I enjoyed the first one. I have the Ultimate Guide (all novels in one) but I am doing my best to break them up and read different things in between them all.
I'm doing the same with The Complete Sherlock Holmes.

They do work well as individual books. Glad you enjoyed the first one. I love doing my re-reads of it on audiobook [read by Douglas Adams].Originally Posted by MonteGss

By the way, if you like Douglas Adams, you might want to check out John Swartzwelder. He has been a writer for the Simpsons since day one [in fact, he's written more episodes than anyone]. I've read a couple of his novels and I think they are stylistically a lot like Adams' [intelligent and hilarious].
Currently reading The Ruins by Scott Smith.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
I'm listening to Dean Koontz--"The Taken", its pretty good so far.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Let me know how this is. I've been reading most of her books lately, just have Sense & Sensibility, Emma, and Lady Susan left.
How is this one? I just saw the movie and was kinda curious to pick up the book.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Well, it looks like we can help each other out here! I've been searching for people who have seen the movie, and guess what? No one I know has seen it! :/ Did you like it?
I am only about 100 pages into the book so far, but right now I'm not enjoying it too much.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Yeah I thought the movie was pretty good, I'd recommend it.
Let me know if the book gets any better.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Alright, will do. I just can't get into it right now. There's hardly any dialogue.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
just finished the audiobook version of anna karinina. ..36 cds! No wonder i never finished the book
i loved that book.
Lenin was my favorite character.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Reading Cell now, it's okay i suppose, i just find it rather Bizzare to see SK writing about iPods and Mobile (cell) phones, 'cause i've only read The Stand and DT by him.
2:45 am- 11th February 2008- I Finished The Dark Tower
It's all her actual letters, mostly to her sister. Heavily footnoted (so you can keep track of who's who) and so far not too bad - it's interesting if you're a big Austen fan and want a glimpse into her personality.Let me know how this is. I've been reading most of her books lately, just have Sense & Sensibility, Emma, and Lady Susan left.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
thanks, I might have to check that out

"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
Finally finished Wolves of the Calla and have now started Insomnia.
i just finished city of saints and madmen by jeff vandermeer, and have started on the etched city by kj bishop. i LOVED the vandermeer, and the other... well, i picked it up because it has mystical gunslingers. i hope it turns out to be enjoyable.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
Larry Mcmurtry's Lonesome Dove, and the Sin Killer.
I don't know what's up with me, but I've been on a western kick past couple of weeks.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
I love Lonesome Dove; It took me a week, approximately, to get through it. I have the other three novels in that series on my bookshelf, but haven't gotten around to picking them up yet.
Just finished "Forever On The Mountain" by James Tabor and "High Crimes" by Michael Kodas. I'm waiting on the release of "Dead Lucky" by Lincoln Hall and "Dark Summit" by Nick Heil. I'm on kind of a mountain climbing, adventurer kick right now.
Also, am listening to "Drawing Of The Three" on audio when I'm on my stationary bike.

Chrismart - If you enjoyed "The Watchmen", then you really should check out "V for Vendetta". Very good.

As long as we're talking graphic novels - check out The Sandman - which is the king of graphic novel series, IMHO.
