Aside from the books on Go and chess I've been looking at, I've started reading "The New Jim Crow" by Michelle Alexander.
What are you reading right now?

Maybe King will do a continuation where things are a bit different and he writes himself out of books 6 and 7 and it can actually conclude.

I need to start reading Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers. My mother gave it to me when I was a kid but I never ended up reading it.

Currently reading the Watchmen.(Finally)
I love horror. One mt faves that not many people have heard of is Grimm Memorials. Its sequel Grimm Reapings wasn't nearly as good, but was readable. WARNING! It's very very graphic when it comes to gore and sex.

Currently reading "The Humanoids" by Jack Williamson but I'm not really getting into it. Same thing with the other book I'm reading, "The Blood of Asaheim" by Chris Wraight. Might shelve on, put one on hiatus, and start reading something else and hope it grabs my interest more...

Today while browsing the bookstore I found a neat book called "Early Irish Myths and Legends". I'm a sucker for Celtic Mythology and it was pretty cheap, so I bought it.

Okay, I ended up finding my next book and it's something a little different. Violence: A Writer's Guide by Rory Miller. Highly readable in it's own right, but if you do creative writing like I do, it may very well open your eyes to a lot of different things. As an ebook, it also contains some links to some very disturbing shit.

i'm re-reading "Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea" by Steven Callahan. It's probably one of the most engrossing true tales of survival you can read. In 1981, this guy's boat sank in the Atlantic ocean, and he spent over two and a half months on an inflatable rubber raft. The most amazing part is
The shit he went through just to stay afloat, alive and lucid boggles the mind.
that nobody rescued him. He actually rode that fucker all the way to an island in the Caribbean.

So I'm reading the new Stephan King book Doctor Sleep. It's okay, but I'm at one of those points were I know what's going to happen, but I really, really don't want it to happen.
I also I feel like such a bad person for rooting for the bad guys in this story. But I can't help it, they're so cool.

In my ever ongoing process of "book hoarding" (having an eBook makes it so much better), I downloaded this fantasy series about Dwarves written by German author Markus Heitz. I like the fantasy concept of dwarves so I read the first few chapters of the first book (titled simply "The Dwarves") Pretty good writing, so I'm keeping it in my collection for later.

I've read that series, it's not bad. Also wasn't exceptionally good IIRC, but it was fun to read books not focussibg on Humans or Elves for once.

I've been reading "Of Gods and Generals," which I picked up in quality paperback for a few dimes from our local thrift store. It's much better than the movie, of which I had the misfortune of sitting through so I could write an essay so that I could get extra credit for my military history class back in 2003.

I'm currently reading Valley of the Dolls, and when that's done, I'll dive into the Flann O'Brien omnibus I got for Christmas.
