Here it is. What *books* have you been, or are you, reading lately? Ebooks most certainly count; I'm a big fan. Audiobooks count too. I'm currently listening to "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" and am finding it to be a fantastic book. Very much enjoying it. Also currently reading "The Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov and "The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul" by Douglas Adams.
What are you reading?

I was reading the Oh Myyy! There Goes The Internet book by George Takei while I was sitting in jury duty. He makes connections I never even thought of.
Now I am contimplating picking up To The Stars and Just a Geek.
As I said in the Bump thread, I'm currently reading Jono's Art of Community, and the Vorkosigan Saga my Lois McMaster Bujold.

SHHHHH
Dont tell anyone.
People will talk.
Good point.
So uh... The Oh Myyy! book is pretty cool... I particularly like the parts where he talks about how the effect social media has during natural disasters - both as a means of communication and as a way of getting other people to help out if they can.
/me blunders in... who is this compiledkernel person anyway? :)
"The Complete Golden Dawn System of Magic" by Israel Regardie. It is about 1,200 pages. I don't think it is going to be a one night read. :)
Im actually re-reading the VALIS trilogy.

I'm of the opinion that plays should be seen and not read, unless you're in it or directing it. :p
"The complete peanuts collection 1973-1974" by Charles M Schulz

Ideally, certainly- but some of us who live a thousand miles from nowhere have to put up with the text, though... And one of my favorite pieces of literature is actually the script of a play- *Julius Caesar *by Wm. Shakespeare.
Nice choice of reading btw. I'm also working my way through my Dilbert: 1989-2009 collection. :D
Peter Hamilton's Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained
James Corey - Caliban's War
Neal Stephenson - Reamde
A couple of ecology books.
All made of paper in the time honoured tradition

Been reading The Wheel of Time series since January. I'm on book 5 of 14 now.
