You. Are. Depressimg me. I've got TONNES of unread books. Think I have time to read them? *ugh* Nope. School, school, school. And then, when I'm not in school, I'm taking care of sick chinchers...

Mrr... Last I read was... Oh, yes, the books in the guest room... I think a few of them are translated, but I can't remember the names of the authors on the top of my head... S

I think my last book was Ursula K. LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness

I keep thinking he is a neuter.

just finished Lamb by Chris Moore. Thinking of giving Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove another shot, too.
currently working on The Day of Creation by J.G. Ballard, occasionally slogging Orlando by Virginia Woolf (I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!), A Density Of Souls by Chris Rice, and Hollywood by Gore Vidal.

this is apart from geek nonfiction and o'reilly books i happen to pick up...

Currently reading The Iron Wars Book 3 of The Monarchies of God by Paul Kearney. I'm finding it pretty good.

Currently: The Death of the Necromancer by Martha Wells

She is an author who I will always pick up.

Smartass

Yes, her books are excellent and you should pick them up whenever you can.

Just read Anne McCaffrey's To Ride Pegasus

not sur what to say. I liked it when I was younger. Have the other two in the series. Got them all for Christmas. I would really like to read* Susan Cooper's book series.

edit: re-read.

I Love Susan Cooper's Books.

Just finished (re)reading Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein. Never realized it in the couple of times I'd read it before, but Heinlein's a nutcase. There's a little bit of Libertarian in all of us, I think, and I love the book, but I wouldn't like living in his world. I don't do well on the Social Darwinism scale.

I think I'll read Joe Haldeman's The Forever War to even out. It's the anti-Starship Troopers, despite the almost identical subject matter (down to the collective-mind aliens).

I also have James Clavell's Shogun in the queue.

read pegasus in flight last night
might read in space tonight
I should find those old sci-fi books and re-read them, they're so fun
Universe 7! Uviverse 3! The Day The Earth Stood Still! Short stories are yay.

Just read A Sorcerer's Treason by Sarah Zettel. Very good. Book 1 of 3.

just finished Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

Reading the novel (about 208 pages, really) is interesting, since the movie was a really good translation, and the important plot-bits hold together in the written form.

Dragon Bones by Patricia Briggs.

This one sucked me in and didn't let me go till I finished it.
