What book are you currently reading?
The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
I love philosophy but I felt I had to learn more about business in order to create more time for my book list. Great content so far, a highly appraised best seller among book readers. Now it's your turn. What are you currently reading? |
Re: What book are you currently reading?
Armada by Ernest Cline. Well not really, I'm just saying I'm reading it since my sister got it for me for my birthday last month. I was gonna get it for her birthday but instead I got her Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call, which I've been playing a lot of lately.
Okay, so who's next? |
Re: What book are you currently reading?
Ghostman by Roger Hobbs, one of those books that's hard to put down because there is a plot twist at the end of every chapter, but it's really well written so far.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Jonatham Lethem's 'The Fortress of Solitude'. A beautifully written novel about a white kid growing up in a largely black and latino neighborhood. This book is suffused with music and comics references, good stuff.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
Despite being boring as hell and riddled with sexist and nouveu riche cliches had such good sentence, paragraph, and chapter structure that it was a good read. |
Re: What book are you currently reading?
Good timing with this thread. I am not much of a book reader until now. I am going to tell a story.
Just earlier, my family and I went to a book store because my sister's such a book lover, she always buys and reads books. So after my sister bought her book, my parents just added in and said to me to try to read books like her. So they let me pick out any book. Yeah, so why not read books for a change, I thought to myself. I saw this book called "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami. It really caught my eye because it's somehow Japanese-y. You know, because I like anime, Japan and such. Also the cover, I liked it. I then, looked at the back of the book and read the stuff written there and then yeah, I liked it. It had this anime kind of feel. I am about to read this book and embark on an adventure. I am hyped for this change. I am actually going to read a book. This is my first "book". This is my first time I am going to fully read a book and enjoy it. I wrote this on my phone, at a coffee shop. |
Re: What book are you currently reading?
I'm re-reading 'The Way of Kings' by Brandon Sanderson because I've been sitting on "Words of Radiance" the second book, for months and months. I read 'The Way of Kings' like 4 or 5 years ago, and being a 1200-page monstrosity of a book, could barely remember anything about the story so figured I ought to do a re-read.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
currently reading War and Peace by Ct. Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (or Leo Tolstoy if you're not from 17th century Russia)
it's a great read so far, ~100 pages in; lots of character development 10/10 would recommend if you can read it |

Re: What book are you currently reading?
"The Color of Magic" by Terry Pratchett. His Discworld series was recommended to me by a coworker after I asked about any good fantasy books and mentioned that I liked Douglas Adam's (à la The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series) humor. It's pretty funny so far and I like it. :)

Re: What book are you currently reading?
I am currently reading "Persuader" by Lee Child.
The Washington Post says it's a 'skillful blend of sex...spies...suspense and nonstopaction.' Los Angeles Times Book Review says "A page-turner...Child's tale drives hard and fast." The Denver Post says "Gripping and suspenseful... Child ratchets up the suspense to new heights." Orlando Sentinel says "Wickedly addictive...so fast-paced it makes the eyeballs spin." in reality the book is whack as fuk though |

Re: What book are you currently reading?
I currently have open in front of me "A Mathematical Introduction to Logic, Third Edition" by Herbert Enderton. It's a gripping read, really, for anyone who enjoys themes such as a rigorous proofs in the predicate calculus. The Compactness Theorem is my favorite character.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's set in mythic Saxon England, when the land was mostly wild and people could still encounter ogres or other dangerous creatures. It's set in a town where there's a kind of collective perpetual amnesia, where their memories are all fragmented and dreamlike and fade quickly over time. People rarely agree about what happened in the years or months or weeks past, when they speak about the past at all. The protagonists are an older couple about to embark on an important journey to their son's village, but they don't remember why it's important or how to get there.

The Giver, by Lois Lowry, I rated 5/5 stars. This book surprised me, I didn't expect it to be that good! It makes you be grateful for the life we have, the world we're living in

Re: What book are you currently reading?
I start reading Ulysses by Irish writer James Joyce. I tried to read this modernist novel several times already, but the maximum reached the third chapter. This is a personal challenge for me that I want to overcome. I use various commentaries on this novel that allow me to wade through a very complex modernist text. At the moment I am also in college and I have to do various homework assignments there. For the last few weeks, I have very big problems with math and it is difficult for me to concentrate on doing math homework, so I turn to the service https://assignmentbro.com/us/math-assignment-help for help, which helps me to professionally complete certain tasks. This allows me to focus on the subjects that I like the most, including foreign literature.
