Re: What are you reading now?
Re-reading The Hobbit for a refresher before the movie comes out. It's been about 30 years.

Re: What are you reading now?
I'm reading a Kindle book one of my friends wrote. "The Love Bomb" by Jacob Hackman. It's the true story of his relationship with his abusive ex-wife.

Re: What are you reading now?
Re-reading the Wheel of Time series (yes...again) getting ready for the conclusion coming in January. I've been waiting over 20 years to find out how this bloody story ends. And the Light willing, I'll see this Age come to an end.

ASoIaF pretty much killed my interest in WoT. Not sure I could go back...

Re: What are you reading now?
HELTER SKELTERby Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry. Read this back a number of years ago .I recently saw something from one of the reporters who followed the case back then on the biography channel. Figured id re read it don't remember all of the facts surrounding the case. I figured it was worth a read again that and i picked it up for $0.25

Re: What are you reading now?
started "Тома ранней истории" in my attempt to make myself more second-natured to cyrillic like i am with the Elder Futhark and the Futhorc alphabets. it's Icelandic "Volsunga Saga" translated into Russian. i figured going with something i am very familiar with would make learning it less annoying.

This Machine Kills Secrets was an interesting read. Some thought-provoking scenarios are laid out in there.

Re: What are you reading now?
If anyone wants any great reads...Read something by charles bukowski or Chuck Palahniuk..Both have their dark sense of humor..something i love...But Choke by Palahniuk or Invisible Monsters..Heard Rant was good too. Or Post office by Bukowski....Currently though I am reading The Hobbit...Great book so far..and coincidentally I left off at the same spot the movie did..with the book obviously being better than the movie so far
