Am about 100 pages into 'Infidel', by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Pretty inspiring so far.

Twilight - Stephanie Myer ...

I've read it too..

Horrible, but if it gets kids stuck into reading, I applaud Stephenie Meyer.

I've only read snippets of it, but she doesn't pull any punches, does she?

The Catcher in the Rye, J.D Salinger

I read that a few weeks ago and damn it is a good read.

i read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton as a supplementry to Catcher in The Rye. I'd recomend it if you can get your hands on it...it wasnt bad.


But now I'm reading Michael Ondaatje's In The Skin of A Lion for the 3rd time. It's near impossible to follow

Martin Amis The Information.

Not his best, but still comprised of his usual mix of smarmy pretentiousness and quite clever/funny. Much prefer his angry father, Hitchens or Larkin...

Have been reading the Wheel of Time for over a year now (some 13 months)...

Up to book 8 of 11 (hopefully 12 will be out by the time I'm done with 11).

Doug Walters biography written by his old teammate Ashley Mallet. Boring as batshit.

Re: The "What are you reading now" thread

The last few I've read were "Breath" by Tim Winton (good but far from his best IMO) and "Enduring Love" by Ian McEwan. (REALLY good).

I'm now reading the 2007 Booker Prize winner, "The Gathering" by Anne Enright. While it's enjoyable, it proves to me that sometimes Award winners aren't all they're cracked up to be. Just my view.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.

About a quarter of the way through and it is a good read.
