    New Moon - Stephanie Meyer Yes I got sucked into the series, but they are actually pretty good........

    I read the first one and hated it. You should be warned I've heard bad things about the last book.

    Just finished "Heartsick" by Chelsea Cain, a serial killer book with a Hannibal Lecter type killer who's in jail. Was really good for awhile and then kind of trailer off.

    Now reading "The Raw Shark Texts". Really weird, but compelling.

    i'm not sure. i just finished stephen king's 'gunslinger.' it was pretty good, but not sure i'm ready to dive forward with the series. i've had george rr martin's 'game of thrones' on my shelf for weeks and want to read it, but ever since the wheel of time debacle i'm leery of diving into a huge epic fantasy series that isn't finished and has no projection for when it may be.

    so i'm considering reading either 'songs of innocence' by richard aleas (hard case crimes) or diving into tad williams' dragonbone chair. at least that series is done.
    and like that... he's gone.

    Re-reading the Alchemist.
    Perfect time in my life to pick this gem back up.

    I have The House of Seven Gables lined up after it. :eek: Another re-read.

    Just finished The Last Lecture for my book club.

    Blood River by Tim Butcher
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I am surprised you are reading it since it doesn't have words like boobies and poopie-head.

    when you've read Dostoevsky and Rimbaud i feel a little boobie and poop head can be a little light refreshment.

    who is... i'm on page 217.. no blue scants yet.

    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I was obsessed when he first began writing these. I was so mad when he stopped. I wonder about picking them up again. Are they as awesome as I remember???

    Well I've only just started II but I'm enjoying it. I managed to buy all 7 on the bay pretty cheap but they are the new ones as he has kind of rewritten the first few so I don't know how different they are to what you read.

    The Dark Tower is pretty good, but I was disappointed with the last three books. The ending of the series was disappointing too. And I am a huge King fan.

    i have heard this from a lot of people. it's made me a bit leery of investing myself in it, especially since i've recently kicked off a couple of other series'

    Finished Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon, very good.
    And am half way through The Watchmen. My first graphic novel, and it's pretty good so far.
