Let's just say that I have a really busy 3 weeks ahead of me.

Demille has long been one of my favorites. Plum Island and Lions Game were great reads as well. His characters are always very interesting with many layers and a fine wit. Gold Coast, Word of Honor, and Generals Daughter are also among my favorites of his.

I just finished it. Now, I will be starting Volume 2 in the Trilogy of Five "The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe" by Douglas Adams

I'm about to read "MEG".

It's a Jaws rip off only the shark isn't a Great White, it's apparently a Megaladon which is the Great White's larger ancient cousin. After "MEG" I may start "The Trench" which is a sequel.

Interesting. Then there is Meg: Primal Waters, third book. May have add those to list to read sometime this year.

Today, I started:

I just started DisneyWar this weekend and I've just gotten to the section where it's talking about the EuroDisney failure. It's a good read so far.

Reading Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged

just started:

My Life as Emperor by Su Tong



postscript 4/11/05: Great book. I really enjoyed it.

Just finished Planet Simpson: How a Cartoon Masterpiece Defined a Generation by Chris Turner.

In the middle of The Lord is My Shepherd by Harold S. Kushner.

Starting Ugly Americans: The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millions by Ben Mezrich.

Just finished Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas... excellent read.

Now I'm working my way through the Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy... almost done. I'll probably finish the series before the movie.

I just finished up Slaughterhouse Five, and now I've got to get back to more academic reading for school. I had forgotten how nice it was to read for pleasure b/c I've been doing so much forced reading lately. I'm hoping to get back to leisure reading soon.

I'm in "full geek mode" as my wife calls it. I just finished reading the first Star Wars Clone Wars novel "Shatterpoint" last week. This week I've started the next one, "The Cestus Deception". I figure if the movies won't cover the Clone Wars, I'll read the novels.

I just started:

I've been recently getting into Demille too. In fact, I just today started The Lion's Game with John Corey.

Also just finished Midnight Mass by F. Paul Wilson, of Repairman Jack fame. Jack wasn't in that one though, just vampires.

I've been meaning to read some F. Paul Wilson and start the Repairman Jack series. I've heard only good words.

Kabuki: Circle of Blood

Just started:

I just finished Don DeLillo's Mao II and now I'm trying to find a new novel to start. Until I do I'm re-reading my collection of Hemingway's short stories.
