Real men read the unabridged king james. And it's been so long since I've read mice and men I can't tell you a thing about it.

On Bob's recommendation, I'm now partway through George R.R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones." So far, it's excellent. I've got a few nitpicky issues with his characterization (a few characters are just too "stock" and predictable), but all in all it's been a good read so far.

I've also had a vague urge to buy and re-read (I loaned my copy to someone, never got it back, lol) Heller's Catch-22. That might be next on the list, followed possibly by the next G.R.R. Marting book, if it continues to live up to it's potential.

If you read/liked Wheel of Time you'll like GRR's stuff.

I think WoT > GRR, but I'm in the minority.

Edit: Also if you still haven't read Dark Tower, you suck donkey ass.

Hey, that's redundant!

I am reading textbooks. It sucks ass.

At some point I'll find a load of books I want to read, but I haven't looked for a while evwen though the girlfriend keeps shoving the occasional one in front of telling em to read it. university seriously impacts the amount you want to read after you've been forced to (my first degree).

Still, i had a summer of reading last year, and got through loads of books, so it may happen again this year!

I'll add it to the list, Chris. Meanwhile, from prior comments, I gather you haven't read Catch-22? Clearly, you're a communist, and should be taken outside and shot. And, after you read it, you might actually get that one.

[Chris]

I've read Catch-22.

I've told you to read DT about 294723984723 times, you wretched, nuttgobbling pigfag. At once!

Have you read up to Knife of Dreams?

BTW, Dark Tower is brilliant. I can't wait to re-read it, front to back.

Reading Dean Koontz/Frankenstein right now, almost finished with the first book. Great stuff, classic Koontz formula which is no suprise, but damn entertaining all the same.

And you still don't think Where are the Snowdens of Yesteryear is a question worth asking? Part of me just died.


Yeah, yeah, I'll get on it... Speaking of which, how's Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" treating you, you slack-ass?

I haven't read KoD yet, no. I read book 10 over a year ago, so I'm going to have to start over - you know how that story is. There's no fucking way I could just pick it up and remember where everything left off.

Unfortunately, whenever I think of DT now, "Fuck off, Roland!" immediately pops into my head. Are you sure Eddie didn't make that quote?
