Just finished "Terminal Freeze" by Lincoln Child. I liked "Deep Storm" a lot more.

Starting on "The Sahdow of Ararat" by Thomas Harlan

Vanity Fair for a stinkin' Buddy Read. I remember why I didn't read it in high school and relied on the Monarch Notes version.

Don't cover up the sprinkles!

Hebe and Thor loved it, Hector is busy with the book he has to read for school.

I've just finished the second book of Steig Larrsen's Millenium series. I found the first book a bit of a drag to get into, but once I got there, it was great. Last night I was up till 3 am finishing the second book. (I looked at the clock at 10.30 and decided to give myself another hour. Next time I looked - after turning the last page - it was just before 3am.)

I'll get started on the third one tonight, although I don't expect to last long. I think I'll crash before I finish the first chapter.

read those too! great books.

donch'a hate falling asleep when you're trying to read? I do.

I'm reading the old Niven book (Crashlander), which turned out to be a somewhat new Niven book, made up of old Niven stories interspersed with mini-chapters connecting them into a new story. Sort of like I, Robot. The old stories are great, not sure yet about the new stuff.

Yay! :)

I'm reading A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley.

Still couldn't find the Room book at the 'brary. I can see it when I search online, that they at least own it, but the online card catalog shows no returns to searches for title or author. I'm smart enough to go to that section of fiction for the last name, but there is a big gaping hole.

Now I can't find the book searching the online card catalog for my library. I swear I saw it. How can they NOT have it?

I suppose I could have them order it from another 'brary. Or maybe I'll go to the county 'brary in my hometown.

edit: nope, checked out there.

just put it on hold.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

[quote=infinite monkey;722790]Yay! :)

I'm reading A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley.

I read another one by her-The Real Life Adventures of Lidie Newton or something. It looked really boring, but ended up being a compulsive read.

Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker - Gerry Davis
(Getting to the end of the Hartnell's finally)
Darkover (Short Stories) - Marion Zimmer Bradley
(reread for a book club, feel obligated because it was my suggestion and won the poll)
Vanity Fair - William Makepeace Thackeray
(still going. It is long.)

Dean Koontz' "Frankenstein: Book Four: Lost Souls"

I have just started this series, with book four.

Anybody else read them? Should I read the others first? It appears like it's gonna stand alone fairly well, most of Koontz' related stories/series read pretty good w/o the previous books...

Just fisnished "Level 26: Dark Origins" by Anthony E. Zuiker

I liked the web enhancements.
