What book(s) are you reading now?

[MissAlice]

Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut. (As Seyorni suggested to me.)

That's a great book!

Another one I recommend is "Welcome to the Monkey House".

I'm reading Eclipse, the third Twilight book... :cover:

Edward is such a douche. Bella is an idiot. She only likes him because of his sexy vampire magical beautifulness. She's always angry with him, and then forgives him, because she cannot help it, because of his magical vampireness. He won't let her see her other friends. It's sickening. I want for Edward to stop being a ******* and to stop preventing Bella from visiting Jacob.

It's a really sad book when you look at it that way... She is under his vampire spell... so even though he is overprotective and possessive, she stays with him and ignores her other friends... WOWZA! Well, that actually sounds like every other girl who has a boyfriend, ignoring all of her other friends in favor of her new infatuation... I guess it's pretty realistic after all.

I just picked up Stephen Colbert's I Am America (And So Can You!) and The Good Sex Bible. Colbert's book is pretty funny so far, and I've learned a few things from the Sex Bible. One thing, I hope it's not inappropriate, but according to this book the smallest functioning penis "stands a proud 5/8 inches."

Is that like a mouse penis? Or a human penis? That would be pretty funny.

It's human. While I personally don't find it funny, I do admit I wonder how penetration, vaginally or anally, would be possible, if at all possible.

Just me, but if the heat I was packin' only amounted to 5/8 of an inch, I wouldn't be too quick to have that published as a world record.

Thankfully, I dwarf the newly-built Burj Khalifa. Then again, I do tend to exaggerate at times. Perhaps it's slightly inaccurate.

That's a very small penis.

On Hold - House of Leaves. I really liked parts of this book, but I had a really hard time getting through it. I might pick it back up after reading some other books I wanted to get through.

Currently Reading - Dexter by Design. This one is better than the third, but still seems inferior to the first and the second. Maybe the ending will boost it up. Want to get this finished, keep getting distracted reading D&D stuff for my campaign instead.

Up Next - Let the Right One In and Weaveworld. I've heard really good things about both of these books. Want to get started on them.

The People's History of America - Howard Zinn

 

[whereismynotecard]

I'm reading Peter Pan. Because I have to, for my pre-adolescent literature class. It's a lot like children's literature. In fact, I was supposed to have read Peter Pan last year, but I only read the first few chapters, because I hate it. Here's the books we are reading that I've already read or was supposed to read but didn't: Coraline, Little House on the Prarie, Holes, Harriet the Spy, Peter Pan. I actually read Coraline and Little House. I read some of the other three, but not all of them. Then there's a ton of other ones we'll read too.

American Power and the New Mandarins (Noam Chomsky)

I read Chomsky's Powers and Prospects: Reflections on Human Nature and the Social Order when I was still a soldier in the IDF, about 10 years ago. I'm usually opened to listen to his perspective, but I usually need to balance it with an alternative dose of realism.

I'm Reading: The Sword of Shannara Trilogy

Awesome series. I am working on buying the entire saga and have been reading them since high school.

I am reading this book by my senior design professor. It is required for our class but the majority of us were going to read it anyways.

Next I plan on reading his other book that is meant for a more general population.
