Almost finished with Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

teshadoh · 08-14-2003, 03:24 PM

Choke was a cool book, I liked it. I just finished Lamb - it's a fictional account of Jesus (of course it's fictional) & his best friend Biff. It recounts all of their adventures.

By the way - how was Life of Pi smarm?

Just finished it today after my post. I am very confused about the ending (what exactly happened with the Rocks?). Shoot me a PM if you can explain it

.

Just picked up "Stiff" today, its seems interesting and it's a true story about corpses

That is one of my all time favorites! I've re-read it several times.

I'm going through a classic children's lit/juvenile fiction stage. Just finished "Five Children and It," and I am reading "The Indian in the Cupboard." (Loved them both, great summer reading)

Just about have the fifth Harry Potter memorized. Papa was kind enough to send the youngest the Audio book for his birthday, we're on the 3rd repition now, and I read it all the way through once.

Johnny Rotten · 08-14-2003, 07:36 PM

About to dig into Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. They're supposed to be the pinnacle of Russian science fiction. If you Google, you can find a text file of this book, but I won't link to it, because I don't know if it's legit.

bundy · 08-14-2003, 09:14 PM

just finishing off The Rules Of Attraction (Easton Ellis)...

I liked Life of Pi... I couldn't put it down after I had read about 1/4th of it. My wife really enjoyed it, as well.

Chytrak · 08-15-2003, 05:43 PM

Just finished My American Journey by Colin Powell. Pretty good book.

Started reading Art Of War by Sun Tzu.

crewsor · 08-15-2003, 07:26 PM

John Grisham, The King of Torts. It was OK, but his books all seem too similar. Think I'll switch up to some horror next.

Tandem · 08-15-2003, 10:55 PM

Sadly I must report ...

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Networking"

I'd just plum forgotten so much from lack of use.

titsmurf · 08-17-2003, 08:26 PM

Black house, by stephen kind and Peter Strauss. I used to really enjoy Stephen King when I was a kid, and I'm always enjoy reading his work out of nostalgia for those days.

I've also got some Asimov lined up. I'm gonna try to finish one of his books this time.

mml · 08-18-2003, 10:47 AM

Finished "The War of the Flowers" by Tad Williams last week - good fantasy book, short for Williams it is a complete story in one reasonably long book.

Now I am reading "Neuromancer" by William Gibson and "Guns, Germs & Steel, The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared Diamond. Both are fantastic.

Cheers to everyone reading Herman Hesse and if you have nevery read anything by Neil Gaiman, you should.

mml · 08-18-2003, 10:51 AM

Oh yeah,

Beltruckus · 08-18-2003, 11:27 AM

"Birds of Prey" by Wilbur SMith One of the greatest authors imo, If you have not read River God by the same author I HIGHLY suggest it!!

Darkblack · 08-18-2003, 11:31 AM

1984 followed by Animal farm again.

Working on my socialism. It was getting weak.

I'm working on a few books right now...

Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Tales by HP Lovecraft
