Aside from what I'm reading for classes (yes, even in the summertime) ...
My wife and I just started Dark Tower III. I read it to her out loud at night.
Norman Cantor's "Civilization of the Middle Ages"
I'd dearly love to pick up either Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter at some point. Preferably when the weather turns wet and gloomy again, and the coffeepot is constantly full.
Ah, Lord of the Rings. My favorite non-DT book series. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
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
Definitely hit up Harry Potter as soon as you get the chance!Originally Posted by Lord_Vertigo
Nice to see you to!

I'd reccommend HP over LOTR anyday.
glad you and your wife are sharing the experience.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Everyone has their own opinions of course, but that one makes me laugh. No offense.
there's nothing like good laugh, Jayson! I hope the [old] news that I am totally with John will bring you some more positive emotions!Everyone has their own opinions of course, but that one makes me laugh. No offense.

bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure, I could always use another laughthere's nothing like good laugh, Jayson! I hope the [old] news that I am totally with John will bring you some more positive emotions!Everyone has their own opinions of course, but that one makes me laugh. No offense.
Of course it wasn't much of a surprise. I know you don't care much for LotR.
Just finished my reread of Watchmen. I"m going to try and read IT again, and if/when I finish, I'm going to start Prisoner of Azkaban.
I think you would like Road Work. Definitely give it a try.
Just finished The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving and am starting a reread of Dreamcatcher. I'm also reading Selected Poems of W. H. Auden.

I hope you enjoy it this time!
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I just got finished with I Am Legend and loved the story but was a bit disappointed with the book. Doesn't sound like that makes much sense but when I picked up this 317 page book, I thought I was in for a great long story.
Turns out, only 160 pages of it was actually I Am Legend. The rest are short stories and while the ones I read were good, the book says I Am Legend on the front...not I Am Legend and other stories.
Anyway, now I'm on The Bridge of San Luis Rey.

I felt that way when I bought it too.

Feev Feev Feev!
PLEASE start IT again...
It's so worth it.
Oh, I forgot, along with starting Green Mile last night, I've been listening to The Gunslinger in my car. The original version, and it's my first time to read/hear the original. It's quite different so far...
hear, hear!

Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
just got house of leaves: the remastered full-color edition in the mail.
ummmm? i'm confused. i just paged through it and parts of it are upside down and in boxes? there's boxes of foreign languages? there are parts crossed out in what looks like red pen? some of the pages only have five or six lines all the way at the bottom?
what in the hell did i get myself into here?
