Yes and then remembering where they all are on the map.

Currently reading Clash of Kings too. Only a few chapters in but I'm enjoying it. Strangely the first book is still fresh in my head and I can remember the main plots of A Game of Thrones quite well. Good read.

 

[Firawyn]

Don't stop reading until you reach the end or all of what's in your head will "fly!", as young Robert Arryn would say.

Yay will hate me, but I'm still trying to finish the Ender's Shadow series. I am about to finish Shadow of the Hegemon, and need Shadow of the Giant next.
Also, since I learned that a film version of it was in the works, I thought of reading Sabriel. Anyone here have an opinion of Garth Nix? Is he good?

Just finished Terry Pratchett's Night Watch this morning. Funny, as always. Men at Arms, though, has always been my favourite Discworld novel (though Rincewind and Cohen are my favourite characters).

Goiung back to cyberpunk and reading Burning Chrome by William Gibson next, get into the swing of short stories again. Also have the two-volume Best of Robert E. Howard that I have yet to get into. SHould be a good summer for reading, anyway. Once exams finished I started devouring the books I really wanted to read at what is becoming an increasingly alarming rate.

Garth Nix is AMAZING! I have read and re-read the Abhorsan Trilogy too many times to count. (Sabriel is book one in the Abhorsan Trilogy)

He ranks up there with Tolkien in description, imagination, character development, and just plain class!

Great! I will collect him then. Thanks!

You collect away!


And do let me know what you think.

I've recently started "The Road Ahead" by Bill Gates. I find it very interesting. In this book Gates lays out his vision of an interconnected world built around the Internet. As he said, the book may be popular now (when it was published), but in 20 years people may laught at it - a part of his prediction might come true, others won't. After 20 years, when I look back into time, I hope to remember this book and see which guesses were right

 

[Echo]

I finished La Vagabonde, and I've started The Gunslinger by Stephen King.

At this point I'm not reading any books. Been extremely busy with a major photography shoot. I'll have much more about that in a few months. I'm also busy with UCLA support groups and managing their websites and supplying their photography. The only steady reading I've been doing lately is bills and medical records...

Commutation - a novel by Leonid Kaganov (russian science fiction writer)

[e.Blackstar]

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra" (Nietchze, or however you spell his name)
"A History of God" (Karen Armstrong)

Just finished "Stone Butch Blues" by Leslie Feinberg, and handed it off to my girlfriend.

 

[Majimaune]

Is it just me not posting overly much on here or have you not been here for a while Blackstar?

I'm reading Ender's Game and quite enjoying it.

'Rolling Stone: Interviews' It's a collection of the best interviews since Rolling Stone began until two years ago (I think). Includes interviews with Pete Townshend, David Geffen, Phil Spector, Ray Charles, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Andy Warhol and many many more.

 

[Illuin]

Nintendo Power. No, actually a friend of mine recommended “Pillars of the Earth” by Ken Follett. I’m about halfway through. It’s not as good as I was led to believe, but I’ll finish it anyway .

 

[Firawyn]

Just finished reading "The Shack", by William Young. It was...interesting. I quite honestly haven't decided how I felt about it...there were alot of places where I related so much it made me angry, or made me cry, and other places that made me think "maybe there is hope after all".

Worth the read. Makes you think.
