OT: What Are You Reading?

I’ve just discovered the Game of Thrones TV series. I think you guys are onto something up there^^^

A Storm of Swords-R. R. Martin

Re-reading Laurel K. Hamilton’s Skin Trade…though I’m not sure why other then hoping it might suck less the second time around.

Clearly a trend is forming here and I’m getting addicted to this show, that’s like 4 recommendations above. I guess Song of Ice and Fire is first? Its rumored Sean Bean is a snufftaker, we need him here. Currently reading: Stranger in a Strange Land - Heinlein Lord Hornblower - Forrester Comic series: DMZ Echo Northlanders Orchid Rachel Rising Scarlett Secret Secret Service Sergio Aragonés’ Funnies -and patiently awaiting the return of Groo

@Mr. Nose not a contuination on Wizards, just Roland telling his band another story; one from his childhood i have heard. I’am still waiting on my library to have it, due to all my disposible income earmarked for snuff.

The Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson…actually, re-reading it. And well worth the re-read, too.

 Was reading this thing I wrote. I hope someone else reads it too cause I’am very proud of it.

Just finished Pale Blue Dot by Carl Sagan.

The Inferno by Dante Alighieri

Currently finishing off “The Bible.”  I figured that despite not believing it, it was probably one of the more important books I could read.  After all, it’s only left its influence all over Western thought, culture, music, history and art.  Only have around another 200 pages left in it, then I can move on to something else.

Next book is probably going to be “The Basic Works of Aristotle.”  I picked up a couple of books by the same author @Sinister Topiary is reading, Slavoj Zizek, and while I enjoyed his writing when he was talking pop culture, his philosophy writings leave me totally lost due to my lack of proper vocabulary for it.  I decided I was going to start off with the old Greek and Roman philosophers, and try and work my way up through things.  I figure by the time I get up to contemporary philosophers, I should know the appropriate terms.

For competition, I suddenly got the urge to read “Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” yesterday, after playing some Dynasty Warriors 7.

@Vito445  Which version are you reading?  “The Divine Comedy” is one of my favorite books, but I felt like the footnotes in the Penguin edition made it a lot more enjoyable.  It was pretty fun reading about all the references he put in there to his political and theological enemies.

@shikitohno I am reading the Signet Classics version, is has quite extensive footnotes placed at the end of every chapter, can’t do without them, especially in a translation.

Footnotes are always helpful for stuff like that.  As I recall, the Penguin version in “The Portable Dante” just has them at the bottom of the page, which I find a lot more convenient.  A couple months ago, I finished reading a copy of “The Master and Margarita,” which had all the footnotes in one section at the back of the book.  Would drive me mad while I was reading it, but they made the book a lot more enjoyable.
