"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."
awesome! hope you enjoy it as much as i did. are you reading it in english?
The Salvador Dalí illustrations are great.
I've read it in english and spanish, and although i liked both versions, the spanish was funnier.

I love El Quijote!
I've read it twice already, but I have to reread it for Spanish Lit class, so I bought this new edition, and I'm even more pumped to be reading it again!
Haha. And you're right. It's funnier in Spanish, but I too like the English translations.
Awesome. I'm always envious of people who get to read it for the first time. Hope you enjoy.
I had no idea that Slumdog Millionaire was based on a novel!
I picked up the novel yesterday, and I'm planning on pounding through it with the quickness so that I can see the movie before the Oscars.
Make sure to let us know what you thought of it once you finish reading!
I've been meaning to buy the novel, too.
I just picked up the last 2 books of The Chronicles of Narnia. So I need to start reading those. I am also reading Drawing of the Three again. I have to have something to read before I go to bed. Now I have three books to read.
I went crazy when I had seen this.
The Salvador Dalí illustrations are great.Dali's most impressive works are the ones about this book and the Divine Comedy.
Is there an English edition with those illustations?
The Salvador Dalí illustrations are great.
I haven't seen the ones on The Divine Comedy!I went crazy when I had seen this.
They must be marvelous!
Google to the rescue.
I looked, and I didn't find anything, sorry.
You can look at some pictures here, though.
So I changed my mind, and I've now started Water for Elephants. I'm actually really excited about reading this one. I've heard such good stuff about it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I think you'll really like it.

I'm a bit into the complete fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, also reading Sit Down and Shut Up, and I'm supposed to be reading The Pirate King, which I've borrowed form someone.
My "to read" list is a bit out of hand at the moment.

The same is happening to bears.
They are absolutely fascinated.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just finished reading Duma Key. Read 370 pages last night didnt mean too but its like a film playing in my head and i dont actually remember flicking through half the pages..
Really good book tho
Glad you love it Nedmonds, I think it's great.
Welcome to the site.
I just finished JAS, thought it was mostly good.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
I just ran across a new (to me) author, Jim Butcher. He writes an excellent series call The Dresden Files. Think Harry Potter meets crime noir. The premise is a Chicago based wizard who is also a private eye gets called in when paranormal situations start arising. Great series. I snagged the 6th book in the series, which is a stand alone and makes great sense though I have yet to read the first 5. All sorts of good stuff in this such as vampires, fairies, wizards, incubus' set in a modern society.

I got the cute one, my woman
She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
When two fit it makes you think
See us both in the black
She lays on me so relaxed.

Slumdog Millionaire is effin awesome so far, I can't wait to see how the movie measures up to the book.
Halfway through re-re-re-re-re-re...erm...however many more re-'s...reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy...halfway through Life, The Universe, and Everything.
Elodin: "Tombs is for feckless twits who can't chew their own food. My boy's a Re'lar! He has the feck of twenty men!"
Kvothe: “Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find.”
Simmon: ”It’s just ointment in case you get burned...but if you mix it with piss, it turns into candy.” Sim’s expression was deadpan. “Delicious candy.”
Reading now: Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow. I'm enjoying it a lot!
