There's what are you eating, and listening to...so why not?

Unless I'm mistaken, most people here are avid readers. Get crackin'!

I'm reading "The Devil's Apocrypha: There Are Two Sides to Every Story" by John A. De Vito.
Hoo-yeah!

(especially in book two).

jesternl · Yankee Doodle Dutchie

Ender's Shadow bye Orson Scott Card. Parallel novel to Ender's Game. Excellent read, both of them. (duh)

also, Talon of the Silver Hawk by Feist. It's his new one, still set in Midkemia (w00t!) but long after the Demonwars.

The Hunt for Crimson September, or something like that.

Werebear · Daedalian Member

Green Eggs and Ham. I've had it out from my grade school library for 25 years, I think I owe some late fees.

I'm almost done. I've gotten to the "train" part.

casinopete · Emergency Backup Antrax

Forests of the Heart by Charles de Lint. Beartalon recommended him, this was one of only three de Lint books the bookstore had. Starts off a little bit slow, but picks up pretty quickly - very good so far.

Beartalon · 'Party line' kind of guy

A manual for Flash Programming and my university psychology book. I usually have at least two books on the go at any one time.

casinopete - hope you enjoy that story. Perhaps I'll pick it up again so we can discuss it when you're done.

MatthewV · Daedalian Member :_

Are You My Mother? I think that is pretty good so far, and I am curious on how it will end. I am at the part with the old car right now.

I've just finished Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami and I'm about to start Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Pi · Sir, I bear a rhyme ....

What was sputnik sweetheart like? I reah Norwegian wood and really liked it, should I get this other?

rlp · Dragon Girl

Currently, Deep Secret, by Diana Wynne Jones. Expect that to have been finished by the end of the day.

jesternl · Yankee Doodle Dutchie

yeah, Ender's shadow is very good, I just bought the sequel to it, Shadow of the Hegemon... Hope it's just as good.

Orbiting · very ign-o-rable

Just finished Stanislav Grof's The Holotropic Mind.
Now reading a particularly dull book called Meetings with the Archangel, the author of which I don't recall, and which I wish I was done with. I hate not being able to stop in the middle of things

Ataraxy · Daedalian Member

I am currently reading The Reader by Bernard Schlink.

I've read a few Haruki Murakami including Sputnik Sweetheart, but not Norweigan Wood. My favorite was Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but I liked Sputnik Sweetheart too.

Lucky Wizard · Daedalian Member

I'm reading Terry Pratchett's Witches Abroad.

The fourth book in the Riftwar saga, A Darkness at Sethanon
I'm pretty sure at least one other GLer has read it.

jesternl · Yankee Doodle Dutchie

I've only read the first three.... they were pretty good though

Sami · Daedalian Member

Just finished Sputnik Sweetheart and Robert Graves's The White Goddess - both excellent. Mean to start on Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch next.

Gomez · candid chimera

Pi - I liked it. Not as much as other Murakami books I've read but it very readable. It's less surreal than everything else I've read by him and more personal and emotional. It's one of those books where you're sorry to come to the end of the last page. In a word it's very...intriguing.

Samadhi, i happen to own it

The whole series is excellent. Prince of the Blood is pretty good too, although set later on.

The Demonwar saga that takes place chronologically when Jimmy the hand grows up to become Duke James of Krondor is not as good as the riftwar books. It's not about James, however, it has entirely new characters, for the most part. Just at then end when pug's pov takes over is when you find a familiar character, and also a bit with James toward the end, but not very much of him.

his new trilogy, set even further in the future, when the demonwar children have grown up, so far compares well with the riftwar series. I haven't finished the book yet, but i'm close.

I have an autographed copy of the Bible

The Ktulu · Daedalian Member

I can't wait for Dark Tower V either, and because I have heard that a character from 'Salem's Lot will enter the storyline soon, that is what I'm reading.

Who autographed your Bible?

luminous · madre de succulante

Oh yeah! I bought a copy of Matt Groening's (he also does the simpsons, in case you are stupid) "work is hell" for twenty-three cents at a library book sale. Inside, I found a large drawing of binky (the main character), along with his signature, straight out of 1985. w00t!

Right now, I'm re-reading "the vampire lestat"

MatthewV · Daedalian Member :_

I finished Are You My Mother? and liked it. I am now almost done with Moby Dick and find it someone dry and hard to read.

fnord.

I am now reading Heritage of Hastur by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It is my first foray into the world of Darkover. So far, it seems excessively dry

I'm reading the sequel to The Still, The King by David Feintuch and Holy Shjit! It's farging good!
Just ask Hy, Is, Vinny and Huey. I'm a fairly stoic dude. And this book has been so emotionally pervasive that it has made me laugh out loud several times and cry twice.

It's really, really good.
