I've just finished that too!!

I've also just finished "Noise/Music: A History" by Paul Hegarty

About to start "Rant" By Chuck Palahaniuk
 
right at this min im reading this thread

but i did start to read Kevin Smiths: My Boring Ass Life

Pretty s**t so far if im honest
 
Numerous boring books :). Just finishing all the exercises in "The C Programming Language" for starters. Takes awhile that book, does not help that I've been side tracked by a lot recently though.

At first glance I thought it was "C++ GUI Programming Guide" :D

I'm not currently reading anything, but a while ago I flipped through Edwin Drood by Dickens. I love his description and the way he words things. Classic.
 
At the moment, James Morrow's "The Last Witchfinder" which is hilarious, very intelligent, a right rollicking read; also Andrew Marr's "A History of Modern Britain" which is an excellent really well-written book.

Cheers
 
Stone Cold by Robert Parker

This thread, but as a book, Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder, highly recommended!
 
I've got three books going right now:

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

The Demon-Haunted World by Carl Sagan

Einstein: His Life and Universe by Walter Isaacson​

Such an amazing book. He is such an incredible, almost unrealistic person.

The story of who he is just amazes me, and Kidder did an amazing job with the writing. I am not at all a fan of biographies, but not once while reading it did I feel that I was reading a biography (probably because his life was so amazing it seems fictional).

It is a book that makes you believe in people again [read: a helpful antidote after watching election coverage].
