Just finished Dune for the second time, The Eternals, Virgil's Eclogues, and the whole Sandman series (again) - I have this weird thing with needing to read more than one book at a time...
Currently in the middle of King's Dark Tower II - getting hooked and fidgetty about finishing the whole series in a month... --- "Nobody's creepy from the inside. Some of them are sad, and some of them hurt, and some of them think they're the only real thing in the whole world. But they're not creepy." -Death |

I think as soon as I'm done with Widdershins, I'm going to reread Thoreau's "Walden Woods."
Every day on the way to work, I pass this new development that they've in-aptly named "Walden." People that tear down trees and erect these awful wham-bam apartment complexes and then have the audacity to name it "Walden," well, I it just makes me want to poke their eyeballs out with my angry fingers. _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize?

That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket. - Goonies |

Zoneseek, I thank you. My book-buying budget does not.  ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

 Next up, Kerouac or Borges. |

 Rub salt in the wound, why don't you? I just started reading Transmetropolitan. Oh, man this is going to be cool. ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

You lucky bastard! You only get to start reading Transmet once, and that is SUCH a great moment. Enjoy it!  _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize?

I'm currently reading Louis de Bernières' Birds Without Wings. I loved Captain Corelli's Mandolin to bits, and I thought that Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord was highly effective (if at times very harrowing and sickening), but this book feels like a weaker retread. It feels as if de Bernières was trying to top CCM and failing quite hard. I'm roughly 150 pages into the novel, and so far I don't really care about any of the characters.

Just started "Attack of the Jazz Giants and other stories" by Gregory Frost.
Next up: Slapstick by Kurt Vonnegut Sister Emily's Lightship by Jane Yolen and Maus II by Art Spiegelman Not necessarily in that order. ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not so sure about the turnip. ~~ Terry Pratchett |

I KNOW! I'd heard how great it was on the board since I've been here, so I was expecting it to be good. But after like, page 3, I realized, Damn, this is going to be *really* good. I just finished the first TPB. I'll have to find volume 2 now. I loves it already! ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

"Swords and Deviltry" by Fritz Leiber, the first book of Fafhrd and Grey Mouser stories. It takes me back to my D&D gaming days.
I also just finished listening to "The Gnostic Gospels" by Elaine Pagels on disk. This book makes so much sense to me that I think I must be a gnostic at heart, and have been for a long time. |

Came across a cheap paperback edition of the Necronomicon. Heh.
It's the "Simon" Necronomicon, but looking through Amazon, the one by Donald Tyson sounds cool, while the one by L. Sprague de Camp is an astounding piece of wankery. Edit: That's Sprague, not Sprauge. Augh! The ague on both your houses. This message has been edited. Last edited by: ZoneSeek, |

I am finally reading Elric of Melnibone. Trying to catch up on things my friends who like fantasy read a long time ago but I was into other stuff. (Am still waiting to try my first RPG.
I think I would like the old paper ones more than the online ones.) |

I've stalled on 'Bloody Foriegners' so I'm currently browsing through Kingsley Amis's - 'The Kings English'.

Joplins Ghost
This book freaking rocks. Its about the life of one of the first black composers in america, born to former slaves in the late 1800's, his life was tragic. Its also about this girl who wants to be an RnB singer, and slowly as the book gets closer to the end the two worlds collide. The Ghost of Scott Joplin haunts Phoenix, and eventually starts composing his long lost music through her. Phoenix's career is out of control, her reletionships are falling apart and the ghost adds tons of chaos. Really, really good book and I'm only halfway through. |

My new summer goal is to reread the 3 Investigators series and the John Bellairs series.
