Krazy Kat: The Comic Art of George Herriman
and Kafka's The Trial Although it's hard to push myself to finish the latter. I like it fine, but reading a free, Project Gutenberg text file of it is hard on the eyes. |

Always meant to read that after watching Pulp Fiction umpteen times. I might have to hunt it down if you like it so much... _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time.

Roger Zelazney and whoever... that series that they did that started off with Bring Me The Head of Prince Charming. finished that. meh. Now reading If At Faust You Don't Succeed... and again, so far it's meh. I read them all years ago and enjoyed them, but not enough to actually invest money into actually owning them. Got em out of the library years ago and did the library thing again.
May try Tad Williams when I take these back. I would have thought the end of the world is everyone's responsibility, wouldn't you? ~Death in Thief of Time Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies. |

Eh, the Y/A 3 Investigator Series? I totally remember those from junior high. They were kind of fun. No Hardy Boys, but fun. ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

Yup! I never dug the Hardy Boys. They were too squeaky. 3 Investigators rock. Their headquarters is in a junkyard! AND they've got Alfred Hitchcock! Hardy Boys never had any cool friends  _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town.

The 3 Investigator book I remember best was the one where they go to a comic book convention but they can't sell their comics for what the price guide lists them at. Then a dealer's first issue of some rare comic gets ripped off, and he hires them, offering to buy they cache of comics for exactly what the price guide says if they find the first issue.
How the hell can I remember all that? *Sigh* Good times ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

"The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents" by Terry Pratchett
I am making my way through Terry Pratchett's rather large Discworld series, and enjoying it every inch of the way. The man is such a funny writer, and has twisted but distressingly accurate views on the world. --- "SOME PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE SHEER FASCINATION OF DOING IT. OR FOR FAME. OR BECAUSE THEY SHOULDN'T." - Death |

"Banewreaker" by Jacqueline Carey... not as good as her "Krushiel's Dart" series, but good.
Patrick O'Brien, but mainy for reference material, though I love the story. And a huge stack of work... as always... ~C~ "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read." ~Groucho Marx~ |

Hi everybody! Member  |
I recently went to Walden Books and was looking over the large selection of books that they have. I was about to by the novel Wicked, which the broadway musical is based upon, but I noticed another book that was in better condition than that one (Wicked had a couple of bent corners in its jacket). I got The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.
Here is a link to information about it |

okay, okay, i'll re-start the bookclub...later! ~ I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. trolls are like pigeons..keep feeding them and they keep coming back and shitting in your street. |

Sorcery by Terry Pratchett and The Complete Stories Volume I by Isaac Asimov.
Panda, let me know what you think of Hundred Years ... I started it, but got confused by everyone with the same name (I think that's the one.) ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not so sure about the turnip. ~~ Terry Pratchett |

seems Pratchett is contagious - I'm reading Darwin's Watch.

Executive Orders by Tom Clancy
Head of internal security of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination, Catnip Master in the order of the Pineapple. |

I started reading Executive Orders, but I just wasn't in the mood for it. Wanted something a little more fun. So I got "Anansi Boys" (i haven't had the money to buy it, and I just got a library card since I just moved to VA, but then the book was "Out" at every library in the county... so I FINALLY got it). Finished that last week.
Right now I'm reading "The Mermaid Chair" by Sue Monk Kidd since I liked "Secret Life of Bees". Good so far. JPOD is next on my list. That was out when I picked up The Mermaid Chair. |

I'm currently reading Viriconium by M. John Harrison. I like it, but it makes for a difficult read. I read it mostly when I'm trying to sleep and can't. All the big scary words put me out in a paragraph or two.

Just this minute finished Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K Hamilton which actually wasn't too bad at all.
Written in first person it kinda reads like a bloq and a trashy romance novel with vampires and werewolves and zombies and ghouls thrown in for good measure or overkill depending on your point of view. The chapters are only a few pages long, short and to the point, one subject and usually one setting or scene or thought. I'd recommend it as a light, whimsical, don't really have to think book. |
