If it's crap... We'll tell you
What Book(s) Are You Currently Reading?
I Thought there should be a thread where we can all could discuss books we are currently reading, recently read, or are planning to read. Feel free to provide your own recommendations/opinions about books you like/dislike.
Right now, I'm reading The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson. It's no Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but still a good read. He hadn't fully developed his Gonzo approach when he wrote it, more Hemingway than Hunter.

..."Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas" is not Thompson's best book. "Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72" is.
Right now I'm in the middle of re-reading all my Kinky Friedman novels.

Been reading some reference, lately.
How NOT to Write a Novel by Howard Mittelmark and Sandra Newman-- a very funny and informative guide to all the mistakes new authors make writing their stories that provides examples using actual exerpts from poorly-written books.
Cult of the Amateur by Andrew Keen-- provides a disturbing glimpse at how Web 2.0's user-friendly technology undermines traditional media and threatens our culture. Everyone should read this book.

Anathem by Neal Stephenson. Slow and confusing start, but it's really starting to get interesting and easier to understand as I read further.

Just finished The Guardian, which is the sequel to The Sentinel. SUPER fucked up, but great.

Star Wars: Republic Commando - Hard Contact.
This is probably the best Star Wars novel I've read. I'm looking forward to reading the others.
