I could kiss the man for his sense of humour. Wonderful read, every single time!

Good stuff. I'm currently re-reading Revolutionary Nonviolence, by Dave Dellinger. I just finished Limbo, by Aldous Huxley.

current book : Fast Food Nation.

I also bought Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I plan on reading afterwards.

On the inside jacket of The Da Vinci Code the bold letters spell something...don't remember what.

Stephen King's "IT" (Still scares me at the age of 20, not while reading it as much, just when I'm around the house at night)

I just finished re-reading that one too. The ending's always disppointing though.. I want Pennywise to win

Great. GREAT book.

I really like how he tied the plot into Salem's Lot, Hearts in Atlantis, and the Stand. All hail the crimson king!

Besides It, I recently read Tales of H.P. Lovecraft (cool, creepy, kind of hard reading)

At the thrift shop yesterday, I got these books for $.10 each-

Orn- Piers Anthony
Planet of Twilight- Barbara Hambley (A STAR WARS book )

I think I'll start with the star wars book. Right now.

I read that a month or two ago...and thought it wasn't that good, but pretty cool in its own way. Do you like it?

Still reading Les Misérables..1300 pages of this type of writing takes a while. (English)

Thus far, yes. Because of the way it ties in to the philosophy I've learned thus far. And... well, I won't read it to analyze it quite yet. The first reading will be solely for pleasure. A question, though. Did it make you believe in God?

I have the urge to re-read A Clockwork Orange

Nope. Or..I'm no atheist, but this book didn't suddenly make me believe in God more than before, so to speak.

Guy Gavriel Kay - The Last Light of the Sun

Kay is by far the best fantasy author ever. PLUS he's Canadian!

Thanks to whoever recommended it to me.

Great book. Now I've gotta rent Bladerunner, the movie based on it.

Oh wow, I was just thinking about posting on here about having read the very same book the other day! I too read it in about a day, very great read!

Nick, may I also suggest reading "Neuromacer" by William Gibson, another great classic( mid 80s) sci-fi novel, took me 2 days to read that one.

EDIT: I am currently reading another one by Philip K. Dick called "The Man in the High Castle". This one is a story about the world as it would exist if the US lost WWII and is now occupied by Germany and Japan.

And for a more emotional read, try "On the Beach" by Nevil Shute. Story about the last days of humans on Earth after a nuclear war. Very good book(though not sci-fi).
