I liked A&D and Da Vinci Code, but the other book, digital fortress, is soooo boring. :/ And his style is getting repetitive as well. Different story, but same story if you catch my drift.

I loved the first half or so of the book, most of the way done now and I'm still not sure what to make of the second half.

Right now I'm reading See How She Dies by Lisa Jackson. It's about this chick who thinks she might be part of this rich family but isn't sure and is trying to find out and there are a bunch of mysteries and stuff. It's pretty cool.

Has anyone read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams? How many more books are there to read?

Good stuff...

I went home, finished it, and read it three more times during break. Its amazing.

Wait, you didn't know that I read it too? It's like the bible to me. But you should check out the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.. the one you read is only a small part of a much larger book.

Starting Tanequil by Terry Brooks now. Hopefully it won't be all that much longer before the conclusion of this story arc is published.

I wonder if I could get a grant from the government of Canada to study the philosophical implications of European art... it would mean travelling across Europe... studying paintings and sculptures and prints and photographs and architecture... I bet you I could. Stranger causes get grants all the time.

You'll love The Last Continent, that's one of his very best Discworld books. Right now I'm gonna start in one of his other latest books, Night Watch. It's about the Discworld Nightwatch, with Sam Vimes and Carrot and Detritus, my second-favourite discworld subject-- the first one being the wizard's faculty (or the Unseen University) so what can I say? I'm hyped up and I haven't even started it yet :P

Night Watch was my introduction to Pratchett. It was amazing! Probably the only time I've been happy I forgot to tell the Science-Fiction Book Club not to send me their books of the month.

Then you'd probably be delighted to hear that the newer books are nothing compared to the really old ones. "Pyramids" and "Guards! Guards!" are classics as well.

Anyway, does anybody know when TDC hits paperback? I figure as long as it's selling well with hardback, they won't put it on paper.

Ahh ok-- I was confused because I thought you meant pocket. I'm not sure yet when it'll be a paperback, but I prefer hardcovers anyway. They sell real cheap on amazon.com and such (I bought TDC hardcover for 13 USD).

I just downloaded the entire unabridged book to my iPod.

I also downloaded the entire unabridged Fountainhead.

(I have LOTS of reading ahead of me.)
