Great book! Perry's first and arguably, his best.

Shipwreck 04-14-05 03:49 PM

Just finished Shadow of the Hedgemon by Orson Scott Card. I really never intended to read an entire series of books by one author. My intention was to read Ender's Game and then let it go. But someone told me that the next book was pretty good and different from the first (this was Speaker For the Dead). So I picked it up and consumed it like a bag of Fritos.

After reading each book I gave it to my mother, who reads a lot. She in turn loaned me copies of Card's Women of Genesis books, Sarah and Rebekah. I never would have picked them up on my own, but I was on vacation and ran out of things to read. Both books were amazing and I now consider Orson Scott Card one of my favorite authors.

I'll start Shadow Puppets in a day or two.

Currently reading Dean Koontz' Velocity.

Koontz continues to dazzle with his ability to create mesmerizing suspense.

Ghouls, Gimmicks and Gold: Horror Films and the American Movie Business, 1953-1968 by Kevin Heffernan

Interesting read, I'm mainly using it for research purposes, but I enjoy reading this kind of stuff for pleasure anyways.

Inca Gold by Clive Cussler.

AuntiePam 04-16-05 11:47 AM

Scarecrow, I loved Kavalier and Clay. His book Summerland was good too, but geared to a YA reader (not that there's anything wrong with that).

I just finished two fantasy trilogies by Robin Hobb -- Farseer and Liveships -- dragons and pirates and serpents, oh my.

Now reading The Turkish Gambit by Russian writer Boris Akunin. Espionage and mystery during the war between the Russians and the Turks in the 1870's.

I just started Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk.

The Bus 04-17-05 09:07 AM

Dostoyevsky's The Grand Inquisitor and Krakatoa by Simon Winchester.

AuntiePam 04-17-05 10:13 AM

Just started Gospel by Wilton Barnhart. It was recommended by someone who described it as similar to The DaVinci Code but better written. (I haven't read Code.)

I'm enjoying it, so far.

Do you folks scan those book covers, or import them from a website? They're very cool.

Scarecrow 04-17-05 05:59 PM

You can grab them from Amazon or BN

I've just started The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

I just finished The Kalahari Typing School for Men by Alexander McCall Smith and the other day picked up The Full Cupboard of Life (which I'm planning to read next) Both books are from the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, which is one of my favorite book series.

Just finished the Healthy Dead by Erikson (very good and funny), and was going to start re-reading the series in anticipation of the release of The Bonehunters. But, although the book is done and submitted, I just heard that its release has been pushed back to Feb 05 because his publisher wants that much time for editing and friggin' maps. -ohbfrank- At least Night of Knives is about to be released.

Currently in the middle of Ordermaster by L.E. Modesitt Jr.
