    I started this. What do you think of it so far? I don't read essays much, and it gets a little tedious.

    It's ok. I just read "The Ruins" by Scott Smith which was a fast paced horror novel so I always try to pick something up next that is in a different direction. I am almost finished the Venus part now. I agree it is a little tedious, especially when she gets into the mythology of where the planets got their names. I really enjoy reading about what the planets are like and the different missions that have been sent out to learn more about them. The good thing is that it is not that long and there are illustrations so it shouldn't take that long to get through.

    I'm reading Stephen King's "The Waste Lands." This is the third book from the Dark Tower series. Pretty good.

    How silently serene a sea of pride!
    How daring an ambition! yet how deep--
    How fathomless a capacity for love!

    Both are very good.

    Sweet, the Dark Towers series is my favourite book series and story. I love these books, and read them all. I will once again tackle them.

    In The Waste Lands, I loved the part with Blaine the Mono. Classic. Then that huge bear was great. Book 4 was unbelievable, you will really like that one. It's very emotional, it delves into Roland's childhood, which was very tragic. Wow, good luck, enjoy these books :)

    I just started reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.

    I have read the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, and thought I would give another of his books a read. Just started, so I am 40 pages in, but it seems rather interesting. I think I will enjoy it

    Yeah I think book 4 might be my favorite which is funny because I hated it when I first read it. But I reread it when book 5 came out and it was really good.

    Several.

    I was reading Time Enough For Love by Robert Heinlein, but I got halfway through and needed something a little let tiresome, so now i'm reading the K-PAX trilogy by Gene Brewer.

    For a university project, i'm also reading MANY books, one at this moment in time is Kepler's Physical Astronomy. I'm on here as I needed a break from it!
