    Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately

    I just read Carrie by Stephen King. It rocked! Tonight I am going to start Joyland by Stephen King. Okay, I'm on a Stephen King tangent. However, I think his books are really good.

      I loved Joyland! It came out while I was visiting back home in NJ one year, and I bought it & read it on the plane coming back. It's set in NC but it could easily be the Jersey shore or anyplace with that kind of atmosphere.

        Sleeping Beauties, by Stephen and Owen King. All 700+ pages! I'm about 200 in and like it so far.

          Reading What Happened, by H. Clinton.
          Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

            Just finished reading the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks. Currently reading The Ethical Carnivore: My Year Killing to Eat. As a vegetarian, it's hard to read...but I feel like I need to read it anyhow.

              I finished 20000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. Such a great book. It was hard to put it down, but since I am working I need my sleep.

                Well. Not reading as much as listening to really. I just got "Mythos" by Stephen fry, as an audiobook narrated by himself. A retelling of the Greek myths, with commentary. I'm a few chapters in. Liking it so far. It's clever and funny.
                You remind me of the babe
                What babe?
                The babe with the power
                What power?
                The Power of voodoo
                Who do?
                You do!
                Do what?
                Remind me of the babe!

                  Hey, I bought this when I was in Ireland two months ago! I haven't read it yet - but it's on my next to read list.

                  Just finished: Call Me by Your Name - Andre Aciman
                  Listening to: The Complete Collection of Sherlock Holmes, narrated by Stephen Fry
                  Reading now: How To Be Human - Paula Cocozza

                  Up next: ...probably Mythos, lol.

                    I'm reading Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. So far I really like it. It's very interesting.

                        I'm reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. Best impulse buy I've made recently.

                            Well, that's done now. I've just been gobbling up books lately. I've finished five this month.

                            Now onto Mythos by Stephen Fry!

                              Great minds think alike that's the one I'm on now. Although I've done a rare thing a bought the audio book, he narrates it himself. I usually prefer reading myself, but I like listening to him.

                                What do you think of it? I'm only a few chapters in, but so far I find his attempts at being funny to be obnoxious. Normally, I like Stephen Fry, but I find it slightly off-putting for the Greek myths.

                                I'll keep reading, but I'm finding it a little less immersive and a little lighter than I was hoping for.
