I'm re-reading The Beach by Alex Garland. One of my favourites, I read it a couple of times a year.

I also started reading The Memoirs of Cleopatra which I picked up at a book fair, but I can't get past the first chapter simply because the seven year old Cleopatra and another child speak like adults and it's completely throwing me off.

BlueDimity · Sep 6, 2009

I am reading To Kill A mocking Bird by Harper Lee.

DragonHeart · Sep 7, 2009

I'm reading Furies of Calderon. Not bad but so far it's been a touch too predictable to me.

childeroland · Sep 7, 2009

The last Harry Potter book and The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970.

cptwentworth · Sep 7, 2009

Just finished Sunshine by Robin McKinley and Darcy's Passions by Regina Jeffers. I'm on a reading kick lately (then I don't have to write!).

Spring Snow by Yukio Mishima. He committed ritual seppuku shortly after completing his last book. After reading his turgid love story, I'm not surprised.

Diana W. · Sep 8, 2009

I just started Riders of Judgement by Ralph Compton a pretty decent Western so far.

Diana Hignutt · Sep 8, 2009

I just finished Watchmen by Alan Moore, and I think it has altered the very course of my life. Okay, maybe not, but I'm looking at the world differently now. Powerful.

stormie · Sep 8, 2009

Just starting to read Stephen King's collection of stories called Everything's Eventual.

Haha, that's been on my reading pile for months now - but every time I pick it up I get scared away by how legendary/intellectual it is. Are you enjoying it?

As for me, I'm reading 'Salem's Lot' by Stephen King, 'Graceling' by Kristin Cashore and 'Thirteen Moons' by Charles Frazier. Whoo.

stormie · Sep 8, 2009

S.J., don't get scared of To Kill A Mockingbird. It's truly a great book.

MGraybosch · Sep 8, 2009

Last night I read a translation of Julius Caesar's The Conquest of Gaul. Not sure what I'll read tonight, but I've got an 1894 edition of William Hazlett's Life of Napoleon Bonaparte in three volumes sitting on my shelf.

Kathleen42 · Sep 8, 2009

Just finished (and quite enjoyed) I'm Perfect, You're Doomed: Tales from a Jehovah's Witness Upbringing by Kyria Abrahams.
