    I finished DUMA KEY.
    Then I read FIGHT CLUB by Chuck Palahniuk. Awesome book.
    After that was STARDUST by Neil Gaiman. An enjoyable, sweet story.

    Currently reading: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Ray Bradbury.

    Maybe I ought to read it, and maybe watch it too.

    Yeah, finally not a school book. Finally have a chance to go back and finish Arthur C. Clarks 'First Born', after that a James Patterson book and then upon recommendation from a few of you, 'Black House'. Sadly that may get stuck waiting till May before I get a real chance to read it.

    You definately should. The book is better than the movie, naturally, but both are quite enjoyable.

    Um, gee thanks but no.
    Insomnia not my favorite book....no, not so much. Maybe I'll learn to like it someday and if I do, I'll totally take you up on the offer.

    Would you like my personal reading of Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Complete Concordance?

    Anybody reading Insomnia would be an improvement over the dildo they had reading it. BAD, BAD, choice!

    Is it your first time with that Tamez? My first time reading it I had a bit of trouble getting into it. As I read on it got better though. Now, I love it.

    I just started a book called "Born to Buy" by Juliet Schor about how companies try to make consumers out of children through ubiquitous marketing. it's very interesting so far, but not the least bit surprising.

    I'm 2/3 of the way through The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass now. The first three volumes didn't take me this long to read (started it last Sunday, usually Dark Tower books take me a few days at most).

    Just finished a reread of Rose Madder and I'd forgotten how good it was. Would love to see this turned into a film.

    I might have to give Rose Madder another shot. I did not enjoy it whatsoever the first time I read it, but that was years ago.
