What book are you reading?

ooo the Bible... not kidding Big Grin
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I'm looking forward to reading that. I've read his other two books ("The Elegant Universe" and "The Fabric of the Cosmos"). Interesting stuff. Big Grin

I'll probably regret asking you, but, are you still reading it ( it's a bit long and utter crap ) or re-reading it ( I re-read books I like ) or reading a bit for some reason?
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

I am actually re-reading the Bible at the moment, but it will take a while (around 3 months or so), since I am reading only 16 chapters or so a day. Right now I am at Genesis 20.

Uuuh! Is it the same "series" as "Little Women and Werwolves", "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", "Jane Slayer", "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters"? In that case I want to read it too!

At the moment I'm reading "Pride and Prejudice", bought it for my kindle, but it's a dissapointment, since it seems to be abriged and altered.. I rather like the original one, though it's a bit hard to read sometimes.. Tongue

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

What's the reason for paying for something you could get for free from Guttenberg?

Sort of. It's apparently by the same publishers as PPnZ, and even by the same author, but it's not really based on any pre-existing literary work. It's in my reading queue right now, but only time will tell how long it takes for me to read it.
For what it's worth, I am reading The Code of the Samurai (translated by Thomas Cleary), and after that, Faulkner's Light in August. In addition, I'm also listening to an audiobook of Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War.
