Company Man
by Joseph Finder

Searching For The Sound: My Life With The Grateful Dead by Phil Lesh.

just finished reading the His Dark Materials triology by philip pullman - highly recommended.

I nearly bought that the other day. Is it any good?


As for me, I'm about 1/4 through The Dark Tower. I loved this series, but I'm excited to be nearly done with it.

Hard to say so far. I'm only about 100 pages in, but so far it's pretty good. It's kinda funny in places with him talking about how little "Bobby" Weir was still in high school when the band formed, and how his mom talked to Jerry about how she wouldn't let "Bobby" come to practice if it made his schoolwork suffer.
It's starting to pick up right now, now that he's talking about the acid tests.

I'm reading "Combat Jump". It is about the 82nd Airborne's assualt on Sicily, the first major airborne offensive.

Just started:

Tishomingo Blues by Elmore Leonard -- So far so good. I'm also quite fond of Leonard's work.

1984
by George Orwell

I thought it was even better than Rain Fall. Eisler's attention to detail, especially his descriptions of Tokyo, is amazing. The plot got a bit confusing toward the end, but I can't wait to read Rain Storm.

Finished (finally):
The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe by Douglas Adams

Starting:
Life, The Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams.

I'm reading Haunted as well. So far, so disgusting. The reviews sure weren't kidding about this one. But, I think this is going to be a pretty interesting read.

i'm only just past 'guts', which i'd heard chuck read last year so it was nothing new. i'd heard the other shorts were even more disturbing than 'guts', how far into it are you?

Just read the Mother Nature one...nothing disturbing about that one really.
