    Yeah that book is a fantastic classic.

    Right now I'm reading 'A Wild Sheep Chase' by Haruki Murakami. What a brilliant author he is. His books are excellent.
    Sig please.

    The Dark Tower V: The Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King. It's the fifth book of his Dark Tower series, which I've never taken time to finish until now. Father Callahan ftw. (SPOILER)I am happy to know what happens to him after the events of 'Salem's Lot.

    I need to reread It someday too.

    So yes. The Stand. I'm also reading The Remains of the Day, partly because I've wanted to for awhile, but it's also for an English assignment. So I have to annotate it and blegh. I wish I could just relax and enjoy it.

    Also for English, I am reading...Shakespeare Alive, I think it's called. Yuck.

    Too much.

    It made me happy, as well. Wolves might be my favorite Dark Tower book. I like the respite the gunslingers get in the Calla.

    The Remains of the Day is one of the most heartbreaking things I've read in my entire life. It's still great, though. I hope you enjoy it.

    I just finished The Goddess and the Bull Catalhoyuk: An Archaeological Journey to the Dawn of Civilization for my anthropology class. I hope to read The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin over my spring break, and if I get the chance, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. If I have even more time on my hands, I might finally get around to reading The Dubliners by James Joyce. Later in the semester, I hope to read As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, and polish off the collected fairy and folk tales of W.B. Yeats.

    I really need some new books to read, especially for summer. I'm trying to get through the classics, so if anyone has any suggestions in that vein, I'm all ears.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Ditto. It's just awesome, really. I've been trying to imagine Castlevania music whilst I read it.

    Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space. A very cool sci fi that actually uses decent science and portrays an interesting (and I think believable) view on human civilisation five hundred years hence.

    Michael Crichton is a good way to become well read. The books deal with loads of technology, and cautionary themes. And at the end he recommends non-fiction for those interested in the topic. I have all his books.
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan
