I just finished Haruki Murakami's "Hardboiled Wonderland and The End of the World." Good, good stuff.
Now, I'm rapidly devouring "Fragile Things." "You pass through the places, and the places they pass through you, but you carry 'em with you on the soles of your travelin' shoes." --The Be Good Tanyas, "The Littlest Birds" http://hatchingphoenix.livejournal.com www.xanga.com/hatching_phoenix |

"You Suck" by Christopher Moore. I feel like I should have read Bloodsucking Fiends first (the only one of his books I haven't read.) It's okay so far. I'm not a huge fan of the vampire genre, but I'm a huge fan of Moore.

I just finished reading "Kid Kosmos" by Jim Starlin.
Now... I'm writing a review for Broken Frontier. Great graphic novel, by the way.

Went to the first day of RoDcon on Saturday and came home with a bag full of books. Brought a bigger bag on Sunday, filled that too.
Alice Sebold: Lucky Arturo Perez-Reverte: The Club Dumas, The Fencing Master Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man, something Wicked This Way Comes Tom Robbins: Still Life With Woodpecker And some other stuff. Won a David Sedaris book on a trivia question, by virtue of knowing who wrote V for Vendetta. My Sandman: Dream Hunters went into donations, they auctioned it off, I think. |

I like threads like this. Gives me a good place to find out what to read next.
Currently reading Isabel Allende's "Kingdom of the Golden Dragon". |

American Originals: Homemade Varieties of Christianity by Paul K. Conkin (for class).
It needs some help in the readability department. And it assumes a lot of prior knowledge of the reader, even though it's supposed to be written for a general audience. But the content is really interesting. Currently reading about the Mormons. |

Re-reading Good Omens, just got four more copies so I figured I might as well put one to use.
Also reading The Yowie: In Search Of Australia’s Bigfoot by Tony Healy and Paul Cropper. |

Three Musketeers!
 "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

Is this the first time you've read them, Mythos?

I just finished Fight Club, and now I'm going to read Memoirs of a Geisha.
I wish I could find this Viriconium book everyone mentions, but it's nowhere near me. "Things to do. People to damage." sort-of vaguely here. |

Yes, Scoundrel. That it is. Sometimes a little hard to focus on, but there are some very awesome parts that more than make up for that.  ______________________________ Do not leave me with a bowl of anything for an extended period of time. |

I hear you, Mythos. Seasons of Mist is where it really picked up for me. There's a couple of slow spots after that (I struggled through a Game of You), but once you get all the way through to The Wake I think you'll be happy.

Neil himself is the one who said that books have gender, and A Game of You is very female. I actually like it quite a lot. Note that I said female, not "girlie."
