Good Omens is damned fun - hope you're enjoying it, Tasha.

Normally don't read more than one book at a time, but right now I'm reading:

1. How Would You Move Mt. Fuji? Microsoft's Cult of the Puzzle by William Poundstone

2. Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk

3. Differentiate or Die - Survival In Our Era of Killer Competition by Jack Trout (I'm a marketing major)

The Eye of the World (Book 1 in The Wheel of Time series) by Robert Jordan

I got up to page 600 or so sometime during high school then I just put it down. I'm starting from the beginning again, earlier today I ordered books 2 and 3 used online too

Finished reading 2nd Chance early this morning (2AM). Very good book if you ask me. Now, I will stop reading and start listening to music on the train on the way to work.

Just starting Seabiscuit and Little Alters Everywhere.

I'm still waiting on da vinci code to come back at my local library to see what all the hype is about.

So far, Seabiscuit is even paced and keeps my interest. Classic storytelling.

Just finished Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code(I was so into this I finished it on 2 sittings...and I'm a slow reader). I'm about 3/4th's of the way through Patterson's Big Bad Wolf. I must say its the best Cross book to come out in sometime. It's no Kiss the Girls or Jack and Jill, but still a nice light read.

HistoryProf

I've read the 4th and 5th entries in John Sandford's Prey Series in the last few days.....not sure what's next though.

I stopped reading The Wheel of Time to work on the LOTR trilogy. about three weeks to read it all, I got 139 pages into FOTR on day 1

Alien Redrum

The Elvis Cole books are awesome! The Cole/Pike series is my favorite of the ones I read.

I recently finished Stake by Richard Laymon (best vampire book I ever read that ) and Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, both of which were very, very good.

Just started One for the Money by Janet Evanovich. This is my first forey into the Stephanie Plum series and I'm already enjoying the ride. My father recommended this to me and, as usual, he's spot on.

Alien Redrum

Agreed 100%. Of the Lehane books I've read, Mystic River was my least favorite because of those very reasons.

Just finished LOTR:TTT, and now starting on Easy Riders, Raging Bulls by Peter Biskind. I also picked up a copy of The Last Ride by Thomas Eidson, which is the basis for The Missing, Ron Howard's new movie. I have no intention of seeing the movie, but I still want to read the book. The story looks very good, and I love a good western--it's been a while since I've read a good one.

Geofferson

Out of curiosity, why do you want to read the book and not see the movie? I guess I only bring this up because I love reading books and later watching the movie to compare the two.

PalmerJoss

Geofferson--to answer your question, the main reason I'm not going to see the movie is because of the director, Ron Howard. I don't want to get into a movie discussion here, but all I will say is that I really do not like Ron Howard as a filmmaker. The only movie of his that I've enjoyed is Apollo 13. That's basically it in a nutshell, I think.

I do agree with you about comparing movies to their source material, though. I try to do that as often as I can, and I hope to get around to seeing Mystic River soon to do just that.

derickpsych

Just finished J.G. Ballard's Crash and although its a great character study, its just not a recommendable novel.
Just started James Patterson's new The Big Bad Wolf and its great so far.

First off, where have you been? Haven't seen many posts from you in the what are you reading threads lately. Good to see you back.

I am up to LA Requiem so far in the Elvis series. I have a couple stand alones and Last Detective when it comes out in paperback early next year and I will be caught up on Crais. I'm going through about three books of his a week so far, so its safe to say I'm enjoying them.

I have read all of Evanovichs books and they are a blast. My wife started them first and she was laughing out loud to the point of being obnoxious, so I gave them a try. Nothing heavy plot wise, and Steph has to be one of the WORST bounty hunters ever, but you don't really care.

Jalizarin

currently, i am reading the Hannibal Lechter series of books (Thomas Harris). i have never read them before.

on the up-coming list are Dreamcatcher (King; didn't watch movie) and Busting 'Em by Ty Cobb (recently reprinted; have you seen Tommy Lee Jones in Cobb? great film!). also have not read either of those yet.

recently picked up new copies of The Hitchiker's Guide, a lovely, illustrated, hard-bound copy of the Silmarillion, and a new copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray. all worth a re-read.

Alien Redrum

Hi Cedar!

I had to drive into work for a while, so my reading was severly limited until my work schedule went back to normal. I do most of my reading on the metro, so man, I've been missing my books.

I'm on Two for the Dough now and getting a kick out of it.

It's good to be back.

Right now, I'm readying "Surely, you're joking Mr Feynman" by Richard Feynman

Just started the paperback of Stephen King's From A Buick 8.

Samuel

The Dark Half.

Just finished Timeline. What a load of crap that was. I think it would have been easier for his career if he would have developed some sort of addiction. Maybe it would have given him some vision into a good story. Nothing good since Airframe and that was a long time ago.

Getting started on Lord of the Rings before ROTK comes out.

RavenTwo

Prodigal Soldiers

Almost done with another book from my favorite series, Goodnight, Irene by Jan Burke. Next up is Unbreathed Memories by Marcia Talley.
