I haven't been reading lately. I go in spurts where I will read 4 or 5 books in a row and then take a break. I'm in one of those breaks right now. I've got a bunch of books to read too.
I think I'll pick up Neil Gaiman - Good Omens.

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley.
Dune - by Frank Herbert. its a great book! i enjoy with every page.
On the road - Kerouac...reading it again, was the only half-descent thing my girlfriend had, so i took it to work with me, but the weekend is dedicated to louis-ferdinand celine and his journey :-)
I have breaks like that enforced by the library. They call me wanting their book back (on hold for someone else) when I'm only half through it.Quote:

Interested in this one too:

I'm currently reading "The Amber Spyglass".
im currently reading all the harry potters over im on goblet of fire im trying to read em to refresh for the new one
I'm always between a couple at one time.
At present I'm reading Drummin' Men by Bud Korall.
It a bunch of mini-biographies of the drummers of the swing era from the early 30's on.
It's impecably researched with loads of interviews.
I'm also reading the Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson.
This book is the "Da Vinci Code" of the 70's.
It's unbelievable : )
taming of the shrew - shakespeare
Dark tower, the first one now
I read that about a month ago for the first time, it really was amazing, it was my first Vonnegut book, I'm almost done with Hocus Pocus, which while also good thus fur is not quite as good. I've got Slaughterhouse-Five lined up for when I finish this...and this series I'm reading by Tim Dorsey which I picked up because he's supposed to be liked by Carl Hiaasen fans, but I found him far from as good. The first book, Florida Roadkill wasn't any good until the end, which sucked me in...only to find out that it was the first in a series, now I can't stop reading until I find out how it ends. The second book, Hammerhead Ranch Motel was significantly better but not as clever or as satirical as Hiaasen.Quote:
