Hope this hasn't been done before.
I'm just interested.

I'll start, I'm reading "Terug Naar Oegstgeest", a Dutch classic work of literature about small town life.
The last English book I've read is Lord Of The Flies.

What are you reading?

Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books. Did you enjoy it?

I'm currently reading Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and Pieces of Hate And Other Enthusiasms by Heywood Broun

I'm in the middle of 2 textbooks - The Practical Guide to Teaching Social Studies and When Kids Can't Read: What Teachers Can Do. But I'm finishing up Decision Points in iBooks and am going to start Rob Lowe's memoir today. (I read memoirs of all kinds, of Presidents on both sides, various celebrities, etc.)

The next book we're supposed to read in English is Lord of the Flies so I'm pretty excited about that. Heard it's pretty good.

Cosmopolis by Don Delillo. My favourite writer of all time, not my favourite of his but damn good nonetheless. His writing style is so perfect and his books are philosophical and thought-provoking without being in any way pretentious. Highly recommended, start with White Noise if you haven't read any of his work.

"The Arabs" by Eugene Rogan. I'm in general really interested in learning about the rest of the world, and with how much Middle Eastern cultures are in the news, I thought it'd be a good idea to read a book like this, which should give me a good background into understanding why things are working the way they are over there:

I'm pretty excited to read it. Everyone that I've talked to has either loved it or hated it.

Lord of the Flies is a really great book.... too bad my high school English teacher beat it to death.... Still, you should enjoy it!

At the moment I'm reading The Greatest Show on Earth by Richard Dawkins .... damn I love that man.

I lied. I didn't start Rob Lowe's memoir. Instead I'm reading this:
