now all i have is this crummy paperback, that has been revised for american english speakers AND has little stupid bits added in. like at the sorting, it talks about dean being a "tall Black boy." wtf is up with capitalizing it?
I knew the title was different. I didn't know they changed the text.
Now I need HP and the Philosopher's Stone.
I'm a sicko... like Roland, I started on the wheel again. Just can't help myself... I hear the singing......
Ooh, let me know how that one is. I almost picked it up the other day.I Am Legend

Other than than, I'm still reading Bag of Bones. I just picked up a copy of The Colorado Kid, so that's next!

it's just little stuff, substituting americanized words for british ones for the most part. there are little things that were adjusted, though.

I hate when books are changed though.I need the original.
Daghain, I am Legend is a great book.
Cool, I will put it on the list.

Finished LOLITA the other day. Excellent book although I had no pity whatsoever for ol' Humbert. Very well written, kudos to Nabokov.
Now reading THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy based on a strong recommendation from Man from Westernesse (a.k.a. Brian).
I'm not far into the story but so far it feels like some sort of parallel other-world tale about twinners of Roland and Jake. On that basis alone I recommend it.

I Am Legend is fantastic
I'm rereading The Salmon of Doubt- Douglas Adams, and then I'm going to start on Heart Shaped Box - which I've said a few times...but this time I really am!!
Heart Shaped Box is excellent. 20th Century Ghosts (his short story collection) is also.
It really is lovely actually, Brice. Basically he was writing a new Dirk Gently story and died before he completed it, but what he'd written so far makes up the latter half of the book. The first half is just allsorts of bits and bobs they found lurking in his hard drive - introductions to books he'd written, old newspaper columns etc.
To describe it better (and be self indulgent at the same time
Douglas Adams
The Salmon of Doubt
If, after reading this book, you feel you'd like to settle down in a comfy chair, with something by Wodehouse and a cup of Earl Grey - then you've taken away with you some of the finer points of this collection.
If you feel perhaps you'd also like to listen to Bach, expand your Beatles collection, holiday in Australia, buy a Mac, help save the rhino, become an atheist, eat Japanese food, befriend large poodles and find a cure for hangovers - then you're really onto something.
If you'd like to do all these things whilst living in Santa Fe, New Mexico and reading everything Douglas Noel Adams ever wrote, in your spare time, then congratulations! You enjoyed The Salmon of Doubt as much as I did.
Ruki told me about this book, she said the same thing. It's definitely on my To Read list for next year.
I agree
I am listening to "Stationary Bike" Its a short story by SK, pretty good so far.

I'm currently between book. I am thinking of picking up Blaze, worth it?
"See the TURTLE of enormous girth,
On his shell he holds the earth.
If you want to run and play,
Come along the BEAM today."
NFA JJG 42-95
I would say so. Its a very easy read but I really got close to Blaze during my time with him

Alright, I'll pick it up on December 31st and I'll start reading it at 11:59 p.mYou should move it up higher on the list my friend.
the Salmon of Doubt is something i read whenever i need a good laugh. i've read it 5 or 6 times over the last few years...it always makes me a bit sad, though.

I'm reading The Memory of Running, by Ron McLarty. Reccommended to me by Avalonian a while back. I hope he's doing well.
I'm reading Confessor by Terry Goodkind and reading like crazy.I'm trying to slow down and savor it though because it's the last book of the series.

I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
I've had that book for close to a year now, but I still haven't gotten around to reading it, which is awful since I'm such a huge Douglas Adams fan.
you really should. it will make you miss him like nothing else ever could.I've had that book for close to a year now, but I still haven't gotten around to reading it, which is awful since I'm such a huge Douglas Adams fan.
