reading Blood of the Fold right now, really got into reading the Sword of Truth series after flying through Wizards first rule, what a great book. Loving BOTF right now, and I read Stone of Tears faster than anything I have ever read!
In a book,in a box,high upon a shelf
In a locked a guarded vault
Are things I keep only for myself
Its your fate,but its not your fault

Currently reading:
Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King - Lisa Rogak
A Dark Matter - Peter Straub
In the wings, I finally got a copy of Joe Hill's Horns. As soon as I finish the Rogak book, I'll be starting that.
I'm pretty disappointed in the Rogak book. I don't particularly care for her writing style, and I've run across more than a few errors in her narrative. It's hard to believe that this book was nominated for an Edgar award. I just don't see it.

That's what I'll be reading next!Originally Posted by jwill

I have many leather bound books.
I'm kind of a big deal.

I liked the Munich, even though I can't stand Kushner or Spielberg. Even if it's not what they intended-which I'm sure it wasn't-I think most people who watched it came away from the movie impressed by and admiring of the Mossad. At least, the agents who participated in Operation Wrath of God.I thought Munich was a great movie. Have you seen it? Does it follow the book closely? Might have to add this to my "to read" list.
Also reading an apocalyptic Russian sci-fil novel:
and some other e-books I bought for my Nook:
I am reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins at the moment.
Next on the list is "The Survivor" by James Herbert.
Finished The Shining and will now go on to The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford.
Do you like the Nook? I played with one a bit at B&N but wasn't overly impressed. It reminded me of the old grayscale screen I had for my Mac years ago. Actually, it was trying to figure out how to make the buttons work that I found annoying. It wasn't intuitive, at least to me.Also reading an apocalyptic Russian sci-fil novel:

Yeah, the buttons are kind of tricky. I'm embarrassed to admit that it took me more than a day to figure out how to scroll through a book's table of contents. Another aspect I don't relish is the fact that it freezes up occasionally, which is something that never happens to a real book.
Still, It does have its advantages, e.g. easier to eat and read simultaneously, much easier to read a book with footnotes, etc...
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the dust to settle in the eReader arena before I settle on one.

Reading:
Ace of Cakes: Inside the World of Charm City Cakes - Duff Goldman
The Affirmation - Christopher Priest
For School:
Wuthering Heights (not my favorite, but anything beats Pride and Prejudice)
A NEW GAME BEGINS
So far, so good.
The movie was one of the better science-fiction adaptations I've seen, and the sequel wasn't too bad either. I think he's written three books-the last one is Twilight Watch, IIRC.
Yeah, I decided to pick up Horns by Joe Hill, and I have to say I'm loving it. Maybe a lighter read it what I really needed. I think I'll save All The Pretty Horses for later.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I honestly can't believe that the up coming movie reminded me that I've never read this and I can't believe I have not.
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
I don't know if this is the case with you or not, I'm just speaking in general, but perhaps it's something to do with a certain mindset about such stories--people get bombarded with references to it (because it's become a part of our modern mythology) so that they feel like they KNOW the story even if they've never actually read it or had it read to them at all.
Certainly it feels that way with Peter Pan--it wasn't until my adulthood that I even bothered to read the book, and then the script of the play....
Yes, I think you've hit the nail on the head John_and_Yoko. It is an amazing story that I read just this year for the first time as well. I've yet to read Alice's Adventures Through The Looking-Glass

I finished the Dark Tower series for the second time earlier. Now I'm reading The Regulators for the first time.
Finished The Regulators. Pretty good read.

I've been having a hard time getting up the motivation to read as well. I've been stuck on the same book for over a month. But I just got a copy of Horns so I decided to put aside the other one and read this one instead. Hopefully it'll break me out of my reader's block.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
But... I read it in three days...

Have you read Desperation yet? If not I'd highly recommend it
