I like White Fang way better than The Call of the Wild, though now I'm thinking I should re-read both.

I just finished Precious (that poor girl!) and now am reading Two Rivers. It's OK.

Not yet, but it is on my rather extensive to read list. I'm trying to work my way through some of the books I've bought and downloaded first, though.

Currently reading:

Second Coming - David H. Burton
Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy (the big cataclysm brought magic back to the Earth, events of the book take place a couple hundred years post fall)

Robinson Crusoe - Daniel DeFoe
Never read it when I was supposed to. It was free Kindle content.

Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
Excerpts from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. I think I got it because it was part of a "members selection" (book we send you if you forget tell us not to, and it's a hassle to send it back after you open the box because you don't remember what you ordered or didn't, so you might as well just pay for it) from One Spirit Book Club

Dominion and Common Grace - Gary North
This is the book I leave in the special tiled reading room. I would probably be getting more out of it if I were reading it all at one shot rather than a paragraph here and a paragraph there.

I think that's it for right now ...

Just finished River of Doubt, great read for anyone who enjoys some off beat history.

Wolf, check out Sleeping, Dreaming, and Dying; An exploration of Consciousnes with The Dali Lama, Edited and narrated by Fancisco Varlea, Ph. D.

Glad it's on your list. I thought it was an amazing book. Sent it round the family when I was done.

Human Croquet - Kate Atkinson.

Perfect, perfect novel.

Milrose Munce and the Den of Professional Help - Douglas Anthony Cooper
Hilarious. It's about a kid who chats with the multitude of ghosts in his school, and then gets noticed and it's decided that he needs Professional Help.

The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - Stieg Larsson
Final book in the Millennium Series.

skysidhe · 05-26-2010, 02:06 PM

I read Dead and Gone. If I had known I was going to be mildly entertained I wouldn't have started with the last of the series first. Oh well, I went ahead and bought two others in the series. It was a protest buy after buying a book that I dislike. I am reading it right now. The protagonist is an anti-protagonist. ( abused women who is more screwed up than the man she is married to. I can't believe a man wrote it. ) I hate her and the author too. I can't wait to finish it.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest is on Pre-order. This is a good series. I highly recommend them.

GunMaster357 · 05-27-2010, 03:21 AM

Corsair by C. Cussler and J. Du Brul (in English)

GunMaster357 · 05-31-2010, 07:31 AM

The Last Centurion - John Ringo (in English)

Also, other the next few weeks, I intend to read the Koran (in a French translation).

That's to follow the time honored principle : know your ennemy.

It's even more intricate that the first two. I also recommend the series!
