Today I started Americana by Don DeLillo. The dry humour is keeping me interested, maybe I will finish this one. :wink:

I really like Don DeLillo. Have you read Ratner's Star or White Noise?

Right now I'm reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Just finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman and it was great.

I just finished "The Darkest Hour," yet another in Erin Hunter's Warriors cat series, and "Unstrange Minds," by Richard Roy Grinker, about autism.

Shakespeare's Champion by Charlaine Harris. Of course, it has nothing to do with Shakespeare (darn!). It's a mystery set in a town called Shakespeare. It's a good enough read.

Just finished "Uncle Tungsten: memories of a chemical boyhood" by Oliver Sacks. It read pretty much like my autobiography.

Reading "Blood of the Isles" by Bryan Sykes, which is an investigation of the DNA of the British Isles.

I've read 'the man who took his wife for a hat' or something like that from Sacks but not his biography (although I read also 'One leg to stand on' might be wrong translation, I'm lazy. And that was autobiographical)

I'm reading Daniel Tammet right now 'Embracing the blue sky' if I remember well the title in English (wow, my laziness during holidays is a pretty bad)

Shadow's Edge, second book in the Night Angel Trilogy. It's a pretty unique fantasy setting, even if the plot is very basic. A likeable cast and some very cool action round out a pretty good diversion if you'd like something different from your swords and sorcery.

"The Kindly Ones" by Jonathan Littel. It's told from the perspective of a former SS officer looking back at his life. His main goal isn't ot ask for the readers forgiveness but to point out 'I was just like yoyu when this (Nazi era) started. Don't think you're beeter then or morally superior to me." Disturbing but very good so far.

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende. This is my fourth or fifth time reading the book.

I'm also reading Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns. Shut up. It might work.

Right now I'm reading a whole lotta Chekhov, specifically, Ward No. 6, The Darling, and his other Short Stories. I find them all to be magnificent, but I'm looking forward to reading them again in about 4 years, when I'm going to take a crack at reading them in the original Russian. I'm willing to bet it's a lot better.
