What are you reading?

"To Try Men's Souls" (Gingrich/Forstchen). Excellent book.

"Valley Forge: George Washington and the Crucible of Victory" (Gingrich/Forstchen). Just picked this one up and looking forward to reading it.
 
Been working way too much lately, haven’t been reading enough.

The last one was “One Second After” which I did on audio. I need to start reading candy cane and lollipop books so I stop spending money on guns, ammo and preps.
 
Finishing Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card for the fourth time, and I'm mostly reading it so I can read Ender's Shadow again.

I also recently read the Hunger Games trilogy in about three weeks.

I'm also reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. But it's not moving very quickly... I'm easily distracted.

(PS. We got rid of our satellite a few months ago, or else I would be reading zero books!)
 
I'm into Fantasy Fiction, and I'm currently reading The Malzan series by Steven Erikson. Some of it is so good. It's some pretty good stuff if that's your thing.
 
Re-reading my one of my favourite book at the moment.
Neuromancer by William Gibson

Also reading Hagakure, The Book of the Samurai, by Yamamoto Tsunetomo

And finishing up A brave new world by Aldous Huxley

Next in line are:

-Walden by Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau spent two years, two months and two days writing this book in a secluded cabin near the banks of Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. This is a story about being truly free from the pressures of society. The book can speak for its self: I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only he essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived..

-Lord of the Flies by William Golding
A powerful and alarming look at the possibilities for savagery in a lawless environment, where compassionate human reasoning is replaced by anarchistic, animal instinct

-World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks
 
Currently reading a biographical novel on Goring called The Knight, Death, and the Devil by Leffland.

It's been a while since I've read them, but I highly recommend the Little Britches series by Ralph Moody.

90 % of my way through Stephen King's "Under the Dome", his newest one I think. A good read all in all. Depicts the societal breakout and other hijincks experienced by a small town (Maine) when a impenetrable force field separates them from the outside world. Its got action, interesting characters and despite the far-fetched scenario it gets you thinking about SHTF/survival situations.

It's a good book, I am about 75% of the way through it. Probably King's best book since The Stand. It is interesting that he started working on the manuscript during the 1970s and finally got around to finishing it.

Next up: Castles of Steel, a non-fiction on Battleships during the First World War.

Dabbling in "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine.

Noam Chomsky "hopes and prospects" is next.

Today I was just reminded of the "Firefox" book(s), on bladeforums in another thread. I had forgotten about them a long time ago. Time to buy a series of books i think. (I'm pretty sure that was the source of the dirrections for the deer hide i tried to tann as a kid.)

I will have to look into some of the popular non-fiction books posted here too.
