Most forums have a 'What are you reading thread?', so...well...here is a 'What are you reading thread?' I'll stop now.

Reading "The Chess Bible"

The last book I read was 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins.  I enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to anyone.

Agreed! I have yet to pick up Hitchen's "God is not Great" though.

Ok, here is a nice long list for fantasy readers

Brian Jacques (he is an extremely talented author)- Redwall series (haven't read his books in a while, he is for 3-7 grade, but he is good enough for anyone to read)

Tamora Peirce (too many series to write!! I may have misspelled last name, it could be i-e. She is awsome at writing, and I got to meet her in person!!!)

Eoin Colfer (also a good writer)- I recommend Artemis Fowl series, but he has written others that I've been told are good.

T.A. Barron (He is awsome at taking the holes in the Merlin legends and filling them to his content with beautifully painted stories, he doesn't need pictures)- The Lost Years of Merlin, The Great Tree of Avalon

Then there are Dan Brown and Dale Brown, two very good action writers. Don't get them mixed up!

As for what I'm reading, I'm re-reading them all!!!

And no Eragon and Harry Potter are not on the list. Cristopher Paolini has a writing style that... i don't know, there is something about it, and J.K. Rowling topped it with book 4 and dropped it with book 6

going to read harry potter and the deathly hallows 21 duhh.Next summer ill read next book in eragon series prob. called Empire.Artemis fowl if new one comes out...and...Demonata a new book of it is coming out november :)

ok, i usually enjoy ancient history and military history, but right now i am finishing a book by t.j. english entitled the westies. it's about the westside district of manhattan called hell's kitchen, and the gangs and gangsters who thrived in illegal trade in that area. it's a book about the mob, in a nutshell, particularly the irish mob. the years encompassed by the story are the 1960s to the 1980s plus a considerable amount of historical background.

just finished searching for bobby fischer this morning... and am about to start pandolfini's ultimate guide to chess

just finished harry potter and the deathly hallows on monday. i probably will be reading the 3 rd of eragon when it comes out

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yesterday and it was bloody brilliant! I am sad that there will be no more Harry Potter books, but the show must go on! LOL!

I am now finishing up "Play Winning Chess" by Yasser Seirawan and I already have "Play Winning Chess Tactics" lined up to read next. I am in for a great deal of excitement!!!

I finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Monday as well, and while I was reading it every chance I got from the moment I got it on Saturday afternoon, I have regret it ever since because so few people that I know have finished it, so I have no one to talk to about it.  Hmph.
