Just curious: What are you reading right now?

Inspired by John Scalzi, I thought I’d poll all my readers out there and see what you are reading this weekend.

Books, magazines, blogs, whatever.

I’m reading Ross Macdonald’s Meet Me at the Morgue for fiction, Gotham Central Book 1: In the Line of Duty by Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark in the graphic novel category and since I’m leading a book club session on it in a couple of weeks, I’m planning on spending a fair bit of time wth Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Magazine-wise, I’ll be taking a look at the most recent issue of The New York Review of Science Fiction.

For those that are interested in following my reading adventures, I’m on GoodReads here.

    Just finished a biography of Eudora Welty and her novel The Ponder Heart (links to my reviews); currently reading The Optimist’s Daughter by the same author. Can’t work up much enthusiasm, I’m afraid; even though I can see why she’s a good writer, somehow her characters’ emotional dilemmas leave me cold and her comedy doesn’t make me laugh.

    The Vikings by Robert Ferguson
    Four Max Carrados stories by Ernest Bramah
    I’m about to pick up a romance for some really light reading.
    Plus I’m in the middle of Ring of Fire III by Eric Flint. Since it is a bunch of short stories, that’s not really difficult.

    Robert J. Sawyer
    The WWW Trilogy: Wake, Watch, Wonder

    Love him for his near-future tech and the “OMG this could really happen” factor.

    Hope’s Landfall By M J Murcott

    It is an interesting tale of exploration, no lasers and explosions but more real science than most science fiction books.

    Before that just completed David Gemmell’s Hero in the shadows

    which is very similar to the other Drenai saga books combining an assassin magic and morality.
