Default Which book are you currently reading?

Hi!
I love reading and have read a couple of books. I started reading after I read "The Da Vinci Code", I liked reading the book so much that I started reading other novels also and slowly started liking reading. I am currently reading a very good book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" penned down by J K Rowling. She has written about 6 books and all of these were gifted to me by a friend of mine for Christmas. He knows this kind of books I like. I am enjoying reading this book. What are you currently reading? It would be great fun to know what the other here people are reading. Any one has good books for gardening? Please tell me. I have not any books for Gardening.

I think this is a great basis for a thread!

I am blessed, or cursed depending on your point of view with the abilty to read at great speed, i can read an average sized paper-back in one evening with ease.. whilst this is a useful skill it also means i have to buy lots of books in order to keep-up when i was about 16 (i am 21 now) i was buying 8-10 books a month and though i have cut down now i have somwhere in the region of 800-1200...

Currently i am re-reading "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman, one of my all time-favourite books i would recomend it to anyone after i finish that I intend to read the Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkein a book i long possessed but never got around to reading.

I'm reading "Allotment gardening" by John Harrison - great book picked it up for £1.99 in the works. He has some great tips for fixing dreaded stuff in the garden like mildew which is a major issue in my veg growing world

I am reading Sonic Scamp and Spike's Pirate Adventures. It's a good read if I do say so myself. Marmite.

I think you're blessed ;-) My reading has improved a lot since I learned about the PhotoReading Whole Mind System. Never used it on fiction though...
