Currently reading?
I'm not sure if this is already a thread and if it is I appologize.
What are you reading right now and what are you thinking of it so far? maybe a brief summary? was it a referred work or just something you picked up? Would you suggest it to others? (Not all of these need to be answerred just posting some ideas )
I'm currently reading Snow by Orhan Pamuk, its very good so far, not my usual kind of novel but I'm enjoying it. I'd suggest it to those that enjoy edgy topics and don't mind a few unorthodox names here and there
Sorry, I guess. My aim was not to by any means to rebuke though that is apparently how it came across to you. I said it was a good topic idea, and never did I say I thought her to blame for posting it in the possibly incorrect section.

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
_________________ Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads ~ Henry David Thoreau
“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.” -Thich Nhat Hahn

I'm reading "Emile" by Jean Jaques Rousseau and "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, it was quite coincidental my picking up both these books at round about the same time, but I'm finding that they complement each other pretty well, perhaps Thoreau went via Rousseau in the process of developing his own distinctive point-of-view.
I realise that both of these books would probably better fit under the non-fiction section because both come under the genre of, I guess what would be termed practical philosophy, "Walden" is, in addition, an autobiographical account of Thoreau's two year experiment in being an extreme self-made man. But I'll put them under the fiction thread since I'm mainly a fiction reader, and also because these writers both speculate so much on ideal ways of living. I think that sometimes the line between philosophy and fiction can get a bit blurry.

I am lately committed to reading works of literature that I should have read by now but for some reason haven't. Having just finished Beowulf, I've started The Great Gatsby and I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

I'm currently reading Nathan's Run by John Gilstrap.
It's a fun and engrossing book. Nathan has the wit and innocence that makes him such a lovable character.
I wanna read Salem's Lot by Stephen King 'cause I've been looking for that book for a really long time. I can't seem to find it in any of the bookstores in our place.
