I just thought I would create a new thread asking people what they are reading now

Currently I am reading a Star Trek: S.C.E. (Starfleet Corps of Engineers) book called the demon book 1 - Star Trek: S.C.E. #35: The Demon, Book 1

I am reading it on my Palm Tungsten E2 using the new eReader software

So what are you reading now?

Right now? The computer screen.
Truthfully I haven't read a book in quite a while, newspapers galore and magazines are all I indulge in at the moment. The last book I attempted to read was the Bill Clinton autobiography, kept getting interrupted so I gave up.

24 Declassified: Veto Power by John Whitman. A very very good EU book for 24

I'm also reading The Solitaire Mystery by well, someone, for English class. It's not as bad as I expected it to be...

Just found a copy of A Canticle for Liebowitz by Walter Miller this morning...I need ot read it for school and so I've been spending the weekend searching in the basement for my father's edition of it so I don't need to buy it.
From what I hear, it's an extremely good novel. So I'm excited to start it.

I started to read "The Book of Lost Things" on my Palm Ereader as the small tidbits I read about it reminded of the book "Magic Kingdom - Sold"

So far I am at the point where the books are calling to him after his mom's death

Cattitude: The Feline Guide to Being Fabulous

Just picked it up at the local school. They are having a book fair this week. Short book with great cat pictures. The little blurbs of advice are great. My favorite is: "If you can't be the prom queen, be the drama queen".

Mortified: Real Words. Real People. Real Pathetic.

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. If the only way to heal painful high school memories is to laugh at someone else's painful high school memories, this book can accurately be labeled the antidote. Based on Nadelberg's stage show of the same name, this is a raw, hilarious compendium of real childhood and high school journals, essays and letters, with rueful commentary from their now-adult writers-each of whom deserve applause for their bravery and generosity. Entries enumerate the dumb-founding horror of sexual awakening ("I like him. But I don't know if I like him. But I don't hate him. I don't wanna like him!"), the frustration of feeling different ("I hate Black History Month. It's the one month out of the year when white people feel comfortable to ask me all sorts of strange, inappropriate questions") and the bizarre dreams of adolescence (such as one contributor's Duran Duran fan fiction, which must be read to be believed). Unafraid to delve into sex and drugs, Nadelberg even includes some charming amateur erotica written by a clueless twelve-year-old. Illustrated with great awkward-phase photos, this treasure-chest of confusion and angst will make readers squirm and smile with the realization that, as Nadelberg puts it, "we were all that same strange kid."


Really good book so far \:\)

There is a used book store going out of business here and they have a 75% off sale going on. We checked it out yesterday and found that they were also selling boxes of books. I bought a box of 110 sci-fi/fantasy books for $35 to put up on Ebay or Half.com.

I brought " Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin to work. I've been hoping to get a chance to start it. We will see if I do. Snow is forecasted today so there may be alot of accidents.
