Same sort of idea as the what are you currently listening to thread, just post what you're listening to.
Again, avoid posting without listing the book you're reading, and don't post the same book over and over and over and over and over again. Unless it's War and Peace - I'll let you off for that. (I should really read that, but I keep putting it off...)

Open Skies, Closed Minds - Nick Pope
An ex-UK Ministry of Defence UFO adviser's story of why he now believes in aliens and UFOs. It's quite interesting even if I disagree.

Allow me to go OMG SQUEE over that third one. JS&MN is one of my favourites. The author's last name is Clarke. =)

A biography on Alexander the Great. The title is simply Alexander the Great. Paul Cartledge.
I'm reading Darren Shans Slawter at the moment. Quite good but not as much as the first or second.
The Sandman Volume Seven and A Room to Let (Charles Dickens)

Yes, Slawter was very good.

I'm rereading PG because I have nothing else.

Yes, I'm not going to have anything new for quite some time. Guess I'll go reread Wish List, or some other Colfer book. Anyone read any of Heinlein's work?

Yes, I have.

My dad forced me into it, though. I like A Door Into Summer, which is what I think it's called, except for the whole almost pedifile thing.

I don't think I've heard of that one. I like Tunnel in the Sky.

I never read that one.

I also read one called Star something. It was about an actor who took a ploitician's place.
