[Misc] What Book are you Currently Reading?

[Braders]

Finished :
Fabrice Muamba : I'm still standing - didn't find out anything I didn't know already from watching the ITV documentary but still an enjoyable read.
Simon Goddard : Ziggyology - very enjoyable read this - follows the ideas and bringing together of Ziggy Stardust right from the start of the World.

Currently reading Faithful: Two Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season - decent read considering I'm not really a baseball fan.

Finished reading that and massively enjoyed it too , now for Open :Andre Agassi a couple of chapters in and interesting to see the thought process of a sportsman who didn't really enjoy it.

Dead Famous by Ben Elton.

It's crap.

Bosworth,the birth of the tudors by Chris Skidmore
very interesting read. if it was a novel it would be written off because the plot would be regarded as unbelievable.the war of the roses had everything that a good blockbuster requires.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Dead Famous by Ben Elton.

It's crap.

I read that also, and agree it is pony, but you will NEVER guess the ending

Let us expand the topic slightly. Compile a short list of 10, or so, novels that you personally feel are your 'favourites'. A tough task no doubt, however, i'll go first.
PG Woodehouse - Code of the Woosters (There has not been and never will be anything that comes close)
Martin Amis - Money
Salman Rushdie - Satanic Verses
Kigsley Amis - Lucky Jim
Ian McEwan - Solar
Vladimir Nabokov - Lolita
F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby
Milan Kundera - The Joke
Joseph Heller - Catch-22
George Orwell - Coming up For Air
George Orwell - 1984
And finally some undecided piece by Henry James perhaps.

Discuss....

Just finished Karl Marx by Francis Wheen , learnt so much about the man himself ,immaculate research and superbly written .

 

[XYZ123]

I mean to read Wheen's Karl Marx book. It received good reviews.

I've started getting back into reading fiction lately, because these last few years I've outgrown teen fiction and have been too busy studying. Now I'm starting Lord of the Rings, having just this week completed The Hobbit. A great book, written in an easier-to-read style than I anticipated.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Re-reading 'Just The One - The Wives And Times Of Jeffrey Bernard' by Graham Lord. Highly entertaining.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

anything I can download for free from http://www.gutenberg.org/

Alot of good stuff but loads of dreadful garbage as well.
