Whether it's literary fiction, fantasy, crime fiction, history, chick lit, a current bestseller or whatever, please dish about what you're reading right now and tell us how you like it  I'm currently enjoying the ' The Man Who Walked Around The World' written by Dave Kunst right now as we speak, as he was the first man to travel the world, along with his brothers. At first, he just went off with John, but then John got killed in Afghanistan when they were attacked by bandits. So I'm now reading at the part of Peter taking over John's place to walk with Dave This post has been edited by firedauz: Apr 1 2009, 12:52 AM

I'm currently reading 'Ayat - Ayat Cinta' by Habiburrahman El Shirazy. My second time reading it. Great story. Watched the movie first before I read the book.

I'm reading Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun. Currently reading the 3rd book out of four. Finished Nail Gaiman's Graveyard Book a couple of weeks ago, that was pretty good.

I (used to) have this thick kamus-like book of sherlock holmes stories that is really old - it uses those hardcover cardboard+ cloth kind of binding. and the pages are all super thin it was falling apart. I think my mom threw it away tho

If you like this book, then maybe you can look for The Kid by Kevin Lewis. It's sorta like Angela's Ashes, but The Kid was set in the 1970s or something. The book I am currently reading (or, rather, re-reading) is Cecelia Ahern's If You Could See Me Now.

I am reading "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom. It is about a man named Chick Benetto, that get a chance to spend one more day with his mother, who has died many years ago. Sad story, but in my opinion the book "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" is better. QUOTE "If you had the chance, just one chance, to go back and fix what you did wrong in life, would you take it?"

Nearly to the end. One good book I would say. Next shall be Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris or Cell by Stephen King. =)
