Day of the Triffids
The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan.
I read that a while back. It's actually the beginning of the second trilogy... the first trilogy is also worth reading. Thomas Covenant is a very interesting character... an anti-hero in a hero's position. The series can be depressing at times. It would have been better to take a happier character along with Covenant instead of that whiny doctor...the comparison of a hero and anti-hero might have made the book more bearable.Quote:

I've moved on to Wizard of the Pigeons, by Megan Lindholm. It's set in Seattle, and as it turns out, homeless folk are actually very powerful wizards sworn to protect their cities.
The Street Lawyer, John Grisham.
The Art of War - about time i got down to reading it too..
William Golding:- the inheritors
Speaks the Nightbird by: Robert McCammon (two book series) just finished about 4 days ago then
Song of Kali By: Dan Simmons read that in 2 days ... holy crap its a good book and i highly recomend !
Mystery Walk by: Robert McCammon i am almost done with that one now ... i love to read when i am on the bus or at werk with down time ^^

I'm about halfway through The Borne Identity by Robert Ludlum, so far, so good.
[q]I just finished reading 2 books, A History of Love by Nicole Krauss, and Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. I enjoyed both muchly. [/q]
I saw the latter in the bookstores, and I read the blurb -- it looked hilarious. Really wanted to buy it but I didn't. Alack.
I'm reading "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde (it's a subliminally awesome book -- I love Wilde so much!), "A Knife of Dreams" by Robert Jordan and "The Novel" by James A. Michener.
I think I'll put "The Novel" on pause though -- two books at once is more than enough.
I dont read i burn books

Probably go with the latter so I can tie it into an essay I need to write. I do feel organised because I've made myself a summer reading list.
