I thought it would be interesting to see what people read these days...I'm currently reading (though of course not at this moment since I'm writing here) Terry Pratchett's Equal Rites. Post on! (I really hope someone does post here...)

I'm re-reading 'fragile things' by Neil Gaiman, and 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins.

Yeah, I'm reading Romeo and Juliet for school... We read it as a class, but we only got through two scenes and I have to write a report on it if I want to take AP English.

I've got the God Delusion too. Bought it to look clever :*), but also because I love Dawkins' TV shows.

At the mo, I'm reading Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Not the Mr Rochester I know and love, but it's a stunning book.
Also, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque.

I've got The God Delusion, too! I just haven't read it yet. My brother gave it to me along the Bible.

But currently I am reading Gone With The Wind, Les Misérables, and The Phantom of the Opera.

I am currently reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and I have no idea what to think of it at the moment.

I am also searching for another book to read also because I have just finished The Vampire Armand by Ann Rice.

I am currently reading Love's Enduring Promise by Janette Oke, it's a must read! (But read the first one in the series first, Love's Enduring Promise is the second one)

Quick question, What is The God Delusion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_God_Delusion

The God Delusion is a 2006 bestselling non-fiction book by British biologist Richard Dawkins... (blah blah Oxford blah blah)

As I understand it, the 'response' books published after it are just as interesting.

I believe the point that Dawkins asserts is that those who ascribe to a religion are simply experiencing insanity in a socially acceptable group setting.

I've said recently that videos of pentecostal services bear a striking resemblance to raves, minus the drugs of course.

So as not to hijack this thread...

I am reading Twilight (peer pressure!) YOUR HEART BELONGS TO ME (Dean Koontz), Tess of the D'Urbervilles (Hardy) and another Hardy book (which I can't recall the title of at the moment)

The only thing that's put my off reading TGD is that there has been a lot of criticism of Dawkins as being 'anti-religion/anti-God'. Might be interesting, though, for the sake of the hype.
Incognito Temptation, I know what you mean about Wuthering Heights wanted so much to like it! But it left me cold. Hope you can get into it, though. I suppose I'm too sceptical ;)
Mercury, good choice with Tess. Haven't read it in an age but loved it immensely.

God is real, and he loves me and you, too, no matter if you think he's real or not.
And by the way, I am not crazy.

God bless!

I really hope this doesn't turn into a debate on God. So, to attempt to avoid that kind of outcome, I'm going to change the subject!

'Frozen Fire' by...uh...Tim Bowler, I think? Not very far. It's pretty good so far, but not fantastic. The cover art is awesome, though. :D

I am reading the Desire by Nicole Jordan. A little while I was reading Mysterious by Nora Roberts.

I am currently looking for another book to read.
