[Ben Staad]

Starting on the reread of Game of Thrones. I haven't read this book since like the 90's and had to blow dust off of it. I will note that I had forgotten how good this series is.

I just finished the Tommyknockers. I liked it much better the second time I read it. I don't totally hate it as much as I used to, but it is not one of my favorite SK books.

Excellent. I think that by the time you finish the 5th novel the first season of the show will be out on dvd already, so you'll be able to catch up with the rest of us ! F'n A

Haha!
My sister has already promised to rent them on Netflix for me when it comes out.

I am reading The Stolen Throne by David Gaider. It is set in the world of the Dragon Age video games. I love Dragon Age and it isn't bad so far, but it hasn't really grabbed my attention strongly yet. Hopefully a good hook hits soon.

Speaking of Neil Gaiman did you see the 8in8 thing he was a part of?

http://music.amandapalmer.net/album/nighty-night

Neil Gaiman, Ben Folds, Amanda Palmer and Damian Kulash were all in town for some sort of music industry thing and decided they would try to write create and distribute an 8 song album in 8 hours while they were waiting. It ended up being 6 in 12, but is still a pretty amazing accomplishment. Neil sings the song The Problem With Saints. You can listen to them all for free in the link above.

Wasn't it good? Very original, i loved the whole thing even the end that i thought was a little sad. I am having a break from Gaiman (reading The Hunger) but I am then going to read the Anansi Boys

The Sheltering Desert
Henno Martin

http://www.amazon.com/Sheltering-Des.../dp/0868521507

two German Scientists / Geologists flee from the inevitability the internment camp into the Namib desert, during WW2, The book is more about the many intellectual discussions they had during their solitude than "escape and survival"

They ingeniously figured out how to make the desert provide for them in abundance.

From an Amazon review:
escape" is not really the main theme. Neither is "survival", because as strange as it may appear, they often had too much to eat in that desert, even if they spent a few hungry weeks during an exceptionally long lasting drought. The real value of this book lies in the abundance of biological, zoological, geological, meteorological and social observations in one of the most arid places of the world. You will learn an incredible amount of details about animals, plants, insects... and meteorology that no one ever witnessed. But there is also the philosophical exchange between the two men/"

After you read the book, you can hop on Google Earf and see the exact spot where they lived in that desert canyon it's a mighty good read, and though I recommend the print copy, it is available for free as an ebook download as the copyright was never renewed.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I'm finishing: "All I Ever Needed to Know About Life I Learned From Watching Star Trek"

Just read "Postcards from a Death Girl" which was great

"Last song of Orpheus" AMAZING

"Hull Zero Three" by Greg Bear which was too confusing and written more like a movie than a story

"The Good Divorce"

"Emotions, can you trust them?"

I'm sorry ...

I'm reading any self-help book I can get my hands on

try some Bridget Jones (Helen Fielding), it's good for perspective - especially the second book

I took a break from reading SK and read No Country for Old Men by Cormac McMarthy. This book was so suspenseful and amazing that I had to finish it all in one night. (I stayed up until 3 a.m to finish it.)
I enjoyed the book. Some parts of the book was confusing. It seemed that a lot of key plot elements were left out or kept in the background. You had to "guess" at what had happened. I am still not sure if

Spoiler:

Anton Chigurh was put on Death Row, or if he got away in the car crash. I am not sure if Anton Chigurh was caught at the hotel by Bell. Did someone else go to jail for all of Anton Chigurh's crimes?

If anybody read the book, maybe we could discuss it.

In anticipation of his upcoming episode in just over a week for the greatest show ever, I'm currently reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. As expected, from having previously read Anansi Boys, it is really awesome so far, even though i'm only about 50 pages in. He really has an amazing way of taking some of the oldest and greatest stories and bringing them into the modern day whilst still retaining their magic.

One of the best that helped me was "The Road Less Travelled" by Scott Peck. REALLY helped me put my problemas de amor into perspective

This made me laugh out loud! I guess I don't have a sense of full perspective on the book yet because I've only just finished Gingerbread Girl and am moving onwards...

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just trying to get stronger, and to find the way that I never end up with anyone who doesn't really love me. And to find self-satisfaction - which I really don't think I'm that far from - and self-esteem and to figure out if I'm codependent or just a selfless giving person. But even being a selfless giving person, I have to learn to not feel like I'm being selfish when I do things for myself...
