Anyone up for more "<A HREF="http://www.bookmagazine.com/issue21/capsules.shtml" target="_blank">capsule</a>" reviews of the book you've just finished.... unless, of course, there is a better thread in which to place such a post e.g. maybe the author/book was already discussed and you can "bump" an earlier thread!

<A HREF="http://www.tadwilliams.com/volume1.html" target="_blank"><IMG SRC="http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/other.jpg" border=0 ALT="Otherland"></a>

Can't believe that I'm <i>still</i> reading the first Otherland book by <A HREF="http://www.space.com/sciencefiction/williams_intv.html" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none">Tad Williams</a>! Oh well.... maybe I'll be finished by the end of the month!

Just finished The Explainer by Slate Magazine. Nice little fact book.

Now I'm finally starting Dark Tower 3.

Quake1028 04-04-04 11:58 PM

Still reading Day of Infamy by Walter Lord. Haven't had much reading time this last month at all.

I'm slowly working through a book called "Sex, Time and Power: How Women's Sexuality Shaped Human Evolution"
by Leonard Shlain

It's fasacinating because he has some ideas that are hard to believe but he justifies them well. It's a slow read but it isn't too technical.


I'm also reading a bunch of young adult books. I'm a 6th grade teacher and our school is doing a staff readathon so I'm reading books that my students recommend to me. I really liked "Green Angel" by Alice Hoffman. It deals with the stages of grief after a loss. Definitely aimed for teenagers but enjoyable.

H.M.S. Surprise, the 3rd novel in the Patrick Obrian series

Still reading Laymon's To Wake the Dead.

PalmerJoss 04-05-04 04:38 PM

Haven't been reading much lately, but I just picked up "Against All Enemies" by Richard Clarke and have been working my way through it very slowly. So far it's very, very interesting.

Drop 04-05-04 06:09 PM

I just finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Right now I'm reading Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla.

Then after that it's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I'm rereading the series in anticipation for the 3rd film.

Cedar 04-05-04 06:30 PM

Finished Greg Iles books last week and now starting with Dennis Lehanes Patrick Kenzie series, A Drink Before War.

birdseye 04-05-04 09:46 PM

Finished Black Cross by Greg Iles. It was as good as everybody said it was, and I recommend it also to anyone looking for a great WWII thriller. Next I'm going to read Chosen Prey by John Sandford.

NaturalMystic79 04-05-04 10:45 PM

Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. Good book so far!

Dark Tower 5 here.

darkflounder 04-07-04 01:32 AM

Apart from the 3 computer books I have around all the time (Programming PERL, HTML/XHTML reference, and Javascript Reference), I've got 2 other books I'm working through (MySQL and Flash MX).

For non-computer reading, I just finished Flood by Andrew Vachss. Started reading the next Vachss book (Strega), but got diverted into The Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy. And I've always got a Discworld book I'm working through (currently Witches Abroad).

Tsar Chasm 04-08-04 11:37 AM

Just finished Catch-22 Joseph Heller. I had forgotten how much damned word play there was in that book.

Now - The Last Place - Laura Lippman. A desperation book from my co-worker as I have nothing to read now.

n0fear88 04-09-04 08:08 AM

The Karate Kid III

PalmerJoss 04-10-04 12:10 PM

Just finished "Against All Enemies" by Richard Clarke. Very interesting and very informative, but a lot of it comes off almost like sour grapes.

Now I'm just beginning to wade my way through "Ghost Wars" by Steve Coll.

KTIK 04-11-04 12:36 PM

Trying to finish <i>If Chins Could Kill</i> by Bruce Campbell, and then going to work on <i>The Cinema of Stanley Kubrick</i> for a school project I'm doing on Kubrick. After that, the plans are to read some Hunter S. Thompson before jumping into the <i>Lord of the Rings</i> or Beatle biography books.
