I read "Wicked" and thought it was just ok. Parts of it were really good and parts were really slow. When I first started "Wicked", I thought it was going to be fantastic but it didn't maintain the momentum. I read "Confessions" and thought it was better but still not that great. It was an interesting story until the whole going to the ball part that made it too much Cinderella for me. I know it is based on it, but that part really turned me off.
I finished "Lost" in January and was again disappointed. "Lost" was probably the worst of the three.
Why do I keep reading him if I don't like his book? Excellent question. I have "Son of a Witch" in my stack to read as well."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -
I liked Wicked and Son of a Witch, but then again, I've been told my tastes in literature are unusual.
Right now, I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman and I love it. Fortunately, other, more normal people like it, too, so I can recommend it without (much) worry.The Daystar
"But --you say that Dreams have no power here? Tell me, Lucifer Morningstar...Ask yourselves, all of you...What power would hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to Dream of Heaven?" Dream speaking to Lucifer as written by Neil Gaiman.0 -

Also, I'm not a fan of books on tape ... I have a hard time focusing, I'd rather read the book myself ... but I can recommend his. It's funny hearing him and his sister, the inflections in their voices ... very entertaining!"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630 -

I read most of "Me Talk Pretty One Day" and thought it was hilarious. I never finished it for some reason, but I can't remember why not. I need to pick it up again."We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -
at the mountains of madness - hp lovecraft.
i finally settled into the school thing so hopefully i can get some reading done now.0 -
Runner's World Performance Nutrition for Runners by Matt Fitzgerald and The Assassins' Gate, America in Iraq by George Packer (Just started.)
I recently finished The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan, and I have another craving for incredibly well-written non-fiction. Thus, the George Packer book which is well recommended. The Timothy Egan book was excellent! Easily a 4.5/5 stars.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird0 -
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is O.K. so far but I am looking forward to re-reading all the Vonnegut books. It has been a few years since I read them.0

I just started reading "Under the Banner of Heaven". Even though I am only a small way into it I am really enjoying it. Truly amazing what people believe and what lengths religious fanatics go to
Although when they are explaining who marries who it gets very complicated when a fifteen year old marries her uncle and then his niece marries that girl's father and .. it is just.. crazy :eek: Very well written book though.

Well since I killed this thread
I thought I might attempt to bring it back to life..;)
Although I am still reading the book in my last post I just got this other book from the library so I have to get through it by Monday. I am not usually into John Grisham except for maybe " A Time to Kill" but his new book of non fiction "The Innocent Man" is really quite good but really quite scary that this can happen. Maybe it was already mentioned but besides being a thread killer evidently I am also a lazy arse tonight who won't flip back through the many pages and look.

I'm currently reading 'I hope they serve beer in Hell' by Tucker Max, as recommended by someone on this thread who's name I forget.
I'm also reading 'The art of always being right - Thirty eight ways to win when you are defeated' By Arthur Schopenhauer.0 -
