance of loss" by Hiran Desai. Bit slow in bits, but slowly captivating me.

(1) Rapid maths and tricks (I preread for my children)

(2) A book translated from English into Dutch about personnality-types,

(3) Piaget on education written last century but surprisingly still actual.

I'm not really a fiction reader.

I just finished reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Doctor Wife by Sawako Ariyoshi and The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald.

I like The Doctor Wife the most.

The Colorado Kid by Stephen King. I am a huge fan of King, but this was not one of his best.

Also, Web of Evil by J.A. Jance -- very entertaining, although not entirely believable at certain points -- specifically the character April Gaddis was a stretch
