Does anyone here enjoying reading? I have done a lot of reading in the last few years, both fiction and non-fiction. My non-fiction interests include martial arts and ancient history. As for fiction, I love medieval fantasy, and also some of the classics.
Currently, I am reading Secrets of the Samurai, the Martial Arts of Fuedal Japan. It is very interesting, and gives quite interesting information on the fuedal classes of Japan at the time, the fighting arts involved, and the like. I am learning a lot.
How about everyone else? What are you reading now?

Supertraining by Mel Siff. Great read for the serious exercise buff.
With respect,
Sohan

I finished Eragon last week. I asked for the sequel for Christmas so I'm killing time by reading David Eddings' Belgariad series.

The sequel is good, too. I can't wait to read the third one, Inheritance.
With the series being a trilogy, there should be three movies as well. We'll see if it can run like Lord of the Rings did.

| I love reading, both fiction and none fiction, I'm rarely seen without a book in my hand. I'm currently reading English Passengers by Matthew Kneale, which is fantastic, and A Very Short Introduction to Aglicanism by Mark Chapman, which is not at all short but very interesting. |

Right now I'm reading Fellowship of the Ring. It's pretty good so far.
BTW bushido, Inheiritance is the name of the trilogy, and the name of the third book hasn't been released yet. However, it's rumored to be Empire. Check out www.shurtugal.com for some more info.  |

It's been a while since I "tasted" a normal book. I have been busy reading and writing web design articles and tutorials and this kinda draw me from the normal reading I used to enjoy so much .. so I am afraid I have to say... not quite reading anything right now
