Reading at the same time :
- short stories by Chandler (translated),
- Beard and His Roman Women, Burgess (translated),
- Paddy Clarke ha ha ha, by Roddy Doyle (in English)
- non-fiction: A People's History of the United States, Howard Zinn (translated), and Marx, prénom : Karl, by Pierre Dardot and Christian Laval.
Stronger on Chandler atm, tenth re-reading or something. I alternate between the others according to the moment's mood, just started Paddy Clarke which I'd had for years and had never bothered about, very strong beginning.

Picked up George R.R. Martin's A Clash of Kings a few days ago to provide much needed solace from my occasional forays into William Gaddis' The Recognitions, with which I have no idea what I'm doing. Also occasionally reading excerpts from Samuel Chamberlain's My Confession: The Recollections of a Rogue.

Want to start reading both a book on the history of money by Niall Ferguson and a book by Sartre a friend lent me in the next few weeks. |
Which one?

It's on Spanish, and I'm too lazy to look for the original, that's why I left it at "a book"  . Roughly it translates to Existentialism is a Humanism.

I used to call my teacher Morgoth.
Anyways, I'm not reading much of anything at the moment, since I can't manage to pry myself away from my computer. :/

I'm rereading The Lord of the Rings now (currently on The Two Towers). Afterwards I think I'm going to move on to either Cloud Atlas or On the Road, two books which I've been told are great but never read before.

Cloud Atlas is great. Watch the movie after you've read the book, though, worked better that way for me.
Also @cymro The Silmarillion is excellent, especially if you enjoy mythology.

I just finished A Feast For Crows by George R.R. Martin. I thought it was the weakest of the series so far but still a good read and it ended on some nice cliff hangers.
I was in the mood for something different so I started The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. It's one of those classics I've always meant to read but have never gotten around to before.
