I thought that was absolutely horrible, and only read it because I wanted to have something to do while I was waiting to buy The Shining. :laugh: What are you thinking of it? I WONDER IF YOU WILL BUY THE SEQUEL.Originally Posted by cloud_doll
I also finished Remains of the Day a few minutes ago. =( Totally cried. Kazuo Ishiguro is good at making me do that.

I'm not reading anything, it bores me.

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
I've just read all of Paulo Coelho's available novels (except The Fifth Mountain).
Now I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for the third time. I'll read Half-Blood Prince next for the second time.
Can't wait for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! It's bound July 21st.
Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
I can't wait either, then I can stop hearing people talk about it.

"Finding Darwin's God" by Kenneth R. Miller.
I've just finished "A Feast for Crows" by George R.R. Martin.
Currently I'm reading "The Godfather" by Mario Puzo
And after that I've got "Winterwood" by Patrick McCabe to read.
Money, power, sex... and elephants.

"Dragons of Autumn Twillight", "Dragons of Winter Night" and "Dragons of Spring Dawning" by Tracy Hickman and Margaret T. Weiss. I love those books.
The Bible According to Mark Twain.
I just finished American Gods -- which had an amazing ending. For some reason I wasn't expecting anything more than a mediocre ending at all.
Now I'm reading Perdido Street Station by China Miéville. It's weird, disturbing, and extremely gross. I don't know if I'll be able to read the whole thing. -.-
I am reading for the second time, Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I personally love reading Bradley's work, it is always fascinating. She tends to do much research when writing her books, thus making it more realistic in spite of them being of the fantasy genre. Firebrand itself starts slightly before the fall of Troy and the Trojan War. It is told from the perspective of Kassandra (Cassandra). It includes, much like Bradley's Avalon series, aspects of Goddess worship and its encounters with patriarchal religions (this case being the Olympic deities).
I'm on a max brooks zombie buffet. I first bought 'The Zombie Survival Guide' after finding it on a rogue trip to Chapters/Indigo (not sure if it's a usa franchaise). I then found out that Max Brooks had very recently (as in the last 1/2 year) published yet another Zombie book illustrating a class 4 Zombie invasion (worldwide instead of nation-wide).
So I bought THAT book too (World War Z) and now every so often I re-read portions of WWZ. It's pretty cool.
Made me wonder though -- why do all Zombie movies have to be social commentaries, not mindless violence?
Even Resident Evil has a tiny bit of social commentary on biological engineering. Maybe I should watch House of the Dead..../groan
