Alright, after reading through Lisa's collection, seeing her copy of Shardik, going to grab mine off the shelf to take a picture and post it, not being able to find the damn cord to the camera so screw posting a picture of it, just made a post saying I have it but haven't read it....I'm looking at it sitting on my floor, all unread and stuff.
I think I'm going to read it now. LOL.
So, I'm officially reading Shardik by Richard Adams.
It's peanut butter jelly time!
Tell us what you think of that book, Heather.
Now reading: A CLOCKWORK ORANGE by Anthony Burgess

I'm currently not reading anything and it feels oh so wrong. I went to the library today to get A Game of Thrones on audio and they didn't have itso I'm going to go to the county library tomorrow to check their stock.

Hey Bev, nice to see you here!Hope you enjoy it!
I read it and really enjoyed it.

Oh, the irony.Hope you enjoy it!
Currently reading: DT7 (I just cant read it enough times, ya know) and Tommo and Hawk by Bryce Courtenay, who is one of my all-time favorite authors. His books have a very gritty feel to them, often situated in South Africa or Australia. I sincerely suggest The Power of One. Very, very good book.
Still reading IT, it's taking me a while as I'm taking notes on it for the tower connections...hint...hint
Heather - I started Shardick a few years back, but didn't finish it. Not because it wasn't good, but I found it hard to get into. It's on my "to read" pile though - I might go for it after IT. Let me know what you think of it
Oh, I so see where this is going...Still reading IT, it's taking me a while as I'm taking notes on it for the tower connections...hint...hint

All books I'vfe been reading have been temporarily suspended for Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series. I fuckin' love it. Next Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone.
I'm about 1/3 of the way into DUMA KEY and loving it. It has a BAG OF BONES feel.
Next Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone.
Brilliant! I loved Bag of Bones!! It was a fantastic ghost story.
*plies Daggers with wine*
That's good to hear. It's one of my favorite stories.
I finished Graven Image by Ray Garton
Started Licker by Michael Arnzen
You know me too well.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--Bev said Duma Key has a Bag of Bones feel...I love that!
I finished Polar Shift by Clive Cussler (the good guys won
It is very good imo, totally stands alone and is actually scary as hell.

You didn't like Bag of Bones, Jean?
I liked it better on my recent reread than I did the first time around. But I like a good ghost story.

I read it twice, because I know that some things are better on re-read. That one wasn't. The ghost part was ok, - though I am indifferent to ghost stories - but it took very little space, comparing with very slow development of relationships between people I couldn't make myself take the slightest interest in.

I loved it, it took me twice to get the relationships between what happened to her and the present day--like everyone says, great premise for a ghost story.
Same reason I like Heart Shaped Box so far.

Currently, I just finished Insomnia. I'm currently reading Pet Semetarry, I Am Legend, and a book called Reaper Man, by Terry Pratchett.
I advise everyone to look up the latter, Terry Pratchett is the equivalent of Monty Python meets Lord Of The Rings.
