What are you reading right now?

Sailor Steve! - I´m looking through this thread, and I´m impressed about the number of books that You´ve read. Gosh!, I have a big bunch of books behind my bed that should have been read to the end - I wish I had your energy

I´m that kind of guy that buys and lends books, but seldom finished them to the last page. I don´t have the patience and there always seems to be a more interesting book behind the corner

Well, there's a reason for that. A decade ago I was working for a book distributor's warehouse. One of the perks was free books. I still have about forty boxes full of all kinds of books I've never read. I was homeless for a very long time, and when you can't find work and you can't stay in the shelter in the daytime and you can't get online anywhere, you go to the library. So I would go to the library and get online for an hour, and then start reading all the things I promised myself I would long ago, plus new ones.

Now I have a place. I have my computer set up and I work on all the projects I've put off for more than a year. One of my roommates watches television all the time, and I never do. I also haven't picked up a book in the last three weeks. I guess having a place to live has its disadvantages as well.:rotfl:

Oh, and I still have forty boxes of books I've never read.

You will not be disappointed with that one, thats for sure. A bloody good read that book.

''Das Buch", german version. Being a dutchie, german language was my worst subject at school some 15 years ago. Since the movie was so good, the book can only deserve the hardcore attitude.

Reading the 'Aleutians, Gilberts, and Marshalls' installment of Samuel Eliot Morison's 'US Naval Operations of WWII'. Just finished the collected edition of Brian Bendis' 'Alias' comics, issues 1 - 9. Rather impressed with both, actually.

Hi STEED

I've only made it thru the forword part. It seems every time I pick it up the phone rings or someone knocks on the door.

Finished Das Boot. What an amazing read. It has succesfully knocked Catch 22 off the top for my favourite book. Simply brilliant. The ending was the only way it could go.

Next book i'm reading is called 'Flashman' and features this fine chap http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashman

Time for some comedy after the very long and serious Das Boot

[Sailor Steve]

Ah, good old Flashy: the man who managed to be everywhere anything was happening during most of the 19th century.

I find Fraser's opinion of the Royal Flash movie interesting, since he wrote the screenplay for Lester's The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers.

I ran out of reading material and picked up Iron Coffins, which I'd read a while back, to leaf through for a while and now I'm hooked on reading it through a second time. I'm actually enjoying it more the second time. The first time I'd only been playing SH3 for a little while; now I have a bit of an eye to pick up details from watch routines to attack setups etc.
