So, what are you all reading?

The only thing I'm really reading now is my Geography syllabus. The geography of the world economy and physical geography. Especially physical geography is fun :)

The last novel I read was Paulo Coehlo's latest novel, Zahir. But I returned it after reading about half the book. Wasn't really for me.

So the last novel I (really) read was the latest installment of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. I love that series. Anyone else here who has read something by George Martin?

Right now I'm reading: "George Washington's War: The Sage of The American Revolution" by Leckie. It's a nonfiction account of, guess what, the American Revolution War. I highly recommend it if you're interested in military history.

Not reading anything fun at the moment; just studying, sigh. The last book I read was Eragon I think.

Just finished the "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It is a fantastic Nobel prize winning book. Absolutely recommend it.

I agree. Don't be scared by the number of pages, it's a great book.

My girlfriend is currently reading "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Marquez. She really likes it, so I was wondering whether I should give Marquez a try. Is "One Hundred Years of Solitude" better, though?

I've recently finished reading Winnetou by Karl May for the second time. I liked it very much. Before that, I read Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, and really enjoyed it. Too bad it ends how it ends... And before that, um... I believe I re-read The Secret Garden by F.E. Hodgson Burnett; some may view it as a children's book, but it's one of my favourites and I'd read it with pleasure at any age.

Currently not reading anything. Well I am reading the Ultimate Galactus comics and The Ultimates but that doesn't really count.
