I'm reading Cell.
I tried to read it months ago but I got busy and never got around to it again so now I'm giving it another shot.

Reading The Day Of The Triffids which I highly recommend. It was written in 1951, but doesn't come across as dated. In many ways it reminds me of The Stand, very post apocalyptic and groups of people struggling to survive and rebuild with very differing viewpoints.
bears like it, too
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
About half way into Locke & Key and I'm really enjoying it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
i liked it. it 's really a monster though. books, even of that size, take me about a week to read. 47 odd days is huge for me. but i liked it, overallOriginally Posted by Brice

I just started the Odyssey today. Great so far.

Currently, I've started reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the first book of the Dexter trilogy, now a ShoTime miniseries with the same name...I enjoy the writing quite a bit so far...Dexter's personality works just as well(if not better) on paper as it does in film.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
dexter so rocks!
Absolutely agreed...I've watched the series for some time now, and recently found out that it was based off of those books...so, naturally I scrambled to find the books and read those.

3/4 of the way through Bag of Bones now.
Once that's finished I intend to start Rose Madder.

and i will await your reactions to both in the proper threads. seriously, these are two of my favorite books by sai king and i absolutely love to hear what other people think of them.
Well, I'm loving Bag of Bones so far, though I won't go into detail here--saving that for the actual thread for that novel, and for after I finish the whole thing.

But I am lovin' it!
Finished Locke & Key last night. Loved it! I don't think I can wait till the next installment comes out. I want to know what's going to happen now.

First time?I just began The Hobbit a few days ago. Oh yeah.
I'm always a bit envious of those who can read it for the first time. That was so long ago for me. I'm looking forward to reading it to my daughter for the first time.

I'm sure you'll enjoy introducing the hobbits to your daughter as greatly as she'll be delighted to meet them.
One of the first things we did when my wife got pregnant was to start assembling a library of books we'd want to read our child. We've already started reading to her. I'm sure it'll be a whole new kind of fun when she can comprehend it, but even now, it's fun time to spend with her.
That is such a great idea Jayson. I'm sure you've got some good one's picked out for her already.
