Watcha reading??

[MrFun]

What book (non-fiction or fiction) are you in the middle of reading right now?

I am in the middle of reading the non-fiction book titled, "Look Away!: A History of the Confederate States of America" by William C. Davis.

Oh, and for those who do not read anymore, books are those things with sheets of paper between two covers.

I just started reading Malcom X. It's pretty interesting.

Yeah, but so are cigarette papers ("Rizla" or "Skins").

As for what book, I'm halfway through a text book on Object Oriented Programming. Not exactly inspiring stuff.

Americans know what books are

me:

Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull - Thomas Mann

Bush at War - Bob Woodward

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency is the only book I'm reading with any serious interest. Shoulda read it years before, but I don't read when I'm depressed, and I used to be very depressed.

Very funny stuff. The book that is.

Hobsbawm, Age of Extremes. I figure it's all right for a history book

Strange, it's the other way around for me and I've been reading loads recently

What is it about, exactly?

[Bereta_Eder]

The Apology of an Anti-Hellene

it's an assortment of articles by a guy who has a very sharp (and critical) way of viewing greek society and politics. i like him a lot.

"apology" is in the ironic sense socratic - like.

This is not a form of Entertainment that I enjoy too much, since it is not participent, much like television. However, I soon plan to read 1984 after being told it is good.

[Harovan]

Hašek's "The adventures of the brave soldier Švejk". May be the 5th time, or even more.

Eco's "Baudolino". The second time.

Both books, depending on my mood. I haven't much time to read, anyway.

I'm working through most of the Terry Pratchett books that I missed when they were first published. Pretty light stuff just to keep me amused during my lunch break.

Basically I'm just warming up for the 48-hour Harry Potter marathon when the 5th book is released in a couple of weeks and I read the whole thing from cover to cover without putting it down.
