What are you reading right now?

Finished re-reading Pitching Around Fidel by S.l. Price a couple weeks ago. Finished The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews last week. Both good reads.

I'm about to finish Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Simple book, one of the classics, and a very quick and easy read.

Since finishing this I've read:

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (& Other stories) by Stevenson

The Arabian Nights

War of the Worlds By Wells

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Wilde

The Time Machine & The Invisible Man by Wells

And I'm about halfway through Grimm's Fairy Tales, which could have been WAY condensed down by eliminating the duplicate stories with alternate characters/endings/etc.

I just started on it, my Dad recommended it, and so far it hasn't disappointed.

 
Getting ready to begin my annual reading of The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson. Love sitting by the beach, reading this book while on vacation. Will also be reading the Hunger Games.

 
Any recomendations for my 10 year old Son?

He has to do a book report in a week from something in Historical Fiction.

(Barely)Over 100 pages I believe..

I never heard of Historical Fiction and personally think most History Books are works of fiction.

I'm thinking of suggesting/looking for something on the Mayan culture.

 
Since I finished Black Light by Stephen Hunter, I've picked upTime to Hunt, the third of the Bob Lee Swagger books. I think Dirty White Boys might be next in line for me (as it ties into some of the smaller characters from earlier books, from what I've heard.

Anybody looking for suggestions on what to read, I can't think of a book I would recommend more highly than Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.

 
The last series I read was Twilight. Since they scared me so bad I now have a night light and back to the safer reads like Cat in the Hat. I'm currently working on Green Eggs and Ham.

The last book I read was Heaven is for real. It's a true story about a family here in Nebraska. I'm not a religious person but this was really good and read it cover to cover in 1 day.

Maybe try "Crispin, The Cross of Lead" Historical fiction set in 14th century England. I read it to my daughter as bedtime stories. http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/bookreviews/reviewcrispin.htm

 
One of the best classics I've read (well, reread) recently was The Great Gatsby. There aren't too many writers with Fitzgerald's gift around. I really need to read more of his stuff as soon as I can squeeze it in.

 
I'm almost done with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"

It's good. Starts off real slow, then gets kinda strange.

I have 'This Side of Paradise' queued up. I'm reading 'Frankenstein' right now, so maybe I'll read that next. I liked 'The Great Gatsby.' Read it in one night, the night after I moved back to Nebraska from California, with no furniture in the apartment, no wife, nothing to do. It was swell.
