Please no idiotic replies like, "ur post lul" or "dis tred lal". And also, please no pathetic attempts at being funny by posting exactly what I said not to post. Thanks.
Anyway, I'm reading
The Yellow Dog by Georges Simenon. It's pretty decent, but translated from French, so it's lost some of it's genuinity. It's a murder mystery set in a small town.

I just finished reading Ragtime by E. L. Doctorow.
It was good, it had some cool characters, and a climatic ending.

Another graphic novel by Daniel Clowes. He's a great guy, best known probably for "Ghost World" (I think) which got turned into a movie.
If you're going to his comics, though, I'd especially recommend Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron. It's surreal, epic, and masterful!

I'm about half-way through The Eye in the Triangle, an interpretation of Aleister Crowley by Israel Regardie. Good stuff. It's pretty much a biography with a lot of Golden Dawn related content; rituals, grades, history of their schisms and the like. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in mysticism, secret societies, psychology, or occult studies.

Abraham Lincoln:
His Speeches and Writings
About 800 pages of speeches, essays, personal letters, and poetry.
The writing is consistently amazing - his metaphors powerful and smoothly fit inside speeches given to even the stuffiest sort of audiences - his humor sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking - and throughout, he shows his gift for taking an endlessly complex situation and describing it in such simple, heartfelt terms that his position becomes nearly irresistible.
<3 Lincoln

I won't give away anything as I recommend it to everyone, but the ending made me cry. Seriously this is a must read book. On another note, re-reading Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix as the movie is coming out soon.. ish.
Red Storm Rising By Tom Clancy I am reading as well, I started getting into it but read all these library books and totally forgot the plot. Nineteen Eighty-Four By George Orwell is another one I'm reading, finding it to be an excellent read, I can't describe it but everyone should read it and Animal Farm as well, they are great books.
Temple By Matthew Reilly, you Americans might not of heard of him but he writes excellent page turners, I have to read them at least twice as I am always rushing to get to the end, I just want my heart to stop racing.

Now i'm reading The Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson. I have quite a lot of his books, despite not really liking him or his writing style very much. You can tell the parts of his tales that are true from the parts that he exaggerated. The reason I keep reading his books is because he is invariably funny and insightful. They are easygoing books.

I would recommend this to any clocks who are considering a career in filmmaking, because producing is a role I had never really considered or understood before, but now it sounds quite fun and rewarding.

It's a funny thing that amidst all the very big things happening in HPatDH, there's almost nothing like "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE" you can really use to spoil the book for people. What can you say, "Harry DOESN'T die"? "He gets married and lives happily ever after"? "Mad-eye Moody/ Dobby/ Colin Creevy dies"?

Anyhow I'm reading Karl Menninger's Man Against Himself and I'm quite fond of it. It deals with suicide and other self-afflicted problems man has had. It's not a novel, but a scientific investigation. Still very interesting.
Also Dante's Divine Comedy, which is turning out to be a very difficult read because the whole book is a vast intertwinement of symbolism and very tough to follow.

I just finished Cell by Stephen King yesterday. It's kind of strange hearing him talking about iPods and cell phones and shit when most of the stuff he does is set in the seventies but you can still tell it's him.
How was it? Is it worth dropping like $30 on the hardcover or should I wait until it comes out in paperback? My only fear is that someone is going to spoil the book for me before I can get a copy which I absolutely don't want to happen.

I thought it was pretty good. The author obviously went out of his way to tie up every loose end from the entire series. It was pretty much more of what you've come to expect from the rest of the sword of truth series. I bought the hardback knowing that I have a few friends that'll want to borrow it now that I'm finished with it.

Was it as high quality as Wizard's First Rule? The only books that I'd say that have really compared to it are Stone of Tears and the two most recent ones.

since my last post in this tread, books 1-7 of the wheel of time by robert jordan
It's definatley worth it. One of the best books ever IMO, and the series was ripped off by the matrix.

I recently read that, it was way better than the movie (and the movie is really good.)
I have been reading Moby Dick. Most of it is amazing except when he goes of on tangents for way too long.

Right now I'm reading The Calculus Wars by Jason Bardi. It's about Newton and Leibniz and their arguments over which one deserves the right to claim that they invented calculus. Though the writing style leaves something to be desired, the story's great.

I was hiding in the public library whilst shirking some of my responsibilities, when this book called to me from the shelf.
Having a few hours to go before the time in which I'd regularly arrive at my next appointed stop after the aforementioned shirked responsibilities, I decided to kill time by reading it.
It's very unsettling.
All kinds of horrible things we see occur in the book are done by characters that are so human, so real, that it took me well out of my comfort zone.
I think anybody who's ever slacked off could see shadows of themselves in the main character's actions, where a minor, harmless crime cascades into an ultimately self-destructive wave of mutilation. I realized, with a start, near the middle of the book, that he'd murdered almost every other character in the story.
It probably didn't help that I was in the middle of a much lamer cascade into possibly failing Trig at the time. (I am now failing Trig btw. Cautionary tale noted and ignored forthwith, I guess.)

"The Convictions of Leonard McKinley" by Brendan McLeod. It was the 2006 winner of the 3-Day Novel Contest, which I entered this year.
It's pretty weird. It's a bildungsroman kind of book about a guy that applies piety to God in everything he does, which dictates his behaviour in odd ways.

Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky.
It's just what it sounds like: a history of salt. It really is much more interesting than it sounds, at least if you're a history nerd like myself. For instance: the Latin word for salt, sal, is the root of the word salary as more a time Roman soldiers were paid in salt, and is also the root of the French word salaire, to pay, which is where the English word soldier comes from.

Though I got a bunch of hard-bound classics the other day. Dostoyevsky's The Idiot and Crime and Punishment, Gulliver's Travels, Don Quixote, The Republic... should be enjoyable. :)

Finished Slaughterhouse 5 last week and now I'm halfway through A Scanner Darkly by Phillip K Dick.
Both excellent but I regret seeing the film of A Scanner Darkly before reading the book.

Dude I admit I liked Clive Cussler when I was a kid but you have to admit his books are just horribly contrived pieces of cliche with 1d characters that serve only to stroke his own ego (DIRK PITT that womanizing baddie-killing sex machine, is basically Clive himself only if he was cool). It's basically the equivalent of a shallow action film in book form.

Quote from: TreeClock;772599"Story Structure Architect" - I forget who wrote it, it's not right in front of me. But it's a great book for writers.
that book is amazing, i've read it several times over... but it's not really one of those books that you read cover to cover once you finish it once.
I just finished "And Then There Were None" or "Ten Little Indians" for the second time, so much stuff i didn't catch reading the second time around. It was amazing.

It's pretty decent, but it's gotten pretty blah at about the 3/4 mark; things are working out way too well for everybody :p. Besides that, its fantasy is a little conventional; I want to fill my head with all sorts of wacky invention to psych me up for July.
