Question What are you reading?

I've just started reading "Under the Dome" by Stephen King.

What I have read so far has been brilliant. The charcter building is superb and the story gets going right from the off with people dying left right and centre because of this "thing".

It is however the longest book I have read and I'm not the quickest of readers so I think it will be a while before I am done.

I'm put off by the fact it looks like a retelling of the Simpsons Movie.
 
The Girl who played with Fire - Second book of the Stieg Larrson trilogy, Another good read and the characters are still believable whilst the writing is quite dark 8/10

Currently reading the new Jack Reacher adventure from Lee Childs
 
The Hell of it All - Charlie Brooker - pretty much a collection of his work for the Graunid and other such publications, pretty good, but halfway thru and is a tad repetative.

Up next are the first two Stieg Larssen books from the triology

WHoever above mentioned Terry Pratchett, i have only read 'Making Money' but this was excellent. Got right into reading lately.
 
Currently reading Anthony Reynold's Leonard Cohen:A Remarkable Life.Very interesting and informative read.Time to slash my wrists perhaps? :unsure:
 
I'm really enjoying Three Cups of Tea (the book!). It's a biog of Greg Mortenson, an American climber who narrowly failed to climb K2 and then wandered into a village on the way down suffering from exposure. They looked after him and he, in turn, recognised that they needed help and built a school there. It's inspirational stuff. It's nice reading about an American who attempts to understand the people of Northern Pakistan and Afghanistan and builds bridges to them.
 
Lots (and lots and lots and lots) of stuff on my new Kindle.

The question is "What are you reading?" not "Why don't you show off about your new device?"

Anyhow, I'm reading "The Blind Side" by Michael Lewis. Rattling through it at the moment, a really enjoyable read.
 
The Vanished Man by Jeffery Deaver - Part of the Lincoln Rhyme series. Really good books and this is no different. All about a physco conjurer 8/10
 
Read Martin Ami's The Pregnant Widow last weekend.Can't say I'm a great fan of Amis fils but this wasn't at all bad.
Currently halfway through Freedom, which is just excellent.
