What Are You Reading - February 2012

[Michael, Mod Prometheus]

Jump on the bandwagon

[Aoibhínn]

I've started reading Songs Of The Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult.

[Kim]

Currently reading Star Wars: Dark Lord: The Rise Of Darth Vader, the direct sequel to Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (spoiler: Anakin is still a whiny emo as a Sith Lord), and also reading Walking The Amazon: 860 Days, The Impossible Task, The Incredible Journey.

[Samantha]

I am currently reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

[Kim]

I'm now reading another MMO related book, For The Win. It's pretty good so far.

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading Songs Of The Humpback Whale last night and it was awful. Today I've started reading All We Know of Heaven by Jacquelyn Mitchard.

One of my favorite books. I'll have to go back and reread this, maybe in the summer when I have time.
Hope you like it.

As good as Ready Player One?

I'd say yes but they're very different styles. Ready Player One is more about the game, For The Win is more about the mechanics of gold-farming as well as cheap labour and a lot of economics.

Sounds like Reamde, but not so big

[Kim]

I kept getting the two confused at first from reading the blurbs.

[Janice]

I am currently reading The Great Gatsby! I must say that I enjoy it a lot!

[Marlene]

Hey, Janice! You seem to have the same habbit as me (namely: checjing on Goodreads as soon as you get home) :D ;)

I'm still at Light in August, but at least I finished almost all the books I wanted to read in february.

[Sonali]

Re-read Ted Hugh's Alcestis, finished it yesterday.

[Kim]

I finished For The Win. Might get started on A Crown Imperiled.

[Melki]

For someone who said he wasn't going to read much this year, you're doing an awful LOT of reading.

[Aoibhínn]

I've just began reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King today.

[Kim]

Have started on the non-fiction drug/crime/prison bookumentary Marching Powder: A True Story of Friendship, Cocaine, and South America's Strangest Jail and the next in my Star Wars books, Death Star.

[Janice]

Reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell right now. It is catching and I like the style of writing. Also reading Zwischen den Fronten.

[Annapurna]

I'm halfway through Philip K Dick's Time out of Joint, and starting Christopher Isherwood's A Single Man.
