You know the drill. And I don't mean right now, of course. That would be patently insane.

Anyway, my current bookity read is 2010: Odyssey Two, by Arthur C. Clarke. So far, so good!

Pure tedium.

Right now, Remote Sensing Digital Image Processing by John A. Richards and Xiuping Jia

I'm doing satellite homework. This book is horrible, as it doesn't tell you how to do anything, just to do it.. It's really stupid. To make matters worse, I gave the UAH bookstore $75 for it. GUH!

Currently re-reading Insomnia by Stephen King.

I've been all out of good authors to read lately. Any suggestions, peoples?

StrongRad: That sounds like the most fascinating book of all time.

Man, I'm glad I'm not going into science too heavily in college...history, law, here I come. :mrgreen:

Oh, man. You get to read The Westing Game for school? That easily rated on my Top Ten Favorite Books Ever list.

Lucky punk.

I guess I'm reading Eldest now. Reading in the sense of "on average, a word a week".

A paperback edition of the Encyclopedia for Homestar Runner Wiki Forum Addicts. Err... wait, let's start over. :p

Actually, some random Belle And Sebastian biography. When I first started reading it, I went straight to the chapter about The Boy With The Arab Strap, which I believe to be their best album, and it's also one of my all-time favorites. So naturally I was disappointed to find the author and several band members themselves dissing quite a large percentage of it from the getgo. Arrgh. It's a pretty good read so far other than that, though.

Is it acceptable to read the same book eight times? I'm reading Louis L'Amour's The Haunted Mesa for the eigth time now.

I've also started Faulkner's The Mansion.

Some of my friends in Law School would argue with you on that.. Too much to remember in those fields.. All they ever do is read. At least I have some free time, not much, but I do have SOME.

A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge. Some of the best sci-fi I've ever read, and not quite as "hard" as A Deepness in the Sky.

I'm Re-Reading All the Lord of the rings books. I thought they might be better after seeing the movies too. Except for that stupid "riders of rohan" chapter. That thing is the most boring chapter in any book, ever made.

Yeh, i definitly want to read those again. (Has anybody else noticed that the first book is the most exciting, but the first movie is the most boring of the three?)

I'm reading "War. The Lethal Custom" by Gwynne Dyer. for some reason.

I just got done reading A Light in the Storm by Chris Heimerdinger. I'm gonna start reading Eragon as soon as I can. I've heard it's good.

Right now I'm re-reading Milkweed, by Jerry Spinelli. I need to know if anyone else has ever read it, because it's so unbelievably freaking awesome.

The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. I wasn't expecting three fourths of the book to be exposition.

So do I! It's my favorite series. I just finished reading the series up to Rakkety Tam a while ago. Then I read the 12th book in A Series of Unfortionate Events. Now I'm reading a biography of Einstein for school. I like reading.
