Is that the memoirs of an airhead?

well im reading the secret country trilogy by pamela dean

I'm reading The Sword of Shannara Trilogy, by Terry Brooks. I like Terry Brooks, and I've read about A Hat full of Sky, I wish I had it to read, it sounds like a good book.

I'm in the middle of The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart.

I have finally bought the Dirk Gently omnibus, now reading it. It's hilarious so far, and I've only read the first three chapters.

No Dark Place by Joan Wolf, a 12th century historical murder mystery novel. I assume most of it is fiction except for the conflict between King Stephan and Empress Matilda.

Yes, Good Omens was excellent; always good to see the powers that be skewered by their underlings. And I especially enjoyed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse riding in on their Harleys.

I'm reading A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett. I haven't got far enough into it to form an opinion. I'm hoping it will maintain his normal standard of punny.

I just finished Origins of the Russian Intelligentsia and am re-reading the Silmarillian.

Well I finished that series that was a prequel to Dracula (sort of) it was alright nothing that I would re-read but it was alright. I am not sure what I am going to pick up now, I am re-reading LoTR beucase I have also gotten to a point in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles that I want a little break from the Undead if you know what I mean. I picked up a few books from the used book store that I go to all the time. I got the Al Franken Lies and the Lying Liars that tell them (a Fair and Balanced look at the Right) I also picked up Richard Clarke's Against All Enemies I may start one of those or one of the Nelson DeMille novels that I picked up not sure yet. I try to read different stuff but sometimes I just stick to the authors that I know and like. I also like some of the classics as well I did read Last of the Mohicans this summer and I really enjoyed that book although it was a tough read at times. I also bought Band Of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose and I really hope that one is good. So currently I am at a loss as to "The Return of just what are you reading now"

Ah, yes. Definitely one of the most supenseful chapters in the book. Even after several rereads it holds its Edge-of-Your-Seat quality.

As of yesterday, I have gone on a (literary) quest for knowledge, due to a certain thread here that I cannot now recall pertaining to the Knights Templar. I have checked out Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Baigent, Leigh, and Lincoln. So far, so good. Very interesting story that somehow in the idiocy of my earlier years I had overlooked( thank you, Grondy. )

Children of the Mind by Orson Scott Card. This is the fourth book in his Ender's Game series

No way, Stoney!!!! I'm reading that too, for my lit class. I'm on line 1817, btu I just started it today. Are you enjoying it? I think it's really interesting. I also just finished reading "Straight" by Dick Francis. It was really good.

Hehe, I had come to ask if anyone knew of a good classic book/ playwright for my lit class and it seems I've found it, thanks Arwen and Stoney!

I am currently reading The Silmarillion. I've attempted it in the past but gave up halfway through the first chapter. This time I bought an old copy of the book to read at my leisure. I took the advice of other PT members and started with a chapter that's slightly familiar, namely Of Beren and Luthien. My goal is to not give up on the book this time and finish it. Wish me luck!

The Reading Discussion Group section of the Message Board was a regular discussion about the Silmarillion for new readers. Although the group finished the book a long time ago, the questions raised for discussion do act as a good guide of the book for new readers. In addition, at the beginning of each assignment I posted a list of names etc which occured in each chapter to make it easier for new readers of the book to understand. Feel free to raise other questions too, if you feel there was an area we did not cover at the time.

Laurie R. King's Justice Hall the sixth book in her series starring Marry Russell and her husband and partner in sleuthing, Sherlock Holmes. I loved the first books in the series and hope the standard of this one is comparable.

Still on Dante's Divina Comedie (in Paradise at the moment, not just figurately speaking!)... Though I have at last finished "The Letters of JRR Tolkien" which were great!

I don't know if any of you are Chuck Palahniuk fans ("Fight Club", "Choke") but I'm reading his latest book, which is strangely enough a collection of non-fiction stories called "Stranger Than Fiction". I am about to finish that book though and go to C.S. Lewis's good friend of Tolkien mind you) "The Screwtape Letters", which I'm sure many of you have read.

Has any1 read any books by Jack Higgins, like T hunder Point or Eye of the Storm?

Last night I started Barbara Hamby's Days of the Dead, the seventh Benjamin January mystery.

Is anybody here a Ray Bradbury fan? If so, I suggest reading his short story collection book called, "The Cat's Pajamas" It is Bradbury at his best, a facinating read.

I've just finished reading 'Oryx and Crake' by Margaret Atwood. I can't say that I enjoyed it particularly although it is very well written. I found it a bit gloomy and it left me wanting to know more, which I suppose is a good thing because I tend to judge books by whether they made me think after I'd stopped reading them. This one did but now I need to find something more light hearted.

I am re-reading Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett.

I think you mean Parma Eldalamberon . But what have I been reading? like a true Tolkien fan I have been reading: DRUMROLL Unfinished Tales.
