Mostly a bunch of D&D 3.5 books. Keep meaning to read Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein.

I'm reading Monster Nation by David Wellington. I'm not sure what I'm expecting of it, but having read Monster Island, I want to read this one, and probably also Monster Planet which concludes the trilogy.
The author has some interesting ideas for the zombie genre, although I'm not a fan of everything in his first book.

Yet another biography of Mary, Queen of Scots. This one is written by John Guy.

A Case Of Need, Michael Crichton

 

[McNab]

One Shot, One Kill.

[koZmiQ]

I'm reading an Aussie private eye novel, by Peter Corris, called Undertow

 

[KittyKat]

Black Ice by Anne Stuart and lots of articles on counter terrorism

 

[plucap]

After finishing a few Kafka novels (which by the way suck just as I predicted) I'm working on Lord of the Flies. I've been reading classics the last year to "unveil the myth", but I have to say most of them are actually nice.

I would recommend reading Zorro by Isabel Allende and anything by George Orwell. Good books.

 

[Paraniod]

A Confederacy of Dunces

 

[ForgottenSeraph]

Freeones atm...
other than that...re-reading rainbow six

I'm thinking about this after I finish 3 in my stack now;

Failed States: The Abuse of Power and the Assault on Democracy by Noam Chomsky

Forget Iraq and Sudan--America is the foremost failed state, argues the latest polemic from America's most controversial Left intellectual. Chomsky (Imperial Ambitions) contends the U.S. government wallows in lawless military aggression (the Iraq war is merely the latest example); ignores public opinion on everything from global warming to social spending and foreign policy; and jeopardizes domestic security by under-funding homeland defense in favor of tax cuts for the rich and by provoking hatred and instability abroad that may lead to terrorist blowback or nuclear conflict. Ranging haphazardly from the Seminole War forward, Chomsky's jeremiad views American interventionism as a pageant of imperialist power-plays motivated by crass business interests. Disdaining euphemisms, he denounces American "terror" and "war crimes," castigates the public-bamboozling "government-media propaganda campaign" and floats comparisons to Mongols and Nazis. Chomsky's fans will love it, but even mainstream critics are catching up to the substance of his take on Bush Administration policies; meanwhile his uncompromising moral sensibility, icy logic and withering sarcasm remain in a class by themselves. Required reading for every thoughtful citizen.
