I'm going to start reading Wuthering Heights this weekend. It has been on my list of books for years and years and I could never bring myself to read it. I feel that is it time to at least give it a chance.

Wuthering Heights is a good one.

ugggg, i've been putting it off for so many years now I wonder if it will stand up to the hype I've built up.

I always found it boring, artificial, exaggerated and generally ridiculous. As opposed to the author's sister's writings, which are entertaining, true, psychologically insightful and generally great...

RE: what are you reading?
im currently re-reading DT and just finished the gunslinger-my daughter works at the local Barnes and Noble-Hickory, NC-so she can order the hardcover copies of the series at a good discount. Im currently working on two complete sets of all sk's hardcovers for my kids future. I do have extra copies if anyone is interested.
Hey, I read that. Stephen King recommended it in one of his EW columns some time ago, so I figured it was worth checking out. It was.Originally Posted by Rorschach

People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
It's a great read so far. I about flipped when I found out that Ron McLarty played the judge that kept reversing jury verdicts and pissing off Jack McCoy on Law and Order.Hey, I read that.

Science Gone Wrong
We all depend on science to help us understand
our world and our place within it, but what if our
scientists become locked-in to the wrong idea?
Science itself veers down the wrong path, taking
all of us and our birthright of understanding along
with it. The Final Theory shows this has actually
occurred, starting with Newton and accelerating
with Einstein, taking us centuries off course. As
a result we now have a science of dark matter,
dark energy, time travel, parallel universes,
10 dimensions, virtual particles, several theories
of gravity, and on it goes with no end in sight.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
Just got a signed and ghosted copy of 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill for free from work! Ghosted means he drew a little picture of a ghost in the upper left-hand part of the page before signing the bottom right-hand corner. I'll read that after I finish the long-put-aside Foucault's Pendulum and the halfway finished A Confederacy Of Dunces.

Congrats, Fruno, that's great! It's a really good book too.

Finished THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy. Great book.
Now: FRAGILE THINGS by Neil Gaiman
Evidence of Harm D. Kirby
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
I'm reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy omnibus.
I heard that was really good
So far it's one of the best things I've ever read.
Props to Rjeso for turning me on to Adam's work.
Let me know how it is, Patrick.
I finished Good Omens on Saturday night. I enjoyed it, however I wish that there had been more scenes involving Crowley and Azipharel, those were my favorite.
Now, to finish Catch - 22.
Fragile things is great Feev. Theres a story about Shadow in there which was the main reason I bought it - bu every story in the collection was brilliant.
i re-read the entire series at least once a year. it was an offhand mention of an SEP while we were dating that made me sure jeff was the one for me.So far it's one of the best things I've ever read.
Props to Rjeso for turning me on to Adam's work.
Best....omnibus....ever.
