:lol: That made me sound like a magicians assistant.
I'm rereading The Shining, I've only read it once before and that was 20 years ago, so it'll kind of be like the first time again :nana:

First Meetings -- an anthology of short stories and novellas in Orson Scott Card's Ender universe. Not bad so far.
I reread The Mist yesterday, I hadnt read that in so long.
I actually bought a new copy just to have it on the shelf.
Lost Boy Lost Girl by Peter Straub
-Our lady of the Assasins-Fernando Vallejo
(I just finished it today)
-The Death of Artemio Cruz- Carlos Fuentes(half)
-For whom the bells tolls-Ernest Hemingway(just the beginning)
I just finished reading The Bourne Ultimatum and quickly realized that the books are VEry different from the movies. Two of the main characters that died in the first two movies are very much alive and well in the third book. The adaptations are similar in name only. I want to go back and read Identity and Supremacy just to see what Robert Ludlum's true vision was.
Now I'm reading John Grisham's The Broker . And it's proving worthy of a Grisham novel. Very fast paced, extremely readable. I've only been reading it for two days and I expect to finish it whithin the next two.
Erin: you will love HP! Keep reading! They get so much darker and more adult as they progress, as well, so get ready for some great creepy visuals!
As for what I'm reading currently, I'm double-timing The Legend of Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore alongside the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (R.I.P.)
I've been slowly finishing up "Eragon" as well, but not in a big rush to finish it. Great start and middle, but really drawn-out ending. :(
I think I might check out those Bourne books :orely:
I'm rereading a Terry Pratchett book before I move onto more serious stuff. The next 5 books in my "to read" pile all look quite intense :ninja:
Never have Read any C.S. Lewis. What am I missing out on? I take it I should definately read the books if I really wnat the full story, right? I mean, because it looks to me like Disney is really screwing up the series with skipping books in between film releases like they have been.
The books are great, especially if you like that upper class old school British tome of narrative :D
Seriously, they are good fun and well written.
Actually I thought Disney's version was fantastic, best rendition of the book yet. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "skipping books"? They're going with the original order the series came out.
You really should read the series, its one of my favorites under The Dark Tower series. Its kind of like Harry Potter in that its oriented towards children but everyone can enjoy it.
Didn't they start with The Lion, The Witch...? It should be Magician's Nephew first CK.
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe was released first.
The order of release was - 1. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe; 2. Prince Caspian; 3. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader; 4. The Silver Chair; 5. The Horse and His Boy; 6. The Magician's Nephew; 7. The Last Battle
I have the series-in-one-big-book format and it will definetly be one I encourage my daughter to read when she is ready. and yes, "magician's nephew" is first.
