So anyone reading anything good? or has read something good lol?

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we dont know what to do.

Currently reading Surprised by Joy by C.S. Lewis. Not my favorite thing by him, but pretty good. It's an autobiography, but fairly interesting, IMO. I find most biographical works a bit dry...

Maus, also Microserfs.

Good reads.

Hello!
just joined up and thought I would add my favorite reads! (I read ALOT!)
Anything by:
Ann Mcaffery (The Dragonriders of Pern trilogy is my fav)
Robert Jordan- The Wheel of Time series is outstanding!
Diana Giboldan's Outlander novels
Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series
Tad Williams's Otherland trilogy
Dean R Koonz Any of his books are great
Stephen R Donaldson The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (1,2 & last)

So that's a start .. so many books to read so little time to read them!



do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and go well with catsup!

I just finished "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold. They are making it into a movie soon too. It kind of gets a little slow in the middle with all the details but, picks up again with a good ending.

I am now reading "Everyone Worth Knowing" by Lauren Weisberger. It's a lot less involved which is much needed. (Still great if you are looking for a distraction!) Not very far into it yet though.

Terry Pratchett - "Pyramids".

A couple of his later books (eg Monstrous Regiment) are a little weak but generally you can't go wrong with him.

Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I used to read a lot, but I don't anymore... I can't find anything good anymore. A few years ago I finished reading the entire fiction section at my library from A to Z (I literally went down the line and read every book), at a rate of about 3-4 books (~1000 pages) a day. It took about two years (not that huge of a library), but I did it. But I've run out of stuff to read other than magazines, blogs, forums, reference books/non-fiction, etc...

Out of everything I've read, fiction-wise, at least, I enjoyed the 'classics' (other than Moby &nbsp;! Bleh!) the most. 'Classics' are 'Classics' for a reason--they're good! Aside from the writers of 'Classics', Kurt Vonnegut and William Sleator are two of my favorite fiction authors.

I'll have to give some of the authors and books listed in here a shot... there are bound to be some new ones...

Just finished "metal Swarm " by Kevin Anderson and am currently reading " Sandworms of Dune " the last in the series from an outline written by Frank Herbert before he died and written by his son Brian as well as Kevin Anderson .
Also just finished " The Dreaming Void " by Peter F Hamiliton a great British writer who lives near my wife's realitives in Exton , Rutland Shire, England . He is a first class writer .

Sci Fi rules !!!!!!

Terry Pratchett

Although I disagree with Monstrous Regiment, I think it was quite well done, but being a girl I guess I get a lot more of the funny than some would. The coffee bit tends to get me giggling every time.

Just finished rereading a David Eddings book, working on something I found at the library but haven't gotten into it much.

Next book I read will be the bee one that everyone seemed to be buzzing about.

Two friends mentioned it to me within a week.

The Amazon Nut...

Janet Evanovich,The Stephanie Plum series.
Anyone read those? They are good, pretty comical, not the entire book though.

There are 12 now ( I think ) anyways good stuff.
