Just Finished: (2 books ago)
You guys (like 95% of tl) kept telling me it was good, so I finally broke down and read it. Freaking loved it, thanks guys. 
Currently (re)Reading:
Loved it in high school, curious to see if I still do, so far about half way through and enjoying it pretty well.
Next up: Not entirely sure, but most likely this:
because everybody at another forum I post at loved the crap out of it. Edit: And because it will help me reach my goal of reading at least 5 books by female authors this year. So far I haven't read one.

I usually stick to nonfiction with the majority of my reading surrounding philosophical essays, but my gf is a pretty big fan of fantasy shit and she gave me some books to read.
I just finished the Belgariad which is a five book series, and I've just started the Mallorean which is another five book series which is the sequel to the Belgariad. Have to admit I was expecting to hate them but I've found them rather entertaining.

1) One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - Ken Kesey
I love this book, and I believe most people do/would too. Amazing writing. I love how he writes in the perspective of chief.
2) Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut
Kind of an odd book, but I like how he weaves events together and the lack of organization. Makes for an interesting read.
3) East of Eden - John Steinbeck
I'm a big fan of Steinbeck (Of Mice and Men, Grapes of Wrath, the Pearl, Cannery Row), and I have heard East of Eden is one of his best. I suppose I will start in the summer o_o
Edit: @ Div, my friend read the same series and really liked it. Is it a straight forward fantasy or does it have more twists/interesting plot ideas?

can't find a cover
and not gonna lie I know this is uber gay but
I actually like romantic novels and yes I am strait, not to big on the vampires, also I figured I have to read this series since it plays a very large role in our culture atm =], its ok exciting and fast paced, but not a work of art

Was waiting for one of these. Resisted the urge to post a book like this and suggest that GTR read it.
Space[Fright] how was Dante's Inferno? I considered reading that a few years back.

I recommend it, its really interesting, I always love these medieval draconian things though so if you don't like it you might be lest interested. Its almost funny at some points and very cool.

Just Finished: Art of War by Sun Tzu
Although short it was a pretty good read, and its fun to interpret it SC wise while reading which Im sure most of you did.
Currently Reading:
<3 Marquez, his works are always fantastic and great and can be enjoyed by everyone.
This book is plain great, so clear and cohesive and written and presented in a straightforward manner with many nice examples and analogies by Feynman, truly an awesome guy.
What to Read? I do not really know, I have a crapload of books to read and just ordered some more. So we will see when they come. I have a lot of books to read on my mind, hopefully I can read a lot of them this summer.
