What Books Are You Reading Right Now?

I just read Soldier of an Empire Unacquainted with Defeat by Glen Cook. Not only is it really quite good, I was also amazed of the many similarities it has with the Witcher stories The Lesser Evil and The Edge of the World. Sapkowskis stories develop into quite different direction, but many of the locations and the cast of characters are remarkably similar. And I would even bet that Cooks character Tain was one of the big inspirations for Geralt.

Traveling longer who is really good with his two swords and also has some basic magic spells, can sense nearby sources of magic and dabbles in medicine?

Finished 1984 a couple of hours ago. Real depressing book, that one.

For what 1984 was I really liked it. Depressing, sure, but I really did like the book. We had to read it in my senior year in high school and most of the class hated it. I finished it two weeks early. I reread it before the rest of the class was done.

I suppose I really like an Immutable Crapsack world when it comes down to it, they tend to be some of my favorite type of novels, even when characters try to do good and it goes horribly wrong.

Good book, I recommend it to people who havent read it.

Book is great. I read the book while I was sick. Due to fever induced dreams I of course visited Room 101. It wasn't as horrible as I would have expected. Safe to say book left quite an impact.

Folks:

The second thread for book-reading has been up for over a week now.

Please post your current reading in the second thread.

Well, last year after the last season of Game Of Thrones ended I finally got myself to read the books, since I got way into the series and needed more.
So, 6 months later I'm currently halfway through the fourth book (I got stuck a long time with the second one, I found it a bit boring and dull for my taste).
I've also read (in between the A Song Of ice And Fire books) some H.P. Lovecraft novels and a few AD&D books (I don't know if the D&D ones count in this case )

As already said, now we have a new thread.

BTW, if you're reading ASOIAF, SaintRidley has a thread on it. He's currently at the end of A Clash of Kings.

Sorry, I did not see that, I'll repost it there.
Again, sorry
