What book are you reading at the moment Pt2

The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 by Lawrence Wright

Gripping account of the people and events that lead up to the bombing, much of it it focused on Osama Bin Laden & Ayman al-Zawahiri. It also explores the CIA and FBI figures who failed to prevent the tragedy. It's a real eye-opener for myself since I had only a pretty vague notion of the background. I'm about 3/4 of the way through this one.

How is it?  I haven't started it yet, I have A Dance With Dragons part 1 by George RR Martin tempting me back into that series at the moment.

I have found the whole series to be a slog, Twilight I mean, to be honest.  All the books only seem to get any better in the last 100 pages and they drop off in the last 10-15 pages of that.  But I promised the Missus.  The Hunger Games is written in a similar way to Twilight but is immeasurably better.  I raced through the first 2 books, but the 2nd has left me a little fatigued.  But it is by no means a bad book.

Haven't quite got to the end of Mockingjay but it's exciting stuff at the moment. It's a change in format from the previous two books (spoiler)  but it's gearing up for a solid end. The first half of the book is paced slower than the second but it needs to be.

Enjoy Dragons, worth re-reading Feast for Crows beforehand if you haven't already. Not long until Season 2 is aired! as you can't really have yet another arena

I finished Feast just before Christmas, so it is still fresh in my mind.  I will start one of them this week.  I may get Mokingjay out of the way and start Dances on or around the 2nd of April, so i can spend as much time in Westeros as possible.

Started To Kill a Mockingbird on Saturday.

Mockingjay all done as of late last night, nice ending to a pretty good series. Some brutal stuff in there which won't survive the translation to the screen.

This morning I started the Bulldog Drummond book 'The black gang' - enjoyed the opening chapters so far.

About 10% through "The Name Of The Wind" and hugely enjoying it.

Hi,

I'm about 400-pages into the very lengthy novel that is Ayn Rand's "Atlus Shrugged". Enjoying it, but am glad I've got the small-sized US paperback version, and not the chunky UK one.

Am also reading Mark Kermode's hilarious triatise "The Good, The Bad, And The Multiplex", which - if you have any interest in cinema at all - you should go out and buy or borrow it from your local library immediately! A blinding title, and hilarious too. His chapters on blockbusters, 3D films, and UK cinemas willl have you doubled-over in tears!
