Don't feel bad - I started out really slow at the beginning of the year. The only reason I'm cruising along now is that most of the books I'm reading are short. :lol:

Don't feel bad - I started out really slow at the beginning of the year. The only reason I'm cruising along now is that most of the books I'm reading are short. :lol:
I'm about to start reading "Pride and Prejudice & Zombies".
I just finished George Carlin's book "Brain Droppings".
Recently I read the Mortal Instruments Trilogy by Cassandra Clare.
I recommend them highly.
Prejudices: A Selection, by H.L. Mencken, edited by James T. Farrell.
i loved imajica.
been wracking my brains today to try and remember which on came after it?
i know they are all linked in some way, but the same people are in the book after. my mind is a blank though
i am about to restart Cell, my pappie called my yesterday in disgust saying he loved the book but not the end and i cant remember it that well, so promised him i would re read and then discuss it with him (parents eh???)
The pillars of the earth by Ken Follet. Pretty good book have to say.
Clive Barker bugs me a little, his writing is so oversexed. Like, okay, people have sex, get over it. Also, he pretty much worships women, and I'm all for feminism, but women aren't this great mystery of awesome vagina powers.
I'm reading Dune. Took me a few pages to get into it, every other word is something made up that I don't know what it means yet, but I'm slogging through it because it's supposed to be great.
ka-mai, ooohhh, Dune! I know, it's heavy, but it's great! it is.
Read between the lines and don't mind those made-up words. ^^
:lol:
Just finished A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room by Lemony Snickett and am now reading The Fourth Hand by John Irving.
(Re)reading It.
I too reread It a few weeks ago. :lol: Seems to be a good one for a reread, isn't it?
Currently reading Duma Key for the very first time! What a joy.
It definitely makes for a great re-read. I try to read it every few years.
Yes, especially when you've read It for the first time when you were very young (like I was), and you grow up within years, rereading it occasionally. You see it in so different way every time, which just proves how brilliant Sai King is.
Still slogging through Dune. The first chapter or two were the worst, it's getting a little easier now. Also I discovered a dictionary in the back. :lol: I'm definitely going to have to reread this one.
Currently reading "What Dreams May Come" by Richard Matheson -
:clap: Richard Matheson is great!
The Legend of Drizzt: The Crystal Shard by R.A. Salvatore. The first 3 books were great, the 1st and 3rd more so than the 2nd.
Just finished The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. I'm on chapter 2 of The Stand now. Starting off pretty slow but I'm sure it will pick up.
dune is worth the trouble
you have intered a new world with lots of characters and customs.....get past the 1st couple of hundred pages and you will find lots of new friends.
..........dont trust the witches
