What are you reading now?
   

I just finished yesterday Harry Potter & the Order of The Phonix (again), and am right now in a dilemma to go back to reading Interview with a Vampire or to go pick up The DaVinchi Code by Dan Brown.

I must say that I definately not read neither book more than twice, and that is definately no excuse of mocking me up!

Well, the only book I've read more than twice which I'm not ashamed of is Black Hawk Down which I read three times. I read it a third time just convine myself that Jerry Bruckheimer hadn't. Then again, I don't think he took History as a subject on the conviction of Pearl Harbour.

What's wrong reading a book more than once, if you enjoy it or compelled by it why not. The last thing I read was the story, Rogues in the House from The Conan Chronicles Volume 1 by R.E. Howard. I have tendacy to read snippets from the books I've read.

I don't say somethings wrong with reading a book more than once, just that gothic_army_babe_202 was pretty much exaggerating that I have read the HP series so many times that I have lost count.
The only series I have lost count to how many times I have read and reread them are my Thraxas books and the Discworld series.

I never did, I was talking matter of factly. I was trying to defend your honour, my lady.

The latest thing I've read was the latest number of the Swedish PC Gamer. Normally I read tons of books, but right now I don't, for some reason. Anyway the latest book I've read was Michael Moore's Stupid White Men.

I started reading Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erickson. Supposedly they already have 5 of 10 books on shelves in Canada. What interests me about this series is that I hear that each book is self-contained and has a complete story and that you can pick any book you want and read it. So far the writing and details are excellent. I hope each of this Canadian's books are this good. I am personally sick of all modern fantasy being written as a meal-ticket in which you have to read 20 books or you have no idea what is going on. The only person I can stand who does this is Jordan...because he started the trend and Wheel of Time is very good. But this Malazan Book of the Fallen series should be good...if each book is self-conained with a beginning, middle, and end like I have heard.

I've been reading Milton's "Paradise Lost" and the Lone Wolf and Cub manga. Good stuff.

Stupid White Men, Sandman comics and Blood Meridian (by Cormack McCarthy).

I haven't read many books more than once... in fact, Neuromancer is the only one I can remember right now.

Currently reading Hubbert's Peak: The Impending World Oil Shortage.
Pretty good insight into Peak Oil, gives pretty good basic knowledge.

That sounds interesting. I did some study about dwindling resources with the Open University a few years back and was quite alarmed at what I learned. When was the book written?

In 2003.
Although I find it a bit overly technical at some points.
So a better recommendation would be: The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies (also in 2003).

Going to read Order of the Phoenix soon... I read books one to four so I wouldn't be lost when I saw Prisoner of Azkaban (I haven't seen the others as I'm not really interesting in Harry Potter... it's something my girlfriend likes.) and they were ok.

Beyond that... Immortalis by Salvatore is still waiting to be read, as is something random I got passed to me, and I want to re-read a few Gibson novels (starting with Neuromancer, of course)...
