What are you reading right now?

I know it's an older book, but I am reading it for the first time. It is Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising. I'm not to far into it, but I like it so far.

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

Excellent read. Did take me some time to get through it but well worth it.

Coming to the last 100 pages of Das Boot now, what a pleasure it has been to read. Going through the tough times with them, the boredom, the joys, simply marvellous.

Not sure about my next read, I have got Iron Coffins but I might have a break from U-boats and read a book I purchased a few weeks back for my fiancée. The Book Thief http://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Thief-M...3164043&sr=8-1

[lambda*sqrt(u*x)]

Currently "Terre des hommes" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery...

and next one will be (finally found a copy):

"The last Days of Mankind" by Karl Kraus - a book I've really been looking forward to read for a long time.

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.

What a bizarre thing!

I recently downloaded some spybuster and registry cleaner kind of stuff, and looked at the demos. While I was getting rid of the ones I didn't want, I noticed some downloaded files which had numbers and not names I opened them up to see what they were, and to my amazement apparently sometime in the past I gained access to online copies of the official Radar Navigation and Maneuvering Board Manual, and, even better, The American Practical Navigator! I can't believe I have Bowditch's APN!

I have to go read it now.
