What are you reading right now?

I just bought this....


Tokyo Underground

I'll be reading this in-between my classes; waiting is boring.

 

Something I learn from the book above is that in postwar Japan the criminal system believes that you are guilty until proven innocent, otherwise why would the police arrest you, they can keep you in jail for 23 days. That's something very inverse from a western point of view.

What I'm reading right now is this,


The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, is a freakingly thick tome, it has 1200 pages.

This will take long!

 

I am reading and awesome book titled "a Street Car Named Desire" and Shakespheres "Richard The Third", how can anyone not love that book it is a classic and so interesting lol

Spoiler

Even though Richard the third is so... something...

 

Right now I'm reading "360 Degrees Leader" by John Maxwell. Recommended !!

 

I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, so right now, I'm reading "Thud!". Ankh-Morpork City Watch is there, so it's a really enjoyable book.

 

The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz.
very good read for someone like me,
I never take my life seriously and having low-esteem is like a curse to me..

 

I read that recently too, good book.

Currently I'm reading this, its a fascinating book about the how music is recorded, past and present

 

I reading Star Wars: Rebel Dream from the New Jedi Order series.

 

World War Z - Max Brooks

Never gets old

 

Just Reading some encyclopedia about Nature

 

Crying love from the center of the world... yes the book that the movie and drama was based on.

 

I finished Embassytown a few days ago.
It is an amazing book. I am not sure how to describe it. In genre, it's a little bit sci-fi, but it also deals with linguistics. It is full of drama, intrigue and complex metaphor. There are a lot of ideas and thoughts in the book which are advanced and high-concept, but I didn't find it a difficult read. Rather, it was quite gripping and interesting.

I would definitely give this book a go if you are interested in sci-fi themes or linguistics. I know that's a strange combination but it's a very strange book with a strange setting.

 

just finished reading this book...

 

Just finished this.

oh I read the tetralogy a long time ago lol exaggerating. have you watch the movie based on the first book? I wonder if they're gonna make the second movie or no. but I guess it'd end up like Eragon/Inkheart/The Golden Compass movies

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I have just read the Tunnel and Deepers series... TT__________TT I hope Freefall is still on sale in Gramedia...

 

ah I've read it but only books 1 and 2, could not find a sequel even after trying to order... about the film is very good in my opinion though fairly short time and a different plot with the original novel... but I still expect a sequel of the movie with more time and more adventure [blush]

 

for better wallet condition, there's Mizan bookfair online, get freefall and closer for only IDR 20k/each

Spoiler

it's soooo tempting to buy the books on the list
