It's been at least three or four years since I've read much short fiction, so I've decided to start the following collections. I plan to switch between the four until I finish them or decide to take a break for something else.

The Golden Apples Of The Sun by Ray Bradbury


20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill


Just After Sunset by Stephen King


Blue World by Robert R. McCammon

Attempting to re-read Twilight and New Moon before next weekend.

It's been a while since I finished New Moon originally and I just picked up Eclipse today. Gotta refresh my memory

Just finished:

The Prestige by Christopher Priest
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

Michael

Book #5:

the 48 laws of power :P

Just finished:



Pygmy by Chuck Palahniuk
If you ask me this was easily his best novel since Choke, and that is saying something.

Now Reading:



Drood by Dan Simmons

What did you think of Rant? I thought that was his best novel since Choke. Snuff was good but a let down after Rant.

I loved Rant - it only gets better on each read-through because I pick up on more little details I missed or forgot about before. But as good as Rant was, I believe Pygmy is even better. Just classic, vintage Chuck. And the ending - well, I know people have complained that Chuck doesn't know how to end a book, but I really liked how he ended Pygmy. It'll be interesting seeing peoples opinions on it when it comes out.

I'd be curious to hear what you thought of this. I read it and enjoyed it, but I can't really remember much about it. His second book, The Sanctuary, was a huge letdown, IMO.

Just finished "The Callahan Chronicles" by Spider Robinson on audiobooks and now listening to "The Worthing Saga" by Orson Scott Card.

I get so sleepy on my long commute, I discovered that listening to a book keeps me awake more than just listening to the radio.

Just finished:
"Reach of a Chef" by Michael Ruhlman

Just finished "Molecular Gastronomy" by Herve This

Started "Born On a Blue Day" by Daniel Tammet

murder on the orient express.

Just finished:

Just finished reading 'I hope they serve beer in hell' by Tucker Max

I am not a big reader, I prefer lighter books like this one. Roald Dahl is my favorite though

Arrived in the mail today, starting tonight:



Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons

I loved Watchmen. Definitely have to read it again before the movie comes out.

This is my first time reading it. I wanted to be up to speed so I can bitch with everyone else about changes the movie made.

Listening to Gerald's Game by Stephen King.

I am reading The Lazarus Project by Aleksandar Hemon.

Just finished Steve Berry's Venetian Betrayal and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. A thoroughly confusing, meandering read. I enjoyed most of Berry's other work, but not this one. His new one (The Charlemagne Pursuit) is also a Cotton Malone novel, so hopefully he can get back on track again.
