What are you reading?

[Σ]

Just like the title says, what are you currently reading? I encourage you to give your opinion so far as well as a little about the book.

Right now I have a couple on my plate:
1. American Psyco. Its about a maniac that works at Wall Street. He has hallucinations and kills people. So far its ineresting and i would compare it to Fight Club as far as the mentality of the book goes. It also plays well on high society life and how menial much of it is.

2. EMT: beyond the lights and sirens. Its pretty much just the story of an EMT and goes through how she trained and her experience in the field. I am reading it because I will be taking an EMT course at the local community college. Its very interesting and is a good look at the work of an emergency medical tech.

I started American Psycho. Must get back into it. At the minute I'm reading Might Is Right by Ragnar Redbeard, it's good, but kinda repetitive. Listening to The Great Gatsby in Audiobook format on my phone, it's brilliant, full of great characters and very true, witty, observations.

The Night Circus - My sister highly recommended I read it. It's kind of a an artsy sort of book but it's grounded enough in reality to where I can appreciate it.

Also, some religious books.

I'm re-reading The Great Gatsby because it's been about 7 years since I read it last and the nonfiction gets a little dry sometimes. The nonfiction is
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
which picks apart the old BASIC program whos single line of code is the title. Its about the cultural significance of mazes, geometric patterns, and randomness. Interesting, but not always the best thing to read first thing in the morning...

'stories of my father'  by the HNIC

A Handful of Darkness by Philip K. Dick.  His writing is crazy, he's crazy.  I love everything I've read of his.

Also reading Black Spring by Henry Miller.

Just finished ender's game and watched the movie( which sucked IMO), so now im looking for a good non-fiction WW2 novel told from one single point of view of a solider (from any country).  Any recommendations?

I thought it was pretty good considering the time they had. The problem is, they SHOULD HAVE made it a two-parter.

The book was great, I just didnt like the movie.  Although if they would have made it into a two parter like you said I think it would have been a lot better

I'm currently reading The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell after being harassed by an old college classmate to read it for the past eight years.
