Just Finishing:

Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King

Seinfeld: The Making of an American Icon


On Deck:

Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley Vol 1 - Peter Guralnick

Fight Club - by Chuck Palahniuk

The Fellowship of the Ring - J. R. R. Tolkien

Just finished The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.....a fun book for sure - now if we could only get the damn movie released on dvd

Just finished The War of Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts by Louis de Berniers, which was pretty good. This guy wrote Corelli's Mandolin too, which was a great book, and one of the worst book-to-movies ever made.

I'm almost done with The Hot Zone, which was timely with the recent reports coming from South East Asia.

I assume you are referring to Joubert and man that is some horribly disturbing "es aitch eye tee"! In a way I wish I had stopped reading after page 190.

Started reading Grisham's The Client today, maybe that will push out out the those images.

Over the weekend I read Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, about a twentysomething woman who's in credit debt up to her ears but can't stop spending. It was a cute book. Some of her tactics for avoiding paying her bill were funny...i.e. she offered the collector a free subscription to the magazine she works for.

And this morning I finished Amazing Grace by Jonathon Kozol. It's a fantastic book about poverty in the Bronx. It was required reading for my Sociology 101 class, but it was extremely fascinating. Heartbreaking and thought-provoking, that inevitably leaves the reader with a feeling of complete helplessness.

I'm assuming it kind of got to you too.

And there is a part in Gerald's Game when the main character is dreaming or something and she thinks someone is looking down at her. That is the part that ties into Delores Claiborne.

I finished reading Tad William's Memory, Sorrow and Thorn series. I liked it a lot. Too bad I had read George R.R. Martin before this one, otherwise I would've liked it even more. But I give Williams some props since he wrote his books first.

I also finished Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. Another great one.

I'm now reading Robert Ludlum's Matarese Circle. It's a real page turner so far.

I finally was able to read Micheal Crichton's Timeline. Very good. One of his better ones. Aren't they making a movie?

Just finished:
The Last Jihad by Joel Rosenberg
(very eerie storyline about the US/Iraq conflict)


Just Started:
Area 51: The Dreamland Chronicles by David Darlington


On Deck:
Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
Devil In The White City by Erik Larson

They sure are. Richard Donner is slated to direct. Comes out sometime this year.

You're right. I looked up some info and started a thread in the movie forum.

Current Read: Sarah Lovett's, Dark Alchemy -- Her last book (Dante's Inferno) was very good, so I have good expectations for this one.

Last 5 Reads: Harlan Coben's No Second Chance, Michael Connelly's Lost Light, Bill Zehme's Intimate Strangers, Denise Hamilton's Sugar Skull, and Thomas Keneally's Lincoln.

Next in the queue: J.L. Abramo's Clutching at Straws, Steve Hamilton's Blood Is the Sky, Edward Wright's Clea's Moon, and Glenville Lovell's Too Beautiful to Die.

The Wooden Sea - Jonathan Carroll. Really enjoyed the book's twists and turns, could have been gimicky but Carroll keeps it 'real'. Love the dog, the feather and all the time jumps. Definately will check out more Carroll books!

'The Hungry Ocean - Linda Greenlaw. Solid book, like a female version of The Perfect Storm without the storm. Quick enjoyable read

Lucky Wander Boy - db weiss. Nice walk down memory lane in terms of the Classic Gaming stuff in the book, but the story goes so awry it loses me. Absolutely bad ending but enough good stuff not to have been a complete waste

Pattern Recognition - William Gibson. Big Thumbs up. very well written, great characters, good story, good ending.
I love how gibson made the present feel futuristic and of course LOVED the whole Forum aspect to the book. So far one of my favorite books I've read this year

Just started...

Richard Laymon - Cuts

Started Edward Rutherford's SARUM yesterday. I love his books, because it's a great mixture of fact and fiction.

Finished Stephen King's Dreamcatcher last night. So, so King. Wasn't all that impressed.

Next up, Richard Dooling's Bet Your Life.

I'm reading an interesting non-fiction book, Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks. It's the story of his childhood and his lifelong love for chemistry and metals - subjects near and dear (really!) to my heart.

Bill Chance
The Daily Epiphany

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai SiJie

It's about two Chinese guys from prominent families who are sent into the countryside during the cultural revolution in order to be reeducated. It's an interesting piece of fiction set during a very turbulent time in China.

About to start on John Grisham's "King of Torts" during my lunch break.

Next:
Jeffrey Archer's "Sons of Fortune"
Dan Brown's "Angels & Demons"
Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code"
James Patterson and Andrew Gross' "Jester"

Hopefully I finish all of these by June 21.

Just finished "Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick and "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" by W. Bruce Cameron (painfully relevant).

Currently reading "Elmore Leonard's Western Roundup #2".

Up next: "Return of the King" by Tolkien and "The Cold Six Thousand" by James Ellroy.

Just finished A Terrible Beauty,by, Graham Masterton. Boy, does he know how to kill people in chilling,cruel ways.

Great book. The Manitou, and Charnel House are my favourites by this author.

If you like horror, check him out.

Next up, Atmosphere, by, Michael Laimo

I finally got all caught up in the New Jedi Order series so I raided the closet for some oldies.

Currently reading Nightmares and Dreamscapes and skipping the stories I remember not liking. I might revisit some early King I haven't read since I was waiting at the library for my parents to pick me up from junior high.

I remember I read Christine and Carrie without ever checking them out.

Finished Hot Springs by Stephen Hunter. This was an my first book by this author and man was I pleased. I've been told Dirty White Boy is an excellent read and I may pick that one up.

Now I'm on to The Midnight Lair by Richard Laymon. Laymon has yet to disappoint me. I only wish I had known about him sooner.

I recently read this and thoroughly enjoyed it. Enjoy...

Finished Torts last night, Started "Sons of Fortune" this morning.
