A shitty one...but at least its not Old Eng. thank god!

The guy that translated this version lived in a cave with his mother/wife (so says the lady who was in charge of the cash register when I bought it)...so you can understand that his point of view is, a little odd, to say the least.

Now I'm reading Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught (GREAT book...for the ladies) I started it about 2 days ago and I'm almost done, but I don't want it to end. :(

JUst finished Reading
Choke and
Invisable Monster.

I am now reading , The Templar Revelations.

I just started reading The Elder Gods by David Eddings. So far my opinion seems to be a little higher than the average reviews but I can see it's going no where fast. I wouldn't have given it a chance if I hadn't enjoyed Eddings' other books.

reading dracula by bram stoker

next up i got a number of short stoires by edgar allen poe, unless some of the other books i ordered turn up in time

reading the dragonlance chornicales


yes all of them


by marget weis and tracy hickman

I started/finished Da Vinci code last night. Someone said earlier in the thread that it was a cheap thriller, and in a way I agree with them. What kept me going was the attention to detail and all the puzzles that I'd try to figure out before the characters do (I mean, APPLE, come ON people...). Anyway, it was a fun afternoon. =)

That was me. I felt just like you do--it was interesting, but was in no way as good as it is made out to be.

Last Man Standing, David Baldacci.

Merely a fast filler book. Im looking forward to getting back into my Tolkien :)

My english novels for english class :D

It has a bunch of poetry in it. Not my favorite course, but will give it a shot ;)

Thick book though :D

Splitting time between Star by Star and the Bible. The Old Testament God is a jerk, but he sure loves the Isrealites. The Yuuzhan Vong are just jerks.

Finally getting back to the Tolkien. Reading The Hobbit right now. I think then I will go through the Lord of the Rings again, and then on to the Silmarillion.

What I'm reading
 

The Victorious Opposition, by Harry Turtledove. Master of alternative history.

I'm reading a Macromedia Flash MX 2004 book, and "The Photoshop CS Book for Digital Photographers"


I really only read tech books these days or things relating to computers

"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel...so far so good

Just got done with "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" by Tom Robbins...brilliant just like all of Robbins books.

Finished The Hobbit, on to The Silmarillion.

"Skin Tight" - Carl Hiassen

I'm having some serious problems getting into Quicksilver, Stephenson's latest. This is the first book of his that I've been able to put down, which is disappointing. I'll try to read some more today...

Norman Cantor - Inventing the Middle Ages. It's a set of biographies of great medievalists and capsule assessments of their ideas.

'The Death Ship' by B. Traven
and
'The Society Of the Specticle' by Guy Debaud

on to read next pile:
'Big Sur' by Jack Kerouac
'Fierce Invalids From Hot Climates' by Tom Robbins
'One Hundred Years Of Solitude' by Marquez

recently finished:
'The Other Wind' by Ursula K. Le Guin
'Return of the King' (for the third time) by Tolkien

I'm currently reading American Psycho. Excelent book.

that's an excellent book

"A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers. I like it so far.

Karate-Do: My Way of Life by Gichin Funakoshi

It amazing that Ive devoted so much of my life to Shotokan but Im just now reading the founders autobiography

Refiner's Fire by Mark Helprin. If you get the chance, check out "winter's tale" by the same author. great story

Just finishing up "The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass" so that I can read #5, "The Wolves of Calla"

It had been so long since I've read them, I decided to catch up and re-read the entire series. I can't believe how much I had forgotten about the storyline.

I think this is Stephen King's best work!!

Wolves was great. I consider it his most compelling DT book yet. Previously, I switched between Wastelands and Drawing Of The Three. If you haven't read Insomnia, I recommend that for its DT connection; it's almost like it creates a Dark Tower religion!

Currently: From A Buick 8 - Stephen King (Christmas present)

Heh, I'm reading the exact same book-what do you think about how it's written? It was a little distracting at first...

And they match your avatar!

I've had to have reread those books 5 times by now. Good stuff...

reading lord of the rings again
:)

Crossroads of Twilight - Robert Jordan

It's good, much better than "And You Shall Know Our Velocity," his second book.

For me, I'm between books right now, but I've got a huge list of recommendations from the pile of books I've finished. The standouts:

"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel
"Lamb" by Christopher Moore

Im reading two books right now, Grendel, which i absolutely love and a biography on Reagan. Lets just say thats not quite as interesting.

Just started The Hitch-Hikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams. It's the funniest book I've read in a long time!

"The Mind of the Horse"

R.H. Smythe

It's a solid epitemological and phenomenological study of our equine friends...

Yes I did, and was quite intrigued by the connection.

Odd Thomas by Koontz. I'm pleased with this book. He's gotten much better since he started out. Though his ideas from book to book are often similar and his lead character generally shows the same sort of characteristics, there are enough distinctions to keep it enjoyable yet familiar. Next on the list, a couple novels by Phillip Dick.

E=MC²

the autobiography of the famous equation.

if you ever thought you were to dumb to understand (i did).
read this cracking book and impress those that dont cant or wont.

its not as dry as you would think.

I've been struggling through the Gunslinger...I keep picking it up, then putting it back down. Everyone tells me the series is well worth getting through the first book though, so I'll keep at it.

Also reading The House of Sand and Fog...

War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy...

God I'm a prat...
