I’m reading Orwell’s 1984 
Oooh, that’s such an awesome book! 
Unfortunately, I’m not reading anything at the moment… except for all these books about Borderline Personality Disorder (I’m doing a project about it at school, and it’s project week right now >_<). I’m so bored with it already…
Hah, no one has posted here since me… 
I’m reading one of the Dune books right now, but the problem is, it’s the second one (I think) - Dune: House Harkonnen. I haven’t read the first one… so I’m just wondering, if anyone has read the Dune books, is it necessary to read the first one before you read the second one?
Otherwise I guess I’ll go back to the library and borrow the first one instead.
The last book I’ve read was “The Conference of the Birds” by Farid Ud-din Attar.
Edition www.penguinclassics.com
white noise by don dedillo. funny book. very clever.
House Harkonnen is in this sort of “Prelude to Dune” set of novels, so they would prepare you well for Dune, I guess… I’m not sure, though - I haven’t read the prelude to Dune ones yet.
Your reply made me even more curious, Wnvoss, since I didn’t even know the books had prequels, so I went to the Wikipedia (I had no idea the Dune universe is so huge! 
), and then to amazon to check the reviews… and now I think it seems weird to read it because first of all, people say it’s not as good as the other books, and it’s written after all the other books…
Luckily, I picked up another book at the library, I’ll read that one instead until I go back to the library check out the other Dune books. It’s “The Telling”, by Ursula K LeGuin (my favorite author). 
Im reading the narnia books
Or , i just finished em last night.
They are so brilliant
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami.
Freeky good stuff.
Just finished Phillip Dick’s “Time Out of Joint”, Just started Discworld - love it already , and also currently reading Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” book 5 - it’s quite ponderous .
I bought that book some time ago, but I have to finnish reading “Howl’s Moving Castle” first.
Ithaka - Adele Geras
Really good hehe 
I’m reading “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. I normally don’t read books, but I have to read it in school.
Finished 2010: Odyssey Two last night.
Now I’m reading The Jesus Incident by the same guy who wrote Dune. It’s turning out pretty well (but then again, I’m only reading it while waiting for the 3rd Space Odyssey book).
Currently reading “Sahara” by Clive Cussler.
Something about love. I can’t remember what it’s called right now. I’ll edit this tomorrow or something. 
But it’s a good book. 
I am about 30 pages away from finishing “The gunslinger part one of the Dark Tower series” By Stephen king.
Thank you for making me want to buy it Mohegan!
My Current list:
The Forensic Casebook
The Idiot’s Guide to Private Investigating
How to Write a Mystery Novel
Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie
Kenneth - tell me how Sahara turns out. I never finished it because I was like 12 when I tried reading it…
And in my opinion, Agatha Christie > Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so far, mostly because Conan Doyle’s short stories consist mostly of someone telling what happened and why they’re hiring a PI…
Seems you want to write a police mystery novel, MatrixManNeo… 
I’m reading many books in the same time.
The Chronicles of Froissart : chronicles of the Hundred Years’ War, written by a monk around 1370…and it’s of course in old french. Some passages and anecdotes are very funny in my eyes, especially an incredible war between Edward III and the Scots, and it gives a good idea ot the Middle Age way of thinking.
The Limits of Interpretation, by Umberto Eco. Rather complicated, it’s about semiotics. He’s trying to bring back this fuzzy science to some common sense, especially after the big mess that has been put in it by some french “professional confusionists” like Derrida or Genette. 
The Elegies of Duino, by R.M. Rilke. Poetry. Just beautiful.
And I’ve recently read Moonfleet, by J.M. Falkner. It’s a lot darker than Fritz Lang’s adaptation (my favourite movie) but it’s a great novel about smugglers in the XVIII century, and a mysterious cursed treasure…
Edgar Allen Poe - The Fall of the House of Usher and Other Writings
I’ve only read a couple of stories and poems so far and i’m finding the old style of language difficult.
I did really like ‘The City In The Sea’ poem. As i was reading it, i started to visualise all the detail. It’s very descriptive.
