Well, inspired by my impending meeting with its author, I started on this:

Fabulous stuff....you read yours yet, MG?

Have it on my nightstand - still working on it ... I read little bits of it every now and then.
Some day I may learn to concentrate on one book at a time.

right now I'm reading a swedish book by two TV-show hosts, about what it was like for people born in the 70s to grow up in Sweden. it's awsome and extremely funny.

I recommend it to anyone on the forum born in the 70s and can understand Swedish.

Great choice, MG! :D

I'm sort of switching between two.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

My TBR pile has taken over my book shelf, which is bad because the pile consists of books belonging to one of my friends. Seeing that I've had some of her books for over a year, she's not too happy with me, but really, it's her own fault for giving them to me by the bag-full...

This past week I finished reading The DaVinci Code but haven't started a new book yet since I started knitting again. I either read or I knit. Perhaps I should consider getting some audio books so that I can listen while I knit. But then I'd have to quit watching TV which is what I normally do while reading/knitting. Hmmm ... such decisions to be made - maybe I'll just go to bed instead.

For want of being on topic, I also re-read SLATFATF the other day for the first time in ages. I'd forgotten how much I like some of it (and not others).

My wfie is reading "The Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffler (or something like that) and I've picked it up and read a few bits (it really annoys her) - so I might try that next.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger - that's the book I was thinking of buying to read next, but I can't really justify buying a new book when there are so many stacks about the house that I've never touched. Maybe I'll finally start Dava Sobel's Longitude instead.
We'll see.
But first I've got to finish knitting these tiny little hats.

The Science of Discworld by Terry Pratchet, Ian Stewart & Jack Cohen. And In The Beginning, There Was The Command Line... by Neal Stephenson.

I see we have quite a few pterry fans. :)

I've never read DSOTS but I've read every Discworld book up to Wee Free Men, which is my current favorite as it seems to have some of the spirit of the earlier books such as Moving Pictures and Guards! Guards!, and I have every book up to Hat Full of Sky. I've also read Good Omens and Strata.

My Discworld book collection shows what a sad, mad twisted individual I am.

I have a mixed views on PTerry.
I like the Johnny Maxwell ones but not the Truckers/Diggers and the like.

I liked Colour of Magic and the one after it and most of the other Rincewind ones, the Death ones and the Hero ones but I didn't like the witches and the guards as much.
Haven't read any of the more recent ones apart from the kids one about the rats which was OK but nothing special.
Liked Good Omens.

Maybe the little hats are for Nomes??

Oh. I listen to a lot of audio books - mainly because I travell a lot but also because my eyesight is crap and I hate wearing my glasses.
