I was looking forward to the last book too but not that much.

Well, you didn't let Harry Potter engulf your literary childhood, like I did. And I don't regret it.

Just finished "Descent" by Jeff Long. 2nd best book I've ever read, and CREEEPY.

Re-reading For Us, The Living - Heinlein's last book.

As close to a Utopia as I can envision... maaaybe would be a little better with a little of Aldous Huxley's Island mixed in.

I'm about halfway through The Great Mortality by John Kelly. It's been alternately fascinating and utterly depressing at times.

DanaC · 05-01-2007, 05:38 PM

Halfway through E.P Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class. Excellent book.

Dime Store Magic - Kelley Armstrong

(i have Industrial Magic as my next up, unless I decide to read The Criminalization of Christianity first.)

I'm re-reading the Pendragon Cycle: Taliesin, Merlin, Arthur. I'm half way thru Merlin. I read these a long time ago.....while in Jr high? looks like there are 2 new books i never read. Pendragon and Grail.

I didn't have very high expectations, so I thought it was okay. Not so okay that I'm going to get the rest of her books, though.

Reading (re-reading?) The Stand by Stephen King. It's the 'uncut' version. A bit tedious, but some good stuff to take out of it. I have found that my reading preferences have changed much since High School!

Ibby · 05-08-2007, 08:44 AM

As a matter of fact, I tried re-reading that last week (or two weeks ago or something like that).

I just couldnt. I got about a hundred pages in and just... couldnt do it again. Not worth it.
