What are you reading?

I finished the first volume of Ian Doescher's Shakespearean Star wars book.
It is hilarious!

I don't read for pleasure often but I was handed "The Giza Power Plant" by Christopher Dunn. He's been on Ancient Aliens a couple of times.

Anyway, it's a provocative read. Can't say what he wrote is true, it's kinda' esoteric.

I'm reading the Jokes thread. I'm on page 41 now.

Meave Binchey: Sommerleuchten ( orig. Firefly Summer) fitting to our vacation in Ireland.

David Baldacci's: End Game

"Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them."
--from THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME (2004) by Mark Haddon

I wish I hadn't yet read this book - it would mean I still had this wonderful story to look forward to reading.

Louis de Bernières: Birds without wings (2005)

It took me a while to get into this book. "The story is set in Eskibahçe, a small fictional village in southwestern coastal Anatolia during the 1900s, spanning World War I and the era of Turkish nationalism. The Battle of Gallipoli takes place halfway through the novel..." There are many characters with difficult names to remember at the beginning, and it starts off slowly describing everyday life in the village Eskibahçe. But as the story unfolds, it is amazing, terrifying and wonderful at the same time. Louis de Bernières is also the writer known for his novel "Captain Corelli's Mandolin".
I still have 200 pages wonderful reading to do.

I just finished "The Tattooist of Auschwitz" by Heather Morris and am now reading "Kasztner's Train" by Anna Potter.

Generally some short stories in the horror/weird/dark-fantasy realms by various authors, some Borges, some stories related to The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers.

Dracula by Bram Stoker.

I am going on holiday to Transylvania in September, walking in the Carpathian mountains.
As this is where part of the book is set I thought it would be interesting to read it before I go.
