I was working on Richard Matheson's "I am Legend", but I felt like if he referred to his main character by first and last name one more time, I was going to scream. Right now, I'm reading Ellis' "American Psycho"... WOW! That's all I have to say about this book right now. just wow. I'll get back to "I am Legend" when I'm done. I just wanted to take a break from it, I suppose.

This collecting stuff is a sickness! ~Patrick
I am trying...so many good books though.
Yes you really do!
I never even noticed that about I Am Legend. The story is way too good. American Psycho is a good one too.

I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
Just finished Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King.
Am still reading Romulan War - I think it's by Martin.
Also still trying to read Madness of Angels (don't know who it's written about)
and am re-reading the first Emily the Strange book (YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!)
Hope to be reading soon Red Pyramid by Riordan.
So many books.. so little time.

Lisey's Story
but why? why??? it's a great book, it's fun to read, it's a wonderful story beautifully written, it has great dialog and characters developed fantastically well, it's exciting and deep and touching and memorable; why don't you want to read it? why? why????????Four.And threeLet's make it two, please.
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kim Stanley Robinson - Green Mars.
I rushed through the Mars series a few years ago... can hardly remember a thing. I'd go back to it in the future.
On the second Harry Potter book now... kinda childish but easy to read in short bursts, which suits me at the moment. I must have seen parts of the first movie as I knew who the 'Big Bad' was before the end of the first book. I'm in completely unspoiled territory now and like how Rowling seems to be weaving the threads of a much bigger tapestry.
Good luck!

Book 11 of The Dresden Files, Turn Coat. Fabulous stuff, that dresden files.
"As for gunslingers, Roland," Cuthbert says, "I am here. And we are the last."
When two fit, it makes you think
I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.
-Big D and The Kids Table
Okay, I'm just going to throw this out there...I've read a LOT of adolescent lit (English major LOL) and of all the stuff I've read, I have to say the HP series is one of the LEAST obvious pieces of ad. lit. I've ever read.
IMHO, it appeals to young and old, specifically because Rowling doesn't "talk down" to her readers, which is what I like.
Just my two cents.

And I agree with Jean, Prisoner Of Azkaban is where it really took off for me
thanks, I'm only half way through will be finished tonight, but I am only now starting to get in to itGood luck!
I would be reading the 4th Percy Jackson but Annabeth snuck it to the beach with her. I should be mad but, honestly, how can you be mad at a kid that likes to read?? So I'm working on War and Remembrance for now.
People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
Just started Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah the other day. Loving it so far. I didn't want to put it down.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
