What are you currently reading.

The only thought popping in my head when hearing 'Neil Gaiman' in any capacity is 'oh, goodie!'. Gaiman is pretty cool. 

Currently reading 'The Amalgam Age of Comics: The DC Collection'. Dark Claw kicks ass! 

[Libraraptor]

Currently I´m pretty much into literature, Cesare Pavese, Peter Rühmkorf and Hermann Hesse galore!
Plus, I really like male literature, that doesn´t mean porn or erotica, but things like "Eisenhans" of Robert Bly or Steve Biddulphs "Manhood".

 Jurassic West: The Dinosaurs of the Morrison Formation and Their World by Foster
Great presentation of information easy to read.

The Age of Dinosaurs in South America (Life of the Past)  by Novas

Both these books are very good at presnting the sucessive faunas in time.  If you want to know who lived with what at a particular time both these books are very good.

"Once and Future Giants: What Ice Age Extinctions Tell Us About the Fate of Earth's Largest Animals" by Sharon Levy, the title pretty much sums it up. Interesting read but also quite depressing, we truly do live in a damaged ecosystem, one that has been damaged for over 13,000 years. Before that I read "Carnivorous Nights: On The Trail of the Tasmanian Tiger" which was a really entertaining book but again...slightly depressing. I think my next book will not be about extinctions brought on by humans. I do highly recommended both though.

Earth Before The Dinosaurs, by Sebastien Steyer. Quite a good read so far (the first 60 pages or so are an excellent summary of early tetrapod evolution and limb development.  Reading this one before I read Jennifer Clack's "Gaining Ground" second edition.

This! Although it doesn't have any words, so does it count?




I love Dark Horse comics

[Battatitan]

What an interesting thread  Great books everyone. I should probably pick up a few of those myself.

As for my current reading, I'm steadily getting through a series of Agatha Christie books; I have to say, I love them! Right now I'm reading At Bertram's Hotel and I've just finished A Caribbean Mystery. It's no surprise that Bertram's is just as enthralling as the rest. 

Happy reading!

The Plague Dogs, by Richard Adams.
Actually read this first about 30 (!) years ago.  Very English/Lakeland  dialog.  A good read, tantalizing in the sense that one can just sort-of, barely remember what happens next.  Recommended for anglophiles.  Having worked on occasion with animals in some similar contexts in the US, at least I can say that humane procedures have improved  since this time.

I almost read that one and I've seen the animated movie a couple times. Have you read Watership Down also by Richard Adams? I've read that one and it is among my favorites, I should read it again.
Right now I'm reading "Illumination in the Flatwoods: A Season with the Wild Turkeys" by Joe Hutto. Excellent book about this man's experiences imprinting wild turkey chicks, there is also a PBS documentary about it as well.

I always heard that watership down was a movie that scared kids who were took to see it by mistake.


I am now reading several Text Books for College .

Both the movies "Watership Down" and "The Plague Dogs" aren't really appropriate for younger children without parental guidance. They both contain scenes of death and suffering and blood (The Plague Dogs more so). That said, "Watership Down" was my favorite movies growing up and one of the first movies I ever recall watching and it didn't scare or traumatize me.

Right now, I'm reading one of my all-time favorite books "The Curse of Chalion" by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Avatar: An Activist Survival Guide

I'm not all that fond of Cameron's Avatar, but this is a fun little book. It's kinda like The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island (BEST BOOK EVER!), except the artwork is not nearly as exciting and it's Avatar instead of King Kong.

I've read Watership Down and some of The Plague Dogs. I stopped reading Plague Dogs 'cause it was too sad and disturbing

I'm having a hard time getting through it the second time, now that I know more about these things.  The Lakeland accent is a bit of a challenge as well; 'roondaboot hyers, ya hinney!'.
 
Still I'm determined to finish it, again.
