Stupid sleep cycles.

What was the last book your pup read?

Joshua: Book, I'm pretty sure is I, Robot. Helena tossed it across the room and he wanted to remember why she would.

Helena Ender's Game. Joshua recommeneded it.

Fantine: .... AHAHAHAH THAT IS FUNNY. Poor Fantine's broke and mostly illiterate.

Tommy read A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which Kate Barlow gave him, but he never finished it because he is Tommy and doesn't read.

Still too out of it to think of good answers, but I found this - to sum up, Nat comes from an era of Russian bad-assery, and is the norm, not the exception. :D

I LOVE THE NIGHT WITCHES. I love them sooooooooooooooooooo much. I may or may not have headcanoned that tiny little 14yo Nat had a crush or two on some of them.

Gordon probably read something like QED by Richard Feynman recently; it's relatively small and it's material he's familiar with, so he was able to steal the time for it.

Shephard hasn't had time to read much lately. In his idle moments he's more likely to be writing, because that silver hand of his isn't going to just stop scribbling the life stories of every Marine who died after the Black Mesa incident and the Combine invasion. The sooner he gets those written out the better.

Ellen recently did a reread of Ow, My Arm!: Large-Animal Obstetrics For The First-Year Medical Student. Just in case. Before that she read How To Avoid Huge Ships, because Moira Brown reprinted it and Ellen was curious as to what it contained. Turns out it's an actual maritime operations manual. Who knew.

Varric has more been writing books than reading them; he probably most recently read one of his own to make sure that he had continuity right for the sequel.

Ray may have been rereading his copy of Unpleasant Things It Is Sometimes Good To Know, or possibly Things It Is Not Good To Know At All.

I have no freaking clue what Medic or Mordin have been reading, and while Santo is a reader, the movie camera never zooms in close enough on his bookshelves to show what he's got.

Mary: Howards End

Carol: Promised the Moon: The Untold Story of the First Women in The Space Race

Stiles: Will Grayson, Will Grayson

Recently is kind of vague since I have started playing timey wimey games with Amascut. But there is a book she burned in recent canon that she burned in recent canon to keep the player character from gaining "murderous powers". That probably implies she read though it enough times herself to know that letting someone else read it would be bad. Even though spreading murderous powers far and wide is generally a good thing, according to her.

I don't know if Fairy Fixit has read much since she started stealing cable from other universes.

Hank: Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency by Nikola Tesla and The Adventures of Tintin: Explorers On The Moon

Jessica: What Happened to Lani Garver

Andrea: The Castaway Bride's Crimson Garter

Merlin - only reads the Big Book of Magic (which probably has another canonical name that eludes me.)

Bilbo - I can see him leisurely perusing Middle Earth's equivalent of Poor Richard's Almanac the night before Gandalf showed up, to figure out when's the best time to plant turnips.

Lydia - a textbook on differential equations, about which she will write a scathing review, pointing out al the errors.

The Ice King - How to Be a Ninja In 10 Easy Steps

Steve - he's catching up on the great literature that he missed the first time around. If I were evil I'd have him read 50 Shades of Gray...but I'm not that evil.

Jack - you know, I don't see him being much of a reader aside form newspapers.

Where is the DE ideas post again?

[boston_bruiser]

Right here.

[thebesteverseen]

You are the best!

[bjornwilde]

FYI, I also have the DE topic post as a link in my journals link panel.

Will: He hasn't read a book in a while. The way he keeps his reading up is to read the Bar's notice board.

Charles: Hee, he's like me and reading a lot. Let's see, he's reading one of his scientific journals, a book on psychology with a focus on preventing suicide for ideas on how to help Bruce, a paperback Agatha Christie that one of the CIA agents left in the room he uses to meditate and a book about the Trojan War that's trying to sort myth from fact.

William: A dime novel about a detective in New York.

Moist: Whatever books that Helena and Joshua leave around or that he sees them reading as he finds their taste eclectic and full of good ideas.

Jane: Various novels including rereading Tom Jones because she misses her Tom.

Demeter: Current papers, a new cookbook with some interesting baking ideas and the manuscript of a novel one of her neighbors is writing.

Sameth: A large collection of books from the Clayr and royal libraries about the history of the Old Kingdom as he tries to find anything he can on Wallmakers.

Tumnus: A variety of journals and histories about Narnia.

The Pirate King: Whatever Ruth picked up at their last stop, a novel, a history and perhaps some papers.

Are we allowed to include ancient texts and scientific journals, or does it have to be 'book store' type books (i.e. stuff that's been published for the general public)?
