I hope to keep up with it better in 2009 than 2008. Around the time Ella was born I read about a dozen books on babies and parenting that I never put on my list and they were all library books so I can't just go to the shelf and look it up. After that I pretty much abandoned my list. 2009 I intend to be more vigilant and write this stuff down.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

My 2008 list was not very accurate, since I tried to list all the books for the last year at once. I can only remember about 6 or 7 books back with any accuracy. So I am looking forward to keeping up with a list as I go. Ive never done that.

[Jean]

I hope my 2009 book list looks better than 2008,,,,
So I hope for mine. I mean, I hope my new one won't include 108 items as the old one did, which means I will have at least something like the so-called real life.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

That is an amazing number Jean. I don't know how you find the time. You must read like 10,000 words a minute, or read 25 hours a day

[Jean]

It's because bears live on books only... sometimes they wish they could do something else.

[Daghain]

Just finished my last book for 2008, and here's my first for 2009:

The Double Bind - Chris Bohjalian

[jayson]

Alright, here comes the first for 2009, because I am done reading for the evening and thus it will carry over into tomorrow (next year). Starting the year with a re-read inspired by my conversation yesterday with Brice and turtlex...

1. On the Road - Jack Kerouac

[fernandito]

I'm starting the year off with...


The Graveyard Book - Neil Gaiman

[Brice]

[fernandito]

It's awesome! It's not my favorite Gaiman book, but like all his other works - highly enjoyable! :D


P.S - Thanks again Lisa! :wub: x Infinity

[Heather19]

So what Gaiman ones would highly recommend? I want to pick up some more of his stuff.

[fernandito]

American Gods and Neverwhere should be at the top of your list.
Coraline is a quick read but equally as awesome.
Anansi Boys and The Graveyard Book for when you've read those listed above.

[Heather19]

Thanks. I've actually been wanting to read Coraline since the movie is coming out soon, but I don't think I'll get a chance to before then.
Neverwhere was actually the first Gaiman book I read. Just finished it a couple of weeks ago, and that one I did really enjoy.

[The Cosmic Geek]

Coraline looks amazing!

I've been wanting to read Odd and the Frost Giants by Gaiman but haven't gotten to it yet. Mark Buckingham, who draws the comic Fables, illustrates the book.

How do you guys do it! We're only...23 days into the year and most of you are around 8 books deep? I've only finished a book. That's kind a slow. But I thought 3 by now would be pretty normal. I guess, being a student and having a job sort of takes up my time. But you guys haul ass.

Not being able to sleep very much gives me a lot of time to read. I'd rather be sleeping, but at least I have something to do.

How do you guys do it! We're only...23 days into the year and most of you are around 8 books deep? I've only finished a book. That's kind a slow. But I thought 3 by now would be pretty normal. I guess, being a student and having a job sort of takes up my time. But you guys haul ass.

I'm wondering the same thing :scared:
Falling behind pretty quickly here because I almost only read when I go to bed + listening to audio books around 2hs a day.

I always have a book since I ride the bus a lot. I read it to and from work, so 45 min each way an maybe a little each night if I am not too tired...or if it's really getting interesting! And on the weekends. Really, I shouldn't be reading because I have a lot of homework and should try to get in shape, but because I'm on the bus and have a lot I want to read...there you go :)

Hehe, I take the bus a lot as well, that's where I listen to audio books :) Right now I'm on Song of Susannah (also American Gods).

...Insomnia?

Very much so. Have dealt with it most of my life. I credit it with my lifelong love of reading.

...Insomnia?

Very much so. Have dealt with it most of my life. I credit it with my lifelong love of reading.

I find it hard to read at night if I am dozing off because I am so tired. How do you keep yourself awake? or is it like Ralph...you can fall asleep until a certain time and then you're back up...and reading :) ?

[Darkthoughts]

I generally just read very quickly. Plus, most days I'm at home with my youngest son - who only has nursery in the mornings - and work in the evening, so I get a lot of reading done in the day. I don't watch tv much either, so that gives me more book time too :)

[jayson]

Unfortunately, I don't have to do anything to keep myself awake, it happens all on its own. I actually suffer from both the "can't fall asleep" form of insomnia and the "early waking" form suffered by Ralph Roberts.

[Daghain]

Don't feel bad, I'm reading really slowly right now too. I usually go in spurts - I think right now I have a bad case of "so many books, so little time". :lol:

Let me know what you think love! I f'n adore this book, it's defintely in my top 5 :wub:

[Darkthoughts]

Feev I am loving it!! I was so tired after work last night, but I had to keep reading :D
I totally have you to thank for it too, I'd never have picked it up if you hadn't of rated it so highly :thumbsup: :couple:

[Jean]

Do you think it would be an interesting read for someone who is normally bored by vampires?

