It's peanut butter jelly time!
Started Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child while on vacation and I love it.
In Digitized Remorse
i just finished a long way down by nick hornby. it was really good. kind of like a suicidal british breakfast club.
I tried reading A Confederacy of Dunces once and couldn't really get into it. I am reading Imajica by Clive Barker at the moment after having just finished A Clash of Kings by George R R Martin.
There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.
You're going to love that series.Originally Posted by OchrisO

In Digitized Remorse
it was a series? huh. i guess i never knew that.You're going to love that series.
Have you read "How To Be Good" by him? It was good too.
Alright friends, well here's the biggie. I broke down...I found that damn Harry Potter book and I started it last night. I couldn't put it down. I'm over half-way finished already. Wonder how long it will take to read the whole series? I can't believe after 10 years, weeks before the last of the series I break. LOL

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it's not really a series-series, it's only two books long, but Barker wrote it in such a grand scale that you'll hardly notice.it was a series? huh. i guess i never knew that.You're going to love that series.
Imajica was originally a single book....at least my copy is...
In Digitized Remorse
Probably an omnibus edition.
My favorite bands can kick your favorite bands' asses.
The horizon is right and motionless like the EKG of a dying woman.
To my knowlegde, it was originally one book. The copy I have is one bok as well, but:
Imajica is a fantasy novel by British author Clive Barker. Barker names it as his favorite of all his writings. The work, 825 pages at its first printing in 1991, chronicles the events surrounding the reconciliation of Earth, called the Fifth Dominion, with the other four Dominions, parallel worlds unknown to all but a select few of Earth's inhabitants.

I think where the confusion might be is the original version of Imagica was one HC book and it was released as a paperback. Later on (years later I believe) it was being reissued as a paperback and some capitalist asshole had the ingenious idea of splitting it into multiple paperbacks. If you buy it in paperback now I believe it is Imagica Book One: Dominion and Imagica Book Two: Revelations, or something like that. There was never a sequel all though I believe there were plans for a sequel at one time as there are plans for a third book of the art (The Great And Secret Show, Everville).
The Story of B by Daniel Quin
The Tardis (Time And Relative Dimension(s) In Space) duh!
Ishmael is one of my favorite books, and I love Daniel Quinn because he makes me think and look at things in a new light. I have never made it all the way through The Story of B, though. This is mainly because of having to flip back and forth from the story to B's speeches really gets on my nerves.

Seriously. If they ever make a movie of that, I may very well burst from joy.

Currently reading Orcslayer by Nathan Long, part 8 of an ongoing series
BEEP BEEP Richie! They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
reading the book of lost things by john connolly. it's excellent.
just listened to Sacket by Louis Lamour. Classic western filled with cliche's (sp?)
it was a good fun listen on our longassdrive.
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa

I know what you mean, Ishmael made me think. This is my second attempt at the Story of B. For Christmas, I was given several other Daniel Quinn books. I also had a bumper sticker that said "Friend of Ishmael".

I currently reading Chuck Palahniuk's newest book, Rant: An Oral Histroy of Buster Casey. So far it is fan-freaking-tastic. I just love Chucky P.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
