Fall of Giants by Ken Follett. It's an interesting chronicle of several people in Germany, Russia, England and the US during the First World War.

Re: Reading for pleasure! What are you reading now?
I'm reading "What Technology Wants" by Kevin Kelly. It's basically about the evolution of technology. It sounds kind of new-agey if you read the description, but it came highly recommended by someone I know.
Re: Reading for pleasure! What are you reading now?
I'm reading so many right now...where do i begin 
"A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey - absolutely love it, no matter what happened with Oprah
"The Passage" by Justin Cronin - great epic novel...so far so good
"UR" by Stephen King - only for the Kindle - not bad, not one of my favorites of King, but a good idea....
"Freakonomics" by Levitt and Dubner - just started it, but really really interesting
I just can't get enough.....

The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Only about ninty pages in, still a bit puzzling but the writer writes with such easy that anyone will fly through it. Can't beat russian literture

Re: Reading for pleasure! What are you reading now?
I'm reading a few at the moment...
The Collected Stories by Isaac Babel (whose writing is excellent, especially his Guy de Maupassant)
The Archivist's Story by Travis Holland (which, coincidentally, is also about revolutionary Russia, and features Babel as a character! A very enjoyable read...)
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (one of the best sci-fi I've ever read, and it seems so disturbing, the things he explains, and also very poetic.)
To the End of the Land by David Grossman (so, so sad!)

A biography of VP Joe Biden by Jules Witcover. The borders near me closed so I stocked up on biographies. LOL
Re: Reading for pleasure! What are you reading now?
Today only I finished Room by Emma Donoghue
The most riveting and suspenseful book I have ever read. It's a child's narration, full of imagination, pain and love.
