What are you currently reading?

[Polaris]

rereading Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens for a school project

for rec. reading though, I've read bits and pieces of some stargazing and starlore books on my book shelf

[Bassy]

i do recreational reading because i cannot read for school. its always boring

[Silly Tiny Frog]

I'm currently reading Hugh Howey's Shift. The first part of the series was really entertaining and this one is too. It's just a shame that it really hasn't had any unpredictable plot twists so far.

I'll read The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost next. Twin Peaks is so rad.

[MeatVegetable]

I am currently reading DeadMen Walking by Steve Lyons, probably going to reread it a few times as well.

[Mousy]

I just finished with The Handmaid's Tale. I saw that it was going to be a series made on Hulu I think and got really interested in the trailer, found out that hulu was no longer free and settled for the book. Haha!

[Cloudy]

Currently rereading my Tegami Bachi incomplete manga collection. I came across someone mentioning the show/manga on some obscure forum and, whelp, memories came flooding back lmao

[Lemon Cheesecake]

mainly reading news/magazine articles - haven't read a book in ages!

[Polaris]

Rereading How to Lie with Statistics just for the fun of it.
And also to impress my Stats teacher and get bonus points hopefully

"There are three kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics."

[Lemon Cheesecake]

what else is funny in that book? <and why not get bonus points for a class, every bit helps!>

[Polaris]

Hmm... Well, to name a few of my favorites:

"A difference is a difference only if it makes a difference." (True!!)

“The secret language of statistics, so appealing in a fact-minded culture, is employed to sensationalize, inflate, confuse, and oversimplify.”

“IF YOU can’t prove what you want to prove, demonstrate something else and pretend that they are the same thing. In the daze that follows the collision of statistics with the human mind, hardly anybody will notice the difference. The semiattached figure is a device guaranteed to stand you in good stead. It always has.”

[Lemon Cheesecake]

OH! I like the last quote!

[Bassy]

Im reading mutiple books at once. If I ever find time to read, I will try to start reading Miss Pegerines Home For Peculiar Children. I refuse to see the movie once I finish the book. I have the whole series for a while now.

[Diana]

ooh! when you see the movie, let me know! I read miss peregrine's four or so years ago, so I don't quite remember everything, but when I watched the movie I was like wait, I don't remember this at all!


For me, I am reading through the entire Ellery Queen series... I am on book three now!

[MonkeyGirl18]

I need to finish reading Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I like it, I've just didn't read anything for the longest time.

I am interested on how the books translates into the movie, though. Hope they don't ruin it in the movie.

[Watery Star]

I'm interested in that book too.
The power went out Monday night and I read some of Heidi before my tablet died.
