The "What are you reading?" thread

OK, its a day before 2011, so sue me :biggrin:

I am currently reading on my brand new Nook Color the book "One Second After".

Its about the after effects of what would happen if an EMP occurred, and how we would handle it unexpectedly being in a world with no electricity, no cell phones, no automation, no long distance communication.

So far its a good read.


What are you guys reading?

So...you are basically reading the Book about Larry Brown's Offensive Sets? That's how old they are.

LB's offensive sets are actually written on stone tablets.

I read One Second After a few years ago, excellent read. Plus it's based close to here so the references made sense. And pretty accurate, too.

What I'm reading: Brethren by Robyn Young.
About Templars, which I love to read about :biggrin:

Also got the second book in the night angel triology sitting on my shelf, will start that after Brethren is done. Book is called Shadow's Edge by Brent Weeks

I received Game Change by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin for Christmas. It's about the 2008 presidential election and all the interesting things involved with it. I just got started, but so far, so good.

The irony leaps off of the page... ummm screen.

For those of you that like audiobooks, I highly recommend my favorite audiobook of all time.

7th Son

above is the link to book one of the 3 book series. Give it a try, I think that you will enjoy it.

I'm starting off the year on a serious note. Love In The Time Of Cholera followed by a little Dostoevsky. After that, who knows? Probably some sci-fi or maybe some books on religion (in other words more sci-fi, heh heh).
