What are you currently reading?

Miles vorkorsigan saga (currently The last one) from Lois Mcmaster Boujould (sorry IF its mispelled).
A Space Opera.

Dubliners - James Joyce

The book I'm currently reading (or rather re-reading but the first time must have been about a decade ago) has apparently not been translated to english. It's "Und sie rührten an den Schlaf der Welt" by C. S. Mahrendorff. It's sort of a detective story set in Vienna of the late 19th century and although his name is never explicitly mentioned a certain detective appears.

Child of God by Cormac McCarthy

Just finished "Starship Troopers" by Robert A. Heinlein (which I couldn't help but enjoy, despite the hair-raising, jingoistic mindset it espouses). Currently reading "The Satanic Verses" by Salman Rushdie and "To Be or Not to Be: A Chooseable-Path Adventure" by Ryan North.

O Alquimista from Paulo Coelho

Use of Weapons from Iain M. Banks, but I am blocked at the middlepoint from a week

Lightbringer series, by Brent Weeks.

Just finished World Without End by Ken Follet and am rereading Shadowline (Starfishers Trilogy, #1) by Glen Cook because I always meant to read the rest of the trilogy and got the other two books from my library.

I often thought about starting such a thread, glad to see someone did.

Edit:Just read the OP; Temeraire is awesome, easily my favorite alternate history novels bar none:) Novik rocks. Supposedly a game based on the series is in the works and I'm excited because she worked on one of my favorite games of all time, Neverwinter Nights.

A book on Japanese history (realized that I had some major knowledge gaps in that particular area) simply called "Japans Historia" (by Ingemar Ottosson & Thomas Ekholm)

The Last Wish, by Andrzej Sapkowski, first book of the Witcher series

I'm reading a book about the Fermat's Last Theorem If you are curious about some math history, i recommend you to read it. It's a very good book!

If you're interested on a brief resume: if you hate math i guess you won't like the book
Do you know Pythagoras Theorem ? a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Well, Fermat Theorem says there's no solution for a^n + b^n = c^n, for any N > 3. Looks easy, don't ? At least simple to understand. The book says Fermat discovered this theorem but haven't left any prove about it. It took over 300 years until someone got it. Many mathematicians dedicated their lifes to explain the theorem, but a lot of them failed.

It's a good reading, there's a lot of interesting history about math :)

Sorry for the english x.x

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki
from Haruki Murakami

Brave New World. It's a book everyone should read at least once in lifetime.

Lone survivor by Marcus Luttrell currently. Later I intend to finally start Dark Tower series.

I'm reading "Cime di Gloria" (Peaks of Glory), it's about mountaineering :)

Nothing at this moment, but I got Lies of Locke Lamora recently and I'm really looking forward to it. Probably will read it when the long cold evenings come in late autumn :)

I've just started reading Sapkowski's "Baptism of Fire" (that's the English title, right?)

I have last 2 chapters of "Love and politics". Author is Jerzy Besala.

Just finished the fourth book of the Zombie Fallout series by Mark Tufo.

As always, reading two books at once:

The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester. It was the first Hugo Awards winner, published in 1953 if i'm not mistaken. I've set a goal of reading all of the Hugo winners.

Also, it's time for my yearly Douglas Adams re-reading session, so I just started Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the first one) again.

Just finished Freud's "The psychopathology of everyday life", great read.
I have no idea what to read next. Probably Gang Bang by Palahniuk.
We'll see!
