What are you currently reading now? Are you enjoying it, would you recommend it?

I just started this, so can't really comment at the moment.

Currently reading this. I'm about halfway through and it's pretty interesting so far. I have no idea what the English translations are like though.

Pic is Sanshiro by Natsume Soseki.

Read the first half last night, will read the rest tonight. It's pretty fucking good. Very PKD-ish.

Just Wiki'd it, and it looks alright. I added it to my reading list, thanks mate.

Between books at the moment, just finished Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut.

I enjoyed both, and would recommend both. Steppenwolf is a bit more philosophical, and a bit harder to get through, but worth it.

Yes and yes.

It is decent for about the first 500 pages.

Then it's mediocre until about 800.

Then it's pure shit, but you've already read 800 pages so fuck if you're gonna stop at this point.

They all have a gang bang in the sewers.

Really?

I'm not one to stop a book until I've finished though, so it's too late to turn back now!

A Farewell To Arms

It's okay so far. I'd recommend it, yeah.

I tried reading The Fellowship of the Ring when I was 12, and the woods bored me so much...

Might read the series again after some time.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Only a hundred pages in, and fuck, how can Larsson make Swedish economics so interesting?
