What are you reading right now?

Just got Age of Reptiles: the Journey #4 (of 4) by Ricardo Delgado ; published by Dark Horse. It's not exactly reading material as there are no words, but it's a (comic) book, so technically I'm reading it...
Anyway, here are some random pageshots for those unfamiliar with it:



Here is the splash page, where a bunch of plesiosaurs are sunning on a rock and then suddenly attacked by by mosasaurs, kinda like killer whales atttacking seals. The second shot is a story panel:



Can't really explain everything that's going on here , but it's just to give you a feel of the storytelling technique. Anyway, slide on down to your local comics shoppe and pick these up pronto, you won't regret it!

Gahh, I really want these comics.

I'm reading Restoration by Rose Tremain. Quite a fair bit removed from Dinosaurs. ;D

[Libraraptor]

I should read something about parents / children - relationship for my job right now. But actually I read Hermann Hesse and the German soccer/football - magazine "kicker" (special issue because the Bundesliga starts soon).

[Horridus]

I'm reading the Holtz/Rey encyclopaedia. Also, the latest doorstop by Robert Fisk as part of my degree. Pfft, he met Osama bin Laden, whatever...

[Tyrannax]

The Trench by Steve Alten. How on earth does he stretch this out into 4 books?

[Krissy]

I'm reading Night Watch by Terry Pratchett.

I haven't read any books in a while. There are just... Other things to do.

I just finished the West of Eden series and I'm starting Far-Seer , book one of the Quintaglio series...again for the 4-5th time I think ? :lol

Dale Carnegie "How To Win Friends and influence people". Very old fashioned book with the classic American ideal of a housewife to support the busy businessman. Like "Death Of A Salesman".
Yet there are some good tips in there. Some chapters are really precious.

Currently reading "The Horned Dinosaurs" by Peter Dodson

[veloziraptor]

I'm in the middle of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by H.P. Lovecraft

[DinoLord]

This thread. ;D

"Brave New World" High School

The Steel Remains. By Richard Morgan.

A no holds barred, brutal & non-compromising fantasy. Not my normal reading genre but I like morgan's takashi kovacs trilogy (started in Altered Carbon". Basically a scifi noir detective novel which was brilliant, uncompromising hardcore scifi.)

The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown
aka The DaVinci Code set in Washington DC
Still a page-turner and some interesting info along the way. I was thrilled to actually recognize one of the clues; I have the Feldhase (young hare) picture hanging in my son's room and recognized the A/D symbol immediately!

[Himmapaan]

Oh, is Brown goofing around with Dürer this time, then? ;D

[Megaraptor]

A fair bit, actually:

More Horowitz Horror (Anthony Horowitz)
The Pencil of Doom (Andy Griffiths)
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (J.K. Rowling)
In The Presence Of Dinosaurs (Colagrande & Felder)
Feathered Dinosaurs (John Long & Peter Schouten)
