Salman Rushdie - Midnight's Children.

Truly a magnificent piece of work.
Totally hilarious, and amazing from a literary point of view. I love it!

The Budget Phones, Inc. dealer FAQ. I think this is why I hate reading.

The Runelords - David Farland
I borrowed the trilogy from a friend, so I will have some (hopefully) great reading ahead!

That's one of King's very best

I bought two used books used this weekend-

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (on potm's recommendation )

Survivor- Chuck Palahniuk (the guy who wrote fight club)

Guess I'll do some reading now.

You'll never read anything more entertaining that that, my friend.

I believe the title is Long Hard Road out of Hell. I bought the book for my cousin as a Christmas present several years ago. When he was finished, he ended up loaning it to me to read - we both agreed it was a riot!

Having read the first two books and working on #3, I'd have to say Douglas Adams is the official King of Weird.

Picked up the first volume of Akira tonight...a lot more involved than the anime so far, but just as cool.

The Gathering Dark (Ice Age cycle book 1)

pretty nifty. If they want to make a film of Magic, they should start with this one...

I never knew the Rag Man played such a big part, and Barl's Cage would be an excellent punishment nowadays

Is anyone else here a fan of King's Gunslinger/Dark Tower series?

If so, do you know if he has any plans for ever finishing the series, or even writing a fifth book?

The 5th Dark Tower book will be called The Wolves of the Calla and will be released late this year, November if I heard right. As I understand it, the last two or three Tower books will be the last of King's major novels before he retires.

For Whom the Bells Toll, by Ernest Hemmingway.

Good book, and funnily enough about commies vs. fascists

Hmmmm, now I've got the Metallica song in my head. Cool.

I finished Hitchhiker's Guide yesterday.. it was pretty damned amusing, that's for sure. I'll have to pick up the other 4 if I see them used.

I think I'm going to re-read some old Clive Barker for the time being.

Well, I'm finished with the dictionary, so now I'm on to something else: The Art of War - Sun Tzu. The ROTC building has some cool books, so I guess I'll have to start reading again.
