Question What are you reading? - Page 35 - Orbiter-Forum

Lopukhovsky, Lev N. The Vyazma Disaster. (in Russian) Moscow, Exmo/Yauza, 2008.

I'm waiting for Scrambles Amongst the Alps and The Ascent of the Matterhorn, both by Edward Whymper (who led the first ascent of the Matterhorn), to ship.

(not the actual cover, but an engraving of Whymper's party summiting the Matterhorn)

I chose them because I have been interested in the Alps lately and hope to hike the Haute Route one day.

I just finished "First Strike" by Eric Nylund, which was a decent read for a videogame novel. I've read most of the "Halo" novels now.

Technical papers on the SSME.. Good bathroom reading especially when it comes to the combustion chamber part.

I just bought this book off of Barnes & Noble. Has anyone read this one yet? If so, was it good?

Turbinator · 09-07-2011, 01:54 AM

CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL ISSUES, for an Anthropology class. It's as fun to read as it is to watch paint dry.

Just finished Al Worden's bio Falling to Earth. I have read quite a number of astronaut bios, & thought it was very good, right up there with the best of them. Not quite as good as Collins' Carrying the Fire, but that's in a class all by itself. Definitely an interesting take on the cover scandal, the crew dynamic and especially certain NASA brass at the time.

Toole's "A Confederacy of Dunces". and back issues of Game Informer.

Scav · 09-13-2011, 03:27 AM

"At All Costs." David Weber.

My first time posting in this thead. (I think

)

At the moment I'm reading Looking for Alibrandi for English at school, personally I don't really like it, I'm not quite sure what it is about it, maybe it's simply the fact that we read The Outsiders first, and that was a great book.

And if you could count them, I'm currently reading two visual novels, Narcissu and True Remembrance both of which I'd recommend to anyone who likes visual novels, or anyone who's never read a visual novel and is looking for a good place to start.

I just finished reading Dune by Frank Herbert, Now I'm reading Paradise Lost by John Milton.

Good choice.

Recently finished The Light of Other Days by Stephen Baxter/Arthur C. Clarke. Might be my favorite sci-fi read of the season.

Currently reading Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds. Not bad.

In the queue:

Redemption Ark - Alastair Reynolds
Absolution Gap - Alastair Reynolds
The Dilbert Principle - Scott Adams
