What book(s) are you reading now?

[Katzpur]

The Company of Liars. Sort of a take-off on Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. A really good read so far (35% into it).

 

[Quagmire]

Snuff by Terry Pratchett.

 

[Caladan]

Recovering from delving into dozens of books and articles about sacred classical landscapes, landscape archaeology, and ancient Greek religion.

Going to recover by jumping head first into the Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber!

 

[Falvlun]

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde.

Quite original and engaging.

This was such a fun concept! Loved it. The other books in the series are good too, but that first taste of it is the best.

 

[Falvlun]

Robert N. Bellah - Religion in Human Evolution from the Paleolithic to the Axial Age

Now that sounds like a page turner!

 

[Draka]

Dead to the World

 

[Draka]

Dead as a Doornail - Charlaine Harris

 

[Breathe]

Now that sounds like a page turner!

I like it; which says a lot about me...

 

[Infinitum]

Entrance exam books for linguistic studies and archaeology. :hearts:

 

[Gjallarhorn]

The Book of Sith

Surprisingly more engaging than The Jedi Path.

 

[Draka]

Definitely Dead - Charlaine Harris

Are we getting the theme yet?

 

[Caladan]

Entrance exam books for linguistic studies and archaeology. :hearts:

By Jupiter! that's great news! best of luck! I demand more details!

 

[Debater Slayer]

Alfiyat Ibn Malik, a thousand-verse poem explaining the entirety of Arabic grammar rules with examples of employing them, all done in rhyme.

The poem itself is one book, but its commentary comprises three books.

I'm reading a B level fantasy called the "Hickory Staff". Basically, two colorado guys fall through a magical portal put in a bank by an evil demon that has taken over this other world. They join a band of resistance fighters in the new world, and one of the Colorado guys acquires a magical hickory staff. *cue fantasy music*

It's not great but I'm too far into it to not find out how it ends.

 

[Katzpur]

"Pope Joan" -- for the second time. I read it the first time about five years ago and am re-reading it with a book club I belong to. Absolutely the best book I have ever read.

 

[SageTree]

"Personal Christianity" Jacob Boehme

 

[Caladan]

"Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic"
No, that's not actually reading for my work or studies, this is light reading for fun.

 

[Rakhel]

The Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien...again. First time read is a skim to catch the good parts. Second read is to catch what I missed the first time.

 

[StarryNightshade]

Mind and Cosmos: Why the Materialist Neo-Darwinian Conception of Nature Is Almost Certainly False by Thomas Nagel.

 

[Draka]