[Darkthoughts]

Very much! The characters are very rich and the historical setting (reminds me of Mark Twain/Tom Sawyer) is enjoyable as a story in itself.

[Jean]

Bear is interested. I'll probably look for it after I'm through with the rest of my pdf files.

[fernandito]

It's such a beautiful book. It deals , among other things, about the reluctance of wanting to trust/befriend someone for fear of being betrayed, of broken dreams and unfulfilled goals.. Gahh! I love it!

[Darkthoughts]

Bear is interested. I'll probably look for it after I'm through with the rest of my pdf files.
If you have trouble, let me know, I'm sure it can be added to your Christmas list :couple:

[Heather19]

Well you guys have me intrigued. What's the basic premise of the book. I've never heard of it before.

[fernandito]

Fevre Dream is a vampire novel written by George R. R. Martin and published in 1982. It is set on the antebellum Mississippi River beginning in 1857, and has been described by some as "Bram Stoker meets Mark Twain." The book was first published in the US by Poseidon Press in 1982. It was notably reprinted by Orion Books in 2001 as volume 13 of their Fantasy Masterworks series[1].

[Heather19]

Thanks, it does sound kinda interesting. Maybe I'll pick it up at some point.

[Daghain]

That does sound interesting. I may have to add it to my list as well. :D

[jayson]

I put it on mine. That list is growing rapidly. This should be a good reading year. :)

The Yiddish Policeman’s Union – Michael Chabon or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Douglas Adams (haven’t decided which one I want to read first yet)

Both are very good. HHGTTG is among my favorite books ever. Once you read it, you will likely want to read the other four as well, so perhaps you'd want to start with the Chabon and get it out of the way and then settle into the whole Adams series. Or you can just throw yourself into the Guide and get back to Chabon some other time.

I absolutely LOVE Christopher Moore, and Lamb is my favorite of his novels. Although Island of the Sequined Love Nun and The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove are close runner-ups. I haven't been able to find a copy of Practical Demonkeeping. My library system doesn't carry it. :(

christopher moore rocks my world. i have practical demonkeeping around here somewhere. would you like me to loan it to you? pm me.

Lady, that is such a sweet offer, but thanks to this discussion, I went and actually purchased my own copy from Amazon (it was under textbooks...:lol: ). Can't wait until I get it! :excited:

I also noticed Moore released a new book this year, Fool. I'm going to check the library system first, but if they don't have it, I'll have to get that one too! He rocks my world, too!

The Yiddish Policeman’s Union – Michael Chabon

I liked this a lot. I read it via audio, which was read by Peter Riegert (who played Boone in Animal House among other things). He did a great job with it and the book itself is very interesting. I've yet to read anything else by Chabon but I suspect I might like it from the way this one read.

I have reader's block right now, it's a chance for you to catch up :D

[Brice]

I have been fighting with reader's block since February. :( But then I just got new books in the mail :dance: so maybe I can beat it.

[Daghain]

I suffer from too many books, too little time. I think I have brain lock. :lol:

[razz]

I just finished Black House. Should i feel sad, or happy, or pissed off?

[obscurejude]

I just finished Black House. Should i feel sad, or happy, or pissed off?

Depends on whether or not they make another one like they originally intended. If it is the end of Jack Sawyer, then feel pissed.

[razz]

Better damn well not be.

I just finished Black House. Should i feel sad, or happy, or pissed off?

Depends on whether or not they make another one like they originally intended. If it is the end of Jack Sawyer, then feel pissed.

Disappointed perhaps because I'd gladly read more, but not pissed for me if it is the end. I can live with the end they gave Jack in Black House. If that's the last I see of him, it's a good memory.

Also, I picked up a new book today so updating my updated list...

I found it very satisfying all around. I could still do with another jack Sawyer story though.

Honestly, since the Dark Tower is over, I'm hoping there will be another Jack Sawyer story without the tie ins. I know I'm a minority in this opinion but I really felt that King had no clue whether or not Jack was going to be part of the remaining books in the series and I think he should have just left it alone. It wasn't a bad book, but I enjoyed the first one better and I was disappointed that Jack wasn't in DT 7. The ending of Black House suggested there was more to the story and likely it would take place in the DT world. Either way, it felt incomplete and I wasn't very satisfied overall.
