Oh yeah and my current reads are a paper for class (posting instead of reading it) The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, The Mummy by Anne Rice and several fanfics

You write fanfiction, too. Cool! I do, too. You must tell me how you like The Mummy by Anne Rice. I've only read the Vampire Chronicles. But for some reason my interest always seem to shift in literature. Like at first, I would read nothing but novels read by Asain American authors. Like I would read The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan. But now, my interest has shifted to Middle Eastern culture, so now I would like to read some Middle Eastern literature.

I'll shut up now.

The cookbooks I've bought recently have tons of recipe of Spanish cooking and the curry dishes with beautiful pictures, that will make you hungry by just looking at them.
They were bargain price of $5.99 a piece, so I bought two of the ones that really spoke to me. Now I can try to make paella, which I have failed everytime in the past.

The other kind of book I like to read lately are poems.
One of my favorite poet is Charles Bukowski; there was a movie called "Barfly" which is a semibiography of him.

I cannot believe that I am the only one who reads cook books. Aren't any of you out there trying to make something really good to eat? The entire Forum cannot be eating either fast-food or supping with Mom and Dad.

Fear not, Shooter !

I am an absolute s-u-c-k-e-r for cook books ! ( I had to do that ! The forum didn't like "******".... !)

Chinese, Japanese, French, Greek, Mexican.... you name it !

My wife and I found to our horror, the last time we moved house, that we had amassed a joint library of more than 4500 books !

I think they cover all the categories in the poll !

And they weigh a helluvalot !

My wife and I found to our horror, the last time we moved house, that we had amassed a joint library of more than 4500 books ! When I moved last year I hired a moving company that billed me by weight instead of volume (I actually prefer this because of odd shapes of furniture, etc). Anyway, when we weighed my personal library I discovered that I was posession of 850 pounds of books. Honestly, I don't even know how thats possible. I think books are like rabbits, they just multiply the longer you have them. (I had only lived at that place for a few years as well!)

Maybe if I put dust jackets on all my books they won't reproduce as fast

I like Anne Rice, but mostly I'm into crime... My favourite author is Val McDermid, who wrote my favourite book, The Wire in The Blood... Books about criminal profiling interest me... and spies, I'm reading Funeral in Berlin right now.

Admittedly, beyond manga, American comic books and Sports Illustrated, I don't read a fraction as much as I did when I was in the Navy and would stock loads of paperbacks in my locker for those long periods underway on ships. Back then, I loved reading horror, sci-fi (mostly Star Trek) and men's action like Mack Bolan, a.k.a. The Executioner!

[TOPERink]

I am currently reading Dan Brown's Angels & Demons. So far it's a great book.

But I will read anything that interests me. So it varies...a lot.

I also HAVE to read the latest Readers Digest. I just enjoy it.

[Unwiseevove]

Some years I practically not opened of not one book... The Truth sometime look in the Bible to take from there "Citation" for a forum, but it seldom enough occurs. Last the book which I read there was a book of the Japanese author about Miyamoto Mussasi (?).

Non-fiction, poetry and comic books. I don't like fiction much.

[boxcigsnick]

Recently I've switched to non-fiction books. Currently, I'm reading a book called The President of Good and Evil: The Ethics of George W. Bush. It's an interesting read.

I like history of science best of all. I love to learn how big discoveries came about, and how they were usually not accepted without a struggle. One of my favourites in this genre is Longitude by Dava Sobel.

In fiction I like to read classic novels, science fiction, children's fiction and George RR Martin (which is the only fantasy I can stand). I read a wide range of non-fiction - biographies, religion, ancient & mediaeval history, science, especially evolution, genetics and quantum physics. At the moment, though, I am reading a history of art.

[Imagimifouxum]

I like history of science best of all.

As for science, my favorite book of all times is Carl Sagan's "Cosmos." Just excellent and the enormity of the scale in which he painted the universe just really impressed me.

One of the parts that sticks in my memory was the comparison of grains of sands of all the beaches of the world, on the ocean bottom, or in deserts to the number of stars in the universe. Which numbered more?

I was quite surprised that the stars numbered more considering there are a lot of grains of sand here on Earth.

Who else has read "Cosmos"?

[icerrelmCam]

I'm fond of reading fiction, mythology, fantasy, classics and psychological literature... If you are reading - you're improving yourself)

I like Chak Pallanik also. His books are amazing and not usual... You'll never find up how his book ends... his characters has extraordinary logic, their deeds are unexpectable and freak...

you should read it)

[grosqueneen]

Ah yes, you mean the thing proping up the table.

[ferelrossi]

Hmm.. Occult/Religion seems fiction to me..

I read much about history.

And I have read very much scientific books my entire life.
My spectrum of interests was very wide.

[Petrushkaukrop]

I read much about history.

It's NOT obvious from your posts.

[Casyimipist]

It's NOT obvious from your posts.

Totally not from your posts you mean..
You seem to be a total illiterate.

I guess your family betrayed William Wallace...

You are to history what Genghis Khan would have been to the Peace Corps.

[theonsushv]

You are to history what Genghis Khan would have been to the Peace Corps.

And you are the clown on this forum. A fraud, a ridicule to mankind.
You don't ever answer a serious question.
Therefore, you must be a *****.
Go away..
Just leave..
