Re: What are you reading?
A second thumbs-up for Blank Slate from me.
Too bad about Moby Duck - I saw it at the bookstore and thought the topic was fascinating, but hadn't actually read it yet.

Re: What are you reading?
I'm currently reading 'You Only Live Twice' you can see a lot of 'Skyfall' in it.

Re: What are you reading?
Over the past month and a halfish I've read:
Looking For Alaska By John Green - Great book
Catcher In The Rye By J.D. Salinger - Nothing spectaular imo, felt like a character exploration exercise that got way out of hand.
A couple different non-fics about the french resistance in WW2.
Relistened to the Stephen Fry audiobook of Order of The Phoenix
And I'm currently starting to re-read the Otherland series by Tad Williams, and also reading a non-fic about the anti-nazi resistance movements in Germany during WW2.

Re: What are you reading?
Finished reading Ender's Game a few nights ago, I liked it quite a bit. Has anyone read any of the other book sin the series? Right now I'm reading Cat's Cradle, which I'm also enjoying quite a bit.

Re: What are you reading?
I read the rest of the Ender series and at least some of the Shadow series. Speaker for the Dead et. al. are not much like Ender's Game, but I recall liking them and being impressed by the ending of Xenocide. The Shadow series was more like Ender's Game, but I didn't like how it reimagined some of the events. Also when I noticed that OSC is a homophobic asshat it kind of turned me off reading his books.
Cat's Cradle traumatized teenaged me and I've been meaning to read Slaughterhouse Five for years.
Most recently I read The Great Gatsby. As with when I read 1984 and Brave New World, I felt like it was written for a different time and that a lot of the 'edgy' ideas are things I don't find revolutionary now.
Re: What are you reading?
Just finished Cat's Cradle. Definitely the best book I've ever read (Not too many, but still). I think I'm gonna have a go at Vonnegut's other works once my finals are over.

Re: What are you reading?
Finally started on A Dance with Dragons.
I'm only few chapters in but I'm enjoying it a lot. Not nearly as disjointed as A Feast for Crows.

Re: What are you reading?
Finished A Dance with Dragons today. Much better than A Feast for Crows. I would say George R.R. Martin is back to form. No spoilers but there are some bat shit insane left turns waiting for you if you are reading the series.
Looking for the next book to read... any suggestions?
