I just started Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer today. I know, I should have seen the movie first so I could at least enjoy the movie, but with the monster taking up all my time, I only see a movie bimonthly (that means six a year for those of you not versed in my native tongue)

i read that several years ago at the urging of a friend. even though it's not even remotely something i'd even consider picking up on my own, i remember enjoying it very much.

i just starting reading honeymoon with my brother by franz wisner.

What am I reading? Not vampire's posts. That's for certain.

I finished "Shards of Honour" by Lois McMaster Bujold the other night when I couldn't sleep.

I started re-reading Robert Silverberg's "Majipoor" trilogy recently. I last read it back in high school and I've forgotten how good it is. I just finished Lord Valentine's Castle and I started Valentine Pontifex yesterday.

I just started Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I've never read it before.

I just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I really enjoyed it.

The Dirk Gently books rock.

And I just looked up that other book, which sounds really good. Unfortunately the wiki-pedia entry contains some spoilers when detailing the story and plot.

I'm nearly finished Thanks For The Memories by Cecelia Ahern, it's easy going fluff!

And The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime is an awesome book!! (So is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightdress)

i thought the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime sucked.

That's a pretty good series. I was pretty impressed with how willing he has been through the whole series not to bend from the dictates of the story.

when you are engulfed in flames by david sedaris.

livingeek · « **Reply #563 on:** June 11, 2008, 02:36:34 AM »

Right now I am reading the second book in "The First Law" series. It's called "Before They Are Hanged". Very good read. Trying to read it slow cause I still can't get a straight answer as to whether or not the third book is out yet or not.

The_FOO · « **Reply #564 on:** June 11, 2008, 10:46:08 AM »

I hate that about trilogies or series books. Waiting up to a year or more between volumes can suck.

yeah, thats it. its not that im stupid or have a very short attention span but all in all the fact that the author is able to take a great idea and fully materialize it within a short book is a huge reason why im a fan of Stienbeck

Min · « **Reply #568 on:** June 17, 2008, 10:37:08 AM »

I liked that book alot.

I finished Wicked and now I'm reading The Summons by John Grisham.

i would just like to say that, for the first time in my life, i am not so impressed with david sedaris's work. this book just isn't holding my attention.

I just started reading "A Game of Thrones" by George R. R. Martin (book 1 of 7 in the A Song of Ice and Fire series). Only about 10 chapters in, I read slow >_>...

That's an awesome series, and reading slow isn't a bad thing. By the time you're done with book 5, the other two might actually be out.

Having finally finished my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tome, I've decided to take a break from the series before starting Mostly Harmless and instead am reading Potato Queen. The reason why I am not going forward with Mostly Harmless is because So Long and Thanks for all the Fish made very little sense to me.

AppleJax · « **Reply #573 on:** June 20, 2008, 01:27:54 PM »

Hitchhikers Guide is a classic. Well I am finally done reading some stupid girl novels (The Twlight Series and the Posion Study series) and I have started my first grapic novel- "The Watchman"

Anyone here read it? Its pretty cool, I am not sure if i am the comic book type though.

Min · « **Reply #574 on:** June 21, 2008, 09:40:36 AM »

Finished The Summons. That was pretty good.

Now I'm reading State of Fear by Michael Crichton.
