*slaps head* Oh, yeah, I think that was my first Saul.I think that's The God Project.

Good for you, Patrick. If you're interested in a group read, I'll let you know when we start the third one. If not, let's at least have a beer over it!!!That must be my problem. Long ago I read the first two volumes and then never picked up another HP book because they did not hold my interest. Based on all the avid fandom around here, and the glowing reviews that SK has written about the series, I'll try them again sometime.
We'll finish the first one this weekend, and then read a few things before we read the second...I suspect March or early April for the third.

People love frozen yogurt. I don't know what to tell you.
I'm sorry, that's all I heard.blah blah blah let's at least have a beer over it!!!That must be my problem.

I better go back and read the first two again.

I tried reading Into The Wild with no luck. So I rented it on audio at the library and started to listen to it on my way to my parents house. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Getting away from my daily busy business life I am reading The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis. It's light and lovely.
Roland would have understood.
Jean, perhaps you have already answered this in a previous thread that I have not come across, but I am curious... when you read the DT books the first time, was it in English or Russian? If it was the latter, how well does it translate? I am fascinated by things like that as I [unfortunately] only speak one language.
I read all King in English except The Dead Zone, which I first read when I didn't know a word in English (I understood later that the translation was good. It was published when the Great Russian/Soviet school of translation hadn't died yet). When I learn a language I try to read only in the original, and King books became accessible to me (they began to be sold here, and Russian people were at last allowed to travel abroad) when I already knew enough English to read such things. All King translations I've ever leafed through since The Dead Zone were abominable.
