What are you reading?

hey there... just wondering, what are you guys reading these days?

I just recently finished a book of poetry by Eric Victorino called "Coma Therapy". He was the lead singer of a band called Strata. It was actually one of the first times I've read poetry on my own...in the past I've been forced to read it because of school

The book was really good, some of the poems gave you insight into what it's like to be a touring musician, while others were just about events that took place in his life.

Now, I'm about to start reading "the Husband" by Dean Koontz. I'm a big fan of his books so I'm looking forward to reading this.

So, what about you?

I'm about to start reading "99 Coffins" by David Wellington - it's a historical vampire tale. I saw this book at B&N a few weeks after seeing the movie 30 days of Night and had to buy it. I've always loved vampire stories, even as a kid

on a sidenote...my most favorite author is Stephen King...he is just amazing, I have read almost all of his books . I have Everything's Eventual which consists of some short stories - all on the freaky/oddball side of course

Dean Koontz is great as well, I've read alot of his stuff.

Hmmmm I've never noticed this thread before. I don't get alot of spare time for leisure reading,but when I do, I usually pick up something by Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, or Dean Koontz. I am currently reading the latest by Dean Koontz called Odd Hours.

i've got a couple of things going on at the same time, depending on my mood. one is Dante's Inferno. slowest read ever since i'm reading the translations as well as the commentary. other thing is sci-fi....The Nonborn King by Julian May (part of the Sage of Pliocene Exile series).

Ive been reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. He is the author who wrote the Davinci Code. I love all of his work because he includes really organizations and statistics, so it is difficult to seperate reality from fiction.
