Reading through the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series again. I've read all the books before, but I enjoy re-reading the story, I always pick up something new and different.
On deck is The Steel Remains by Richard K Morgan.

Excellent read- best fiction I have read in over a decade and I am only half-way in.
My wife is reading it now. When she was half-way through, she didn't like it, but now she does, and wants me to read it. I'd be interested to hear what you thought about it after you've finished it.Quote:

Just After Sunset- Stephen King's latest collection of short stories. Pretty good but I think he's mellowed with age.
Just finished Tweak: Growing up on Methamphetamines. Not great, but realistic. And oh so much better than Jas. Frey's A Million Little Pieces (of Bullshit).
Current: A Lion Among Men - great writer. And, Power of the Dog.

I started this novel previously, and I don't think I finished it.
This time I will.

A great read. I can see how some people would not like it. I do not feel like the author is trying to re-invent the spiritual wheel. Everything (except the fictional characters) has biblical context. I found this book to put a lot of basic, yet complex concepts in practical terms. Further, it does a great job in helping to strip everything down to what matters most- relationships. It is a book that I could read once a year and get something out of...Quote:

So, I casually picked up this book on Thursday and will probably finish it tonight. I can't say it's the best fiction I've read in a decade, but there's something about it that keeps me plugging away at it every chance I get. It's definitely compelling, however.Quote:

Need to learn how to take full advantage of my new Nikon D40.
The Poem of the Cid - gotta teach a bunch of freshmen about Medieval Spain thursday, and this was one of their readings...
I just finished reading Watchmen, the whole thing took me maybe 3 days of reading off and on. Now I'm really excited to go see the movie and even more excited to get more Alan Moore books, I've already read his "Batman: The Killing Joke"
I'm still working on Duma Key, by Stephen King, but I only read that in bed so it's taking a little while.
Right now I'm working on some Middle East Politics book for class. Soooooo hard to concentrate on.
Killing Joke is a classic. Need to pick up Watchmen after i finish Arkham Asylum.
Notes from a small Island ~ Bill Bryson
I started this tonight for beddie bye for the bay bay

Bill Bryson is the chancellor of my school... And the only reason for that is because of Notes from a Small Island (Durham's the only place he doesn't slag off in there). He's a nice guy, enjoys talking to Americans when he meets them...
