Just started The Great Gatsby. I thought I had read it already but I doesn't ring a bell so far. And I'm only reading one book? It's like the Twilight Zone :eek: (Ah... Binghamton)
Also, this is one of the best threads on the whole board!
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Blood River, by Tim Butcher.
It's a good book, but difficult to read for long periods, it's about a journalist retracing a journey through the African Congo. Very interesting, but he can't seem to give you a name, or an encounter without backing it up with 2 pages of political history to explain it's significance......I get it allready, Africa is screwed up with dictators and rebels...I don't need their names and their background, I can't possibly remember it all, just tell me about the trip dood!

I agree this is a great thread!
I never got through Gatsby, not because it was bad I just was reading it at a time when I would start books and not finish them. Now I plow through anything I read no matter how bad, or how long it takes!

"We have to change the concept of patriotism to one of “matriotism” — love of humanity that transcends war. A matriarch would never send her own children off to wars that kill other people’s children."

right now I'm re-reading "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, which is hilarious I love it, reading it for the fourth time or something.
and I'm also reading Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment"... and I like it. lots of people shoot me strange looks when they see what I'm reading but I really like his way of writing and describing things...
Kids! Bringing about Armageddon can be dangerous. Do not attempt it in your own home.
I found it a little slow and a little bit of a let down after Cell, but I did enjoy how it ended.

I know you didn't ask me, but I enjoyed it! I liked the idea of a writer having to "go down to a pool" for inpiration. The Big Boy was creepy too. I read it when it first came out, so I could be wrong about things, but that's what I remember.

lol, that's cool rrivers.
Yeah, that Big Boy was really creepy. I don't know, I did find it slow, but maybe it was cause I thought Cell had a kind of classic King feel to it, and maybe I was expecting another one of those. Like I said, I did enjoy how it ended and I think it made reading Duma Key all the more enjoyable because I really like that one, and it was closer to Lisey's Story than Cell.

I know what you mean about King's writing now, it definitely seems more long winded, etc. I am reading "Salem's Lot" now and it is more streamlined.

I liked it. I was finding Lisey a little too difficult to really pull for but eventually it came. The back story on Scott's childhood was incredible...just insanely engulfing. I really liked it.

I have been having trouble getting into books lately so I thought this would get me going.
I am also about halfway through "Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris.
and I'm also reading Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment"... and I like it. lots of people shoot me strange looks when they see what I'm reading
What did you think of that Vedderlution ?

Great book!
