It started out a little slow at first but gets better once you get acquainted with the characters.

Sill rereading Duma Key, slowest I've ever read a book.
I am having a hard time concentrating ...

What's it about?
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I LOVE The Things They Carried. It is the only book that I ever had to read for an English class that I ran out and bought for myself. It was so good that I remembered everything about it and got every question, including the bonus questions, correct on the test. It just stuck with me. So yeah, drop everything and read it, it's amazing.
Heather - it's about soldiers in the Vietnam War. It tells stories from the platoon and about the soldiers individually. It touches on so many things, it's hard to describe.
Anyway, I'm currently reading:
The last installment of the Otherland series by Tad Williams
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
Salems Lot
you're solid gold // i'll see you in hell
it's about Tim O'Brien's time in Viet Nam. he changed some of the names at the request of his company members but it's true.What's it about?
it's about what they had with them. it's about how they died and how they lived. it's about how and who they fought - both the vietnamese and each other. it's about who they loved and who they lost. it's about death and survival. it's about life.
it's the only book that made me cry while reading it in the bookstore and i didn't realize i was crying until someone walked up to me and asked me if i was okay. when i showed him what i was reading, he just nodded and walked away. (he had either read the book or been in the war, i never found out which.)
are we related? i love the otherland series! i try to reread it every year. and neal stephenson is on my list of all time favorite authors. and, well, we all know how i feel about sai king!
Hell yeah, you obviously have excellent taste in books.
Otherland is constant reread material for me. I like Williams' other books (Tailchaser's Song was the first one I ever read, back when I was 10 or so), but Otherland is tops. I tend to finish Sea Of Silver Light then start right over again at City of Golden Shadow, hee.
I love how you described TTTC. Perfect.
I adore Stephenson's sense of humor. You don't see it coming, and then all of a sudden you're laughing out loud. So dry, so well done. Plus, he's lived in Ames, IA, and I'm from thereabouts. Hell, my grandparents once knew, like, everyone in their town, so they might even know him. Hee.

I'm currently reading A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. I'm only a few chapters in, but so far so good. I wonder if I'll be able to keep track of all the characters though.
I'm sure you'll be able to keep up with the characters, Brainslinger!
They're engaging enough to be remembered.
Enjoy the series!!!
(I sure did!)
So.... I read New Moon today, and tomorrow I'm planning on reading Eclipse.
These books are addicting. And good. And I feel like a 12 year old pre-teen reading them because I love them so much.
I just started Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut. I'm loving it like a Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich from Mickey D's.
I've got a silly question about Jane Eyre, for those that have read it.
I'm listening to the audiobook so I don't have it written in front of me, but does Mr. Rochester sometimes call Jane, Janet for some reason or am I just mishearing what's being said?

Literally just finished Dean Koontz's "Velocity" about 20 min ago. Deciding on whether I wanna read "It" or go in a different direction.
There's this book series"The Rabbi". I remember one of Them was "Friday the Rabbi Slept Late". I was wondering about them, and wanted to know if anyione read them and if they're worth reading.
no, you're not mishearing; for example:
He checked himself in his exultation to demand, "But is there anything the matter, Janet, that you come to meet me at such an hour? Is there anything wrong?"
The bear is always happy when people enjoy books he loves!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you like mysteries, they're pretty good. My wife loves them.

I finished Black House. I liked it 100% more the second time around. It helps to have read the Dark Tower books first. Would I put it on my list of favorites? No, but still...much better the second time around.
I also read "The Little Sisters of Eluria." I'm glad I did. I missed Roland.
And NOW I've started American Gods. I started last night, I'm 117 pages in and I love it.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me....Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.
-Shel Silverstein
Just finished Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill and am going to start a reread of Everything's Eventual.

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.
oh. ummm.... ok.
