So, whacha reading now?

[imaguitargod]

Well, I'm usually reading two or three books at a time so I thought I'd see what everyone else is reading. Think of it as the "f*CT it I'm drinking" thread but for books.

I just finished up two "How to Make Wine" books yesturday and am now reading "Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking" by Nicholas Collins. I started it Yesturday and am about 1/2 way through it.

I won't list online reading/articles for this thread is for books.

Ive been tryin to get back on track again -- I have been trying to get back to the classics that I have never read such as the one I am reading now Nineteen Eighty Four -- Orwell

I'm reading an autobiography about a child who suffered from Severe Attachment Disorder. I love autobiographys but not so much by famous people. I like any true stories. I've read nearly every Tori Hayden book. I also like anything to do with Victorian medicine, well medicine in general. The last book that made me laugh though was Marley and Me by John Grogan. One of my favourite books is The secret Diary of Laura Palmer, I did own it but can't find it. I must confess that I have books from the Wizard of Oz series, and The Lion the witch and the Wardrobe (C.S Lewis) was a great book and I used to love the Famous Five by Enid Blyton. I read a well-thumbed 'Forever' by Judy Blume from the school library at a very early age. God I make myself sound so intelligent with those books.

You should have a bookcase like mine where you'll find books on psychology, philosophy, and some poetry books to make myself look all smart-like and then have interspersed among them are books with titles like "I hope they serve beer in hell", "The redneck manifesto", "The Modern Drunkard" and "The asshole's guide to handling chicks". That one always raises a few eyebrows.
