Seen these kinds of threads on other forums, so why not here/
Which book are you reading and what books have you read in the past?
Have just started reading "Witch Hunt" by Ian Rankin, so far it's pretty good, have only read the first chapter so far though. Will give you a reivew when I've finished it
When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army Boys, we'll be coming down the road!
A very interesting read, though at only 200 pages long I question whether the £23 I paid for it was really justified, but so far the content seems to be making up for it.
Statistically, people who have had the most birthdays tend to live the longest.

"John Betjeman's Collected Poems" and "Molvania - A land untouched by Modern Dentistry", a spoof travel guide that's not quite as funny as the authors would have you believe.

I hear it's a good read with some fabulous information and great proofreaders
I don't really read any novels. I have read some, mostly by John Irving.
Other than that i usually read magazines with statistics and quick information pieces. Any subject goes. I like information.
I am so smart, i am so smart... S-M-R-T... i mean S-M-A-R-T

See No Fear - Robert Baer. It's ok, so far. The book inspired the movie Syriana.
Last few books:
State of Fear - Michael Crichton (Okayish... Airframe was better) Seeds of Fire - Gordon Thomas (Great book! Although too detailed/boring in the middle) The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho (One of my best reads)

I am currently reading Bullshit.
No, seriously. "Bullshit", an essay by Harry G. Frankfurt, a Princeton philosophy prof.
Then I recently read
"Digital Fortress" by Dan Brown,
"Harry Potter VI" (I confess),
"The Theory of Poker" by David Sklansky,
and I just gave up on "The Hammer of Eden" by Ken Follett after reading about a 3rd of it, and seeing no motivation why to read on.
