What are you reading now?

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Just finished reading 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald and have dug straight into 'The Diamond As Big As The Ritz And Other Short Stories' by the same author. Don't know why I put off reading Gatsby for so long as it is truly superb.

I haven't read Gatsby. That short story collection is great though.

Reading 'The History of Danish Dreams' by Hoeg at the moment. I loved 'Miss Smila's Feeling for Snow' so I thought I'd give this a try.

Just finished The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart (George Cockcroft). Starts off really well, with a vastly interesting premise, but kind of fizzles out in the last 100 pages. Still, I'd recommend it.

Currently reading Louis Theroux - Call Of The Weird. Basically, Louis goes back to the US and revisits several of the subjects of his documentaries but without a camera crew in tow. Truly interesting stuff, much more personal than the TV shows, and totally addictive reading - I can't wait to get back to it.

Seany, you read Jericho's book? Joint best wrestling book I've read that, along with Foley's first. Bret Hart's is supposed to be superb as well. I used to be a massive fan of his, right up until the Montreal screwjob.

Currently reading Sex, Lies and Headlocks. A kind of history of pro wrestling since the start of the NWA, with a heavy focus on McMahon and the scandal that follows him. Very, very good and I've even found out a few things that I did not previously know. Definately a keeper, and a great reference book for wrestling geeks like me!

I really want all three of those.

Another good one which I re-read recently: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wrestling-Si...3019753&sr=8-3

Just started reading Devil May Care, the new Bond novel by Sebastian Faulks which is a real change from what I normally read, especially as it's set in the Sixties.

Just started reading Shogun by James Clavell

[Jamie John]

I'm three quarters of the way through Stephen King's Wolves of the Calla, volume 5 of the Dark Tower series. The books have come a long way since the stylistic cool of the first volume, Gunslinger, and although Eddie gets on my nerves a lot, they're still very good to read and astoundingly immersive. The sense of scale and the sensuous imagery of his description makes for a notably vicarious read, and the main character, Roland, is brilliant. Highly recommended to all fantasy fans.

My favourite series of books ever (But then I am a Stephen King fan in general). I remember reading the Gunslinger and really enjoying it... but it was the prologue in that book that blew me away.

When it takes only a few hours to read it's sometimes easy to forget how much time and effort goes into writing a book. To learn that he'd been working on this series pretty much since he started writing amazed me.

Still beavering away on To Kill a Mocking Bird. Enjoying it for the moment, even if it's currently little more than an eye opener on what life was* like in the deep south in the early-ish twentieth century.

* - assumption on my part. It could all be b****cks of course.

[Anpanman]

Just about to start Microtrends by Mark Penn not something I would normally buy but got it as a freebie from a website I joined to get free stuff.

[JazzFunk]

Gonna start reading Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut when I get into bed tonight. I've never read any Vonnegut before, but the people I know who have rave intensely about his stuff.

Wizard And Glass is still my favorite of the Dark Tower books, but Wolves is great too.

Have you been reading the Marvel comic series being made for the Dark Tower? It is incredible.

I'm reading 'The Spear' by James Herbert. It's gone **** though 2/3s through so I might f**k it off and start 'The Rats' trilogy by the same author.

[Number45]

I really like James Herbert. I recommend '48 if you want something a little different (From his more recent stuff anyway) - it's like an action horror, the pace is relentless.

Seconded - It's a nice little read.

I'm now going back through my Ninjutsu books by Hatsumi Sensei in preparation for the new 'bible' on ninj.

[The Glider]

Just started reading Hollywood Crows by Joseph Wambaugh & it's proving to be an entertaining read so far
