I've said it so many times on this board, but Infinite Jest is one of the best novels ever written.

A People's Tragedy: The Russian Revolution, 1891-1924by Orlando Figes. Having just finished the superb Red Plenty by Francis Spufford, my love affair with Russian history has drawn me in deeper..
Also The Snowman by Jo Nesbo for my light lunchtime disengage-brain, Scandinavian surly detective / gorefest reading needs.

I just finished reading "Let's Pretend This Never Happened" by Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess). Loved every single word.
Torn between continuing The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo or a Chuck Palahniuk book.

Just finished re-reading 1984, almost done with Fahrenheit 451, and I'm about to start Carl Sagan's Cosmos.
It's been a while since I've read for fun.. just getting back into it!

i spend waaaaaaay too much time on the computer and not enough time behind a good book. i need to get back into reading.
unfortunately, the last used book shop within a comfortable distance of the center of town has been kicked out of the building it has occupied for the past age to make way for a cheese shop which will pay higher rent. fuck.
on the other hand: libraries! <3

It certainly is! It's also so heavy I could commit murder with it. Seriously, it's a bugger to read in bed - the damn thing weighs a tonne!!
Just bought Siberian Dreams by Andy Home too, which looks at a modern Siberian mining town, drawing (not so) oblique parallels between life there now and life in the Gulag. Looks good, just waiting for it to arrive.

I just finished White Teeth by Zadie Smith. Pretty good debut (I know I am 12 years late, but whatever)
I think I am going to buy "How Life Imitates Chess" by Gary Kasparov, looks interesting.
Becoming increasingly interested in Chess in general actually.

Decided to get into the classics recently.
Am currently reading Ulysses by James Joyce. It is mind boggling.
Half the time I am completely lost and the other half I am completely blown away.

I recently recognized the fact that I spend a bit too much time on my computer, absorbed in my cyber-world. I decided to get back into reading; I love the idea of books, but rarely made time to read.
Ironically, one of these first things I did after realizing this was to join Goodreads.
Anyway, I went to my local bookshop and purchased the following this past weekend:
The Diary of a Madman, The Government Inspector, and Selected Stories
by Nikolai Gogol (Translated by Ronald Wilks)
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami (Translated by Jay Rubin)
and one other book which I can't remember the title of just now.
