I'm reading Dune or trying to. It is quite interesting but I do seem to have a harder time understanding or picturing quite a few descriptions in it. So it definitely is abit deeper then your average fantasy novel. I pray it don't get as bad as my Advanced English Lit class back in High School. Faust, Paradise Lost, my poor head!

Finished "Heart-Shaped Box". Was kind of disappointing after the absolute raves I've heard.

Next up will be:



Loved "Darkly Dreaming Dexter".

Great book!!

Sorry I'm not posting what I'm reading (which is nothing right now until after I get some studying and wedding planning done). I'll hopefully start reading Lisey's Story by Stephen King soon, or maybe something by Hemingway.

Spike Walker - Working on the Edge

Love Deadliest Catch on Discovery and this is a pretty good book about king crab fishing in the Bering Sea written a while back.
