What are you currently reading?
MrSteevo:
I just finished the Book "Atlas Shrugged". Now will look into a different Philosophy with "War and Peace" (which I hope isn't as boring as my friend said)
Joseph:
War and Peace is excellent. If you can make it through a chapter of Ayn Rand, I can't see it being a problem for you. Seriously. Which translations are you going to read?
Yesterday I read The Breast by Philip Roth, which was absolutely hilarious. Very self-consciously Kafka/Gogol-esque, it's an absurd little book. Engaging and short enough to read in one sitting, I highly recommend it, though it's still quite far from my favourite Roth.
Began Jealousy by Alain Robbe-Grillet. It's really interesting so far, a novel written to evoke film-like imagery. Before now I'd only read about Grillet, who originally came to my attention due to reading Nabokov mention him repeatedly in interviews. Going to try to finish it up before I go to bed, as it is quite short.

Holy crap Kundera is awesome. I just finished the joke a few days ago. Has anyone here read The Art of the Novel? best book about writing I've read.
Right now the only thing have access to in english is Razor Wire Pubic Hair/i], by Carlton Mellick, and it's not nearly as good as his other stuff so far. Anyone else here into Bizarro fiction?
Ikrik:
Working on Moby Dick
Hyperion
and Thirst for Love
First is by Melville...second is by....I don't know but I almost want to say it's Dan Simmons and the third is by something Mishima...damnit, all my books are in boxes or are two far away.
