What are you reading?

Nowadays I read most books in my iPhone Kindle app.

Cliché: Just finished the Steve Jobs bio and "Ready Player One" which was a great book!

Well I am definitely the odd duck here, I am once again reading one of my all-time favorites Vanity Fair. I have worn out multiple copies of it along with Pride and Prejudice.

Jack Kirby's Thor run, Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter, and pesticide labels.

Right now, I'm just finishing up "Watch You Bleed: The Saga of Guns N' Roses" by Stephen Davis (who's Led Zeppelin bio, "Hammer of the Gods" I'm a huge fan of, and have re-read many times). The GNR book is almost as good, this guy can really write a very interesting rock band bio.

Transmetropolitan - Ellis (Just finished the entire series a couple weeks ago. Love to revisit it every year.)
If Chins Could Kill - Campbell (Just finished it & restarted it.)

Oh yeah, both of those are great, and are totally re-readable (think I've read both at least three times and are about due for another )

Tea Money by Tom Bleecker ex husband of linda lee , bruce lee's wife. his book is about:

While writing the biography of a deceased international megastar whose death was ruled an accident by misadventure, a former street reporter battles a powerful asian crime syndicate when he discovers that the celebrity was murdered and that his widow, under the threat of death, has become an accomplice in the murder cover-up and the victim of extortion.

very suspenseful and goes quickly!

Paper versions.

Not reading, per se, but right now addicted to the Will Shortz edited NY Times Crossword books. I'm amazed at how much I can solve without a crossword dictionary.

"Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace, based on a recommendation.

It's hurting my brain and I'm about to give up after struggling with it for weeks. I read a review online saying something like "I thought it was the worst book ever, but I got to page 150 and it started becoming one of my favorite books." so I ran to check what page I was at - only page 80 (it's just over 1000 pages long, and I don't think that includes the foot notes - yeah, it's got friggin' foot notes!)

I can only read a few pages a night - each chapter (I'm not even sure they're chapters really) is about anther character, usually in another time and place - often the narrator changes with each part - and there isn't anything establishing each new setting, you're just left on your own to try and figure out what's going on.

Anyway - I read before I go to bed, so I'll give it another couple of nights - but unless I can figure out why everyone is so crazy about this thing it might end up in the trash.

Maybe someone here has read it and can give me some encouragement?

The Hobbit (with the kids), just finished Frank Miller's ,300, and last night read the new Doug TenNapel graphic novel "Bad Island," (awesome go buy it!) began reading GK Chesterton's "The Everlasting Man."

[babycyclops]

D-Day The Battle for Normandy by Antony Beevor. Beevor's books are detailed, yet accessible military history.

Octopus, The Ocean's Intelligent Invertebrate by Mather, Anderson and Wood.

Habibi by Craig Thompson. Just started this unique graphic novel. Quite beautiful.

almost anything by John Irving.

Den Koontz's Frankenstein series. Great books. Koontz weaves a story where Mary Shelley's story was based on real events. The "monster" is actually a hero and Victor Frankenstein is as evil as you can get. He furthers his works under the Hitler regime and goes on to get help from Stalin, Mao Tse Tung and others. I am reading them on my iPad.
