I'm just finishing up No Man's Land by George Monbiot

I'm totally behind on my reading, I really want to start this one but didn't finish my other book yet

Posted

I do that too.

I'm usually reading one novel and 3 or 4 non-fiction books at the same time... I know its a bad habit, but I can't break it. And, at least, i figure I'm doin' better than the like 80% of Americans who don't read at all...

Yeah, that's really great. I don't really read much, it comes and goes in waves.

Same here. I love reading, but I do a fair amount just doing things online ect. and life gets so busy sometimes that all of a sudden I realize I haven't read an actual book in weeks.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

-The World of Karl Pilkington

Words by Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, & Karl Pilkington

*Basically, it's the transcripts from "The Ricky Gervais Show" podcasts. I actually quite enjoyed them myself, I have never heard the actual podcasts though.

 

-The Office: The Scripts series 1

By Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant

*It's just the first season of scripts for the BBC series, "The Office". It was just something to read to see how similar they are to the show.

 

-The Office: The Scripts series 2

By Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant

*It's bascially the same as the first one, except, this time it's season two of the BBC series.

 

-Nineteen Eighty-Four

By George Orwell

*His infamous novel in a society where everyone is watched all the time. I enjoyed this one, but I was left with a little disappointment with the ending.

 

-The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy

By Douglas Adams

*Another well known novel. It's actually pretty humourous. I quite enjoyed the little pot shots it took at humans as well.

 

-The Restaurant At The End of The Universe

By Douglas Adams

*It was pretty good, but this book feels like an inbetween book, so I'm interested in seeing how the third book plays out.

 

-Life, The Universe, and Everything

By Douglas Adams

*This is a well done book, I think it's basically the one where they bring the first two together.

 

-So Long and Thanks For All The Fish

By Douglas Adams

*It's a good book, it's kind have the only piece of the story that wasn't finished off though...

 

-Mostly Harmless

By Douglas Adams

*An alright end to the series, but I was kind have hoping for something more.

 

-The Bourne Betrayal

By Eriv Van Lustbader

*It's a pretty good novel, however, this one does get a little long at times.

 

-The Audacity of Hope

By Barack Obama

*It was a very interesting read, however, there are some points that get a little tiring and there is no quick exit from them. Still it's a worth while book to check out.

 

-The Dirk Gentry Omnibus

By Douglas Adams

*First book was great, second was not nearly as good.

 

-The Salmon of Doubt

By Douglas Adams

*It was alright, not amazing, but had some good stories in it.

 

-In Cold Blood

By Truman Capote

*Interesting, however, around the last 1/3 it starts to carry on. Still a very well done book though.

 

-Braddock

By Jim Hague

*Alright non-fiction...

 

-I, Robot

by Isaac Asmiov

 

-High Fidelity

by Nick Hornby

Just finished High Fidelity, now reading "Secrets from The Vinyl Cafe"...

How was it? It's next on my list. Right now I'm reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer but in a very slow speed.
