what book are you reading?

perhaps this can be a place where we can start a little book club and share our passion for the literature we like.
maybe give an insight into what the book you are reading is about and encourage others to go out and read the book ourselves.

i am reading Asimov's I, Robot which is nothing like the film of the same name.

so what book are you reading?

I'm reading Fahrenheit 451, and Ender's Game

:S

HUMOUROUSLY I am reading Lester's book.

Jealous-o?

Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

Stephen King- Lisey's Story

Tom Sawyer.

Against my will. ;_;

Rik Mayall- Bigger Than Hitler, Better Than Christ

Very funny book.

Dave Grohl Nothing To Lose. By Michael Heatley.

how about a brief discription from some of you on what the book is about,so it may inspire others to pick up a copy and read it for themselves?

lets enlighten the masses dears :-]

'cries' I have no time for books at the moment! Damn! I haven't finished Hannibal sous les remparts de Rome by Patrick Girard... the next one will be Hamilcar, les buchers de Megara by the same author. It is a pretty good trilogy, the first being Hamilcar, le lion des sables, a bit commercial I would say, therefore with a simplistic language, but here the historical facts matter. I also recommend, for the history lovers, Nero by Edward Champlin and Trajan by Julian Bennett. :)

Edit: the last part of the trilogy is Hasdrubal!

Tom Sawyer is excellent. I read it again to my son a year ago (I previously read it 30 years ago I reckon) Did Becky play "high spy" with Tom yet? Oh maybe that was Huck Finn. Make sure you remember Tom Sawyer when you finish reading it. You wouldn't want to whitewash it from your memory.

Anyway, I am halfway through Lester's book right now.

The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker

It's all about trusting your instinct - like when someone makes you feel uncomfortable despite how polite/pleasant they're acting. Go with your gut. The book is filled with anecdotes about people who should have trusted the nagging voice inside of them that said something wasn't right with a situation. It's about people who after-the-fact ask if there was something they could have done before they were assaulted or whatever to prevent the attack from occurring.

It seems there is almost always something that can be done - if only you pay attention to your gut.

I'm not giving the book justice here. It's empowering, not frightening... though some of the stories are quite sad and it contains a lot of "if only's". Still, IMO, it's a book worth reading.

I'm reading Chapterhouse:DUNE by Frank herbert and the last one I read I also highly recommend,The Santaroga Barrier.

I just got finished with a book today! :D It's called 'A Tree Grows In Brooklyn'. It was about a girl growing up in the early 1900s. It was real good, but it was kind of sad. I liked it a whole lot! :D
