  • What are you reading now?

I just finished reading Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five. I absolutely love this man's books. The fictional stories and characters he makes up are unlike anything out there. His writing style is well-established and very entertaining -- which is a huge plus for those of us who lack the motivation to delve through a novel.

Anyway the title is pretty much self-explanatory, what are you reading now, or what are the books on your to-read list?
not reading anything now but I want to read the game of thrones book series....even though I really want to know what happened after season 3, I am never in the mood to read them...
I have just finished reading, for the 2nd time, The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams. Although the story is set in the context of intergalactic space travel, this book isn't really about Science Fiction. Instead, it's mainly about the author's playful twist of the language to come up with the fuzziest logic possible. Hilariousness ensues almost every time.

Now I am reading George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London. I fell in love with Orwell after reading 1984 and am slowly discovering the rest of his work.

My next book is most probably going to be one by Ayn Rand. I'm not sure which one, probably We the living.

Huh...Ironically I was just about to start with "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", that was after I had to learn that Douglas Adams tried to borrow the same type of absurdity found in Vonnegut's "The Sirens of Titan", perhaps one of my all time favorite books. He also happens to mention that this book had a profound influence on his writing career, so I guess you shouldn't go wrong with a Douglas Adams book especially if you admire Vonnegut's eccentric wit.

Also I'm not too big a fan of Ayn Rand, neither of her narcissistic tendencies, nevertheless if you haven't picked any of her books yet, then your best bet would be to start with "The Fountainhead", easily one of her most popular and greatest works.
