I'm having a geeky week (well, one more, some might say) I'm reading Spawn comics and the latest Terry Pratchett, "Thud!".
Just finished "Battle of Corrin" [Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson], which I highly recommend both that series and the other Dune prequal series for anyone who liked Dune (the real one, not that movie from the 80s :sick: )
Imaginative Writing - Janet Burroway
Black Boy - Richard Wright
Persuasion - Jane Austen
I certainly agree, but weren't you disappointed at the apparent ease of the vanquishing of Agamemnon and the other remaining cymeks? :blink:Quote:

Careful "loving" anything written by Ayn Rand; the membership here is largely socialist/communist and are, by default, anti-Rand.Quote:

Very; it's a fun read. I really know I oughtn't re-read it so closely before going to see it in the theatre, but I can't help it. :blushing:

The Virgin Blue - Tracy Chevalier
Re-reading 1984, wow I was too young back then to even understand wtf was going on, loving this book so far, almost done. Anyone know if there is actually a Goldstein's book out there somewhere, or maybe a lengthier explanation, you know how 1984 has a book inside a book going on (page 192 in 1984).
The book The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism is fictional. Goldstein's character is based on Leon Trotsky.Quote:

:shuriken:
Girl With I read before Blue and loved it. As soon as I finished up that book, I headed straight to the book store and bought her others!Quote:
