I finished DROOD today. Damn, that was good book!

As you know by now, I've got another Simmons book sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.

Yes, let me know how it is. I'm glad you enjoyed Drood. I'm about 200 pages in now! It'll be awhile before I finish it, but I'm loving it so far.

Sorry, had to double post when I saw this comment. I read several of Simmons books on a binge and would say The Terror and Song of Kali are the best other than Drood. For me, The Terror was best of all.

It is my policy to read every book with this designation and it sounds like it will be really good. Small book so I'm sure I'll get through it tonight at work.

Yep, next on my list! And you all are making me majorly curious of the Simmons books.

**Matt** · 10-16-2009 01:35 AM

Its pretty good so far, about half way through it.

**Daghain** · 10-16-2009 01:46 AM

Simmons or O'Neill?

**Brice** · 10-16-2009 02:08 AM

Simmons is very good, Dags.
I'm about to start that O'neill book too.
Ruthful: you know fatu hiva.

I do think Letti must mean a different book by Thor though.

I'm currently reading Martian Time Slip by Philip K. Dick.

**Daghain** · 10-16-2009 02:16 AM

Well, it'll be interesting to see how we all feel about the O'Neill book, as a bunch of us will be reading it at the same time.

I'll have to put Simmons on my list as well.

**Brice** · 10-16-2009 02:21 AM

Yes, you definitely should.

For me, I like Drood more than The Terror, but it was close. Song of Kali (which I read when it first came out) is a strong contender also.

Just finished Just After Sunset and am now reading Taste of Tenderloin by Gene O'Neil.

You have to check out Summer of Night. That one's my favorite, followed closely by The Terror. I still have yet to read Song of Kali though.

Daggers, definitely give him a shot. You won't be disappointed.

Summer of Night is next on my list then. I am re reading an old paperback of Gerald's Game someone left at the hotel right now.

I really enjoyed that one a lot more than I thought I would when I first picked it up. I found it really creepy!

**pathoftheturtle** · 10-17-2009 10:35 AM

Finally started The Winds of War by Herman Wouk. Recommended to me long, long ago by JohnBlaze; I've owned a copy for over a year, just now getting to it... and with all I have to do, (including my commitment now to write a NaNoWriMo novel) I'll probably be working on it for quite a while. I often break for simpler books, anyway, when I'm reading a long piece of serious fiction. Of course, I'm familiar with Wouk's other famous work The Caine Mutiny, but this is clearly different. Not far into it yet, but so far the style kind of reminds me of All My Sons by Arthur Miller

The Silmarillion

**RoseMadder** · 10-20-2009 05:57 PM

right now I am rereading Siddhartha by Hesse, feel like being re-enlightened

**John_and_Yoko** · 10-20-2009 08:30 PM

Just finished The Chronicles of Narnia.

*takes a deep breath, lets out a great sigh of contentment*

**TLC** · 10-20-2009 10:21 PM

I really want to finish reading Drood. I've had to take it out of the library 6 times so far and still haven't finished it. Waiting for it again....number 29 on the waiting list. *sigh*

Currently reading , besides test books, The Stranger by Max Frei

**turtlex** · 10-21-2009 04:09 AM

Just got the new Patricia Cornwell - The Scarpetta Factor.

**John Blaze** · 10-21-2009 09:28 AM

Well, I really didn't want to start reading A Song of Ice and Fire until martin finished writing them, because of my impatience, but I finally ran out of good stuff to read and I started them. I haven't had much time to read but I'm almost done with the first book, and I'm loving it. At first I thought it was going to be as tedious to read as LOTR, but it's not.

**Jon** · 10-21-2009 09:04 PM

The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown

**Myste** · 10-22-2009 03:22 AM
