currently taking a break from "paranormal romance" novels and reading
the Star Wars "Legacy of the Force", reading the book "Exile" currently

I just started reading the 9th book in wheel of time.

Gor was a Phase I went through, after the Lensman Series and before John Carter of Mars. Re-reading them now may be interesting, to see if they're better or worse than Henlein.

Sharni has always been an interesting group of people, don't you think? :wink:

Yes, even in person.

I've just started reading the first novel in the new Clive Cussler "Fargo" franchise, Spartan Gold. It's another improbable romp, still fun just.

"World War Z", by Max Brooks, lent to me by my girlfriend.

Steam and Rail (a look at the world's railways)

A Dirty Job, by Christopher Moore

Juggler of Worlds, the new Larry Niven.

Flags and Heraldry by Alfred Znamierowski and Stephen Slater

"Made in America " by Bill Bryson, A history of the developement of English as spoken by AMericans

Is it me or does it seem that the majority of people that have posted in this thread read more educational than anything else? I was more expecting stuff like fantasy, mystery, some classics, maybe a biography or two. I find it interesting.

I'm still currently reading the ninth book in the Wheel of Time. It's a huge series so It's taken quite some time to get this far and I still have a few more to go.

There's some smart folks here at Pixies..... makes me wonder how I got to be one. lol.

I just started Michael J. Foxes new book, 'Always Looking Up - The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist.' He says the title refers not only to his outlook on life but is also a short joke since his whole life has been spent looking at elbows and belly buttons of tall people. lol.

He is short, he is funny, and I saw an interview with him after he really started having problems with his disease, he seemed very upbeat.

A NEW LARRY NIVEN ! I must get a copy and read it thanks Old Fart !

I just finished the first "book" in the Night World Series by L.J. Smith. It was 3 stories in one; and there are 4 more books, so far, in the series. It's another one of those vampire/witch/werewolf/shapeshifter books geared towards teens like Twilight was originally.

The reason I don't often post what novels I read is because I read through novels pretty quickly, and I don't always see them as the most interesting thing I am reading at the moment (as I always have several books on the go at once).

Right now the most interesting book I am reading is Jewels: A Secret History by Victoria Finlay.

I understand going through books quickly. I used to read a 6-700 page novel in three days or so. I just find it interesting that so many, when they do post, are reading more nonfiction than fiction.

Now I prob look like a real egghead, just finished (sort of) "The Panic of 1907". I really wish I'd read it 2 yrs ago when it came out, but it took this long to get down to my price range; now it just seems depressingly predictive, in that it shows that we were primed for a repeat of history 100 yrs later, & yet we couldn't do anything to stop ourselves from doing the lemming thing again. Best quote: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes." - Mark Twain

The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, by Chris Moore (LOVE Chris Moore, and I'm working through his entire oeuvre.)

Christopher Moore is great I've read all his stuff up till Fluke. Then other authors and lack of money have kept me from reading his last few books. if you have a facebook account add his page he post great little blogs on there.

Thanks for the tip, Booger--I'll do that!

A Stroke Of Midnight - Laurell Hamilton.

Reading The Series Again As You Miss So Much

I've read this series SO many times since the first time 5 years ago and only recently went through it at work via audio books...and am currently listening to the Anita Blake books at work. I'm up to Obsidian Butterfly.

great series too..

Hubby fights me for meredith books

"Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity"

I know that sounds like pure BS, and it was! This article was a hoax perpetrated by Alan Sokal, published in Social Text at the height of the Science Wars.

In it, by presenting carefully worded nonsense, Dr. Sokal illustrated the lack of intellectual rigor practiced by postmodernist critics who had little understanding of the science they criticized.

A marvelous hoax!

Me too, now.

Before that, FlightPast, aviation porn.

Think I'll wait for the movie. :rolleyes2

I'm just finishing up Push by Sapphire, the novel that the movie Precious was based on.

Definitely not for the faint of heart of the easily depressed.

Bone Crossed
by Patricia Briggs

Y'all are making me feel frivolous. I just started Waking Up in the Land of Glitter, by Kathy Cano-Murillo.

I've been switching between the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (a friend of mine has almost the entire series and thought I might enjoy it) and the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (I'm rereading it just before I read the newest, so everything is fresh in mind), although I may have to start skipping the Discworld series for a bit, since I've been loaning the Dragon reborn books to my neighbor and he's catching up on me fast :yikes:

Both good series, just in completely different ways :rofl:

God, I'm still reading the Wheel of Time. Finally made it to book ten. I still haven't gotten books 11 and 12, though my friends gave me In the Beginning for this past Christmas.

I'm still waiting for "Destroyer of Worlds" in paperback in Australia.
