I’m partway through the Wheel of Time Series.
The good news is that it’s a great story.
The bad news is that I’ve been slacking off in my reading.
Also, tidbit: The author is dead.
The bad news is that he’s dead.
The good news is that he left enough notes for someone to finish the final book.
I’m about halfway through the second book in “The Darksword Trilogy”. By Margereat Weiss and Tracy Hickman again.
Trying to read The Light Fantastic and Robinson Crusoe at the same time. RC is pretty good so far though I’m only up to the part where he crashes on the island.
Have you spent the last 31 years dead (for tax purposes?)
Anyways, currently reading The Stand. Tried reading it years ago but never got past the first couple chapters (I was reading 3 other books at the time.)
Figures I’d read an eleven-hundred some page book right after reading a fourteen-hundred page book and promising myself I’d read something lighter next. :S
Technically yes seeing as I wasn’t born yet.
You’ve been dead for 31 years? Does that mean you were born yesterday? 
I know, terrible joke.
I’m trying to catch up with four weeks’ worth of reading:
I’ve finished Antigone by Sophocles.
Currently reading the 25-page introduction to The Longman Anthology of British Literature, and then I should still read about 75 pages worth of introductions to and excerpts from various medieval and early modern works of literature by tomorrow.
Still have to read three or four chapters in Multatuli’s Max Havelaar by Thursday.
When I’m done catching up I’m going to read Beowulf alongside everything else I have to read for university, and after that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
I read Beowulf a bit ago and it was really good. I’ll probably read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight tomorrow or the day after that for British Literature. We’ve read 2 other King Arthur stories (at least I think that’s the story we’re going to read) already.
Halfway through Asimov’s Foundation and Empire. Can’t exactly describe why, but it really does deserve it’s place in the top tier of science fiction literature. Now I heard they want to release a movie based on it. Sounds like another fuckup like the I, Robot movie was.
Right now I am reading all of Franz Kafka’s work as I kept wanting to but never got around to it.
I have almost finished Star Wars: The Crystal Star, and I am trying to read Lord of The Rings. Oh, and some Stephen King Book also.
And, some time ago I readed Fahrenheit 451. It was school homework.
I want to read Fahrenheit 451. I loved 1984 and it’s another dystopian future novel. If you’re going to read some Stephen King books I suggest The Shining and The Stand.
Finished the last book in a srries I started reading last year called The Seventh Tower. I lost the last book and couldn’t finish the series until I found it 3 days ago and finished it. Now I’m reading a collection of Lovecraft Cthulhu mythos stories. Compiled and edited by August Derleth.
Shining is great, Stand sounds good but I cant find it from library.
Has anybody readed Stephen Kings Dark Tower books? They are great.
I don’t read books. I always rage halfway through and rip the book in half.
Yeah, The Dark Tower is quite good. I read through all seven in about two months I believe.
I wasn’t a big fan of the last three, especially song of Susanna. I’d have to say my favorite is either the first book, or maybe The Wastelands.
Agreed. I was glad the final book ended so strongly (eventually, in something like the coda after the author’s message after the epilogue after the ending, which were all annoying and very disappointing) but I thought the series did go rapidly downhill overall after book 4. I find it hard to pick between the first three books for the best.
On another note, it warms my heart to see the excellent taste in reading material from all of you guys: almost everything mentioned recently is either an awesome book I love or a book I really should get around to reading.
I’m surprised that nobody’s mentioned Twilight yet, at least that I remember.
