I'm currently going through my Greg Iles collection. Finished 24 Hours and am currently reading Dead Sleep. Both have been very enjoyable reads.

Finished Rage , by Steve Gerlach. Man, I just couldn't put it down. Very graphic.

Also read ****in' Lie Down Already , by Tom Picirrilli. It's a novella. Hardcore noir. ****in' amazing work. Highly recommended. I'll also recommend his other book A Choir Of Ill Children . It'll be out in PB in a couple of months.

Just started The Rising , by, Brian Keene.

Zombies-what can I say-I love it!

i've gotten into a bad habit of having multiple books going at once and immediately starting something else once i've finished one, regardless of how many i'm in the middle of...

Over the weekend, I finished Thomas Perry's The Butcher's Boy and started his follow-up novel, Sleeping Dogs.

Kal-El 02-09-04 11:36 AM

Just finished Al Franken's "Oh, the Things I Know!". Was pretty funny. Am about to start the much-hyped "The Da Vinci Code". Hope I'm not disappointed...

I liked Hornby's How to be Good. :)

Just finished Ten Little Indians by Sherman Alexie

Starting The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. LeGuin (Eugene's "reading in the rain" book. It's a group reading kind of thing--she's in town for readings etc, so I got mine signed and am going to hear her speak at a writer's forum tomorrow.)

I just finished reading Neal Stephenson's The Big U. I was a little bit apprehensive about reading this even though I'm a huge Stephenson fan because it was his first novel and even he admits that it's not up to the standards of his latest novels.

Now that I'm done with it I can honestly say that the writing itself was not quite on par with his later stuff, but the story and ideas portrayed in the book were just as great as anything in Snowcrash, the Diamond Age, Cryptonomicon, etc... Still haven't read Zodiac or Quicksilver yet but I will.

Right now I'm debating whether to start reading Battle Royale by Koushun Takami, or Darkspell by Katharine Kerr.

uNCSUcks 02-15-04 12:23 PM

Just finished Right From the Heart by Phil Valentine. Now it's time to finish Atlas Shrugged.

Brantley 02-15-04 03:55 PM

I recently finished reading Middle Class Dreams by Stanley Greenberg.

Calculon 02-15-04 07:01 PM

Finished 'The Silmarillion' and all of the LOTR Appendices.

Currently about 2/3 though Martel's 'Life of Pi' and not really liking it too much.

B.A. 02-16-04 10:36 AM

I'm still reading O'Brian's Master and Commander. I'm taking my time since the nautical terminology is killing me - I read slow enough as it is sometimes and this doesn't make it any better.
