The tales of H.P Lovecraft
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Ziggy

Then I recommend the three Engines of Light books I've mentioned above.

Googled for it, and yes they do seem very interesting. I need more hours per day. Pandora's Star and Fallen Dragon are quite bulky books, and PS is just the first part, there's also a second. Still, can't hurt to keep em in mind next time I swing by a store.

Thanks for the heads up

You're not going to want to wait for Judas Unchained after finishing Pandora's Star. I know I couldn't.

I also tried to read the Night's Dawn Trilogy, couldn't get into it. I might give it another go in a few months. but I really enjoyed the Pandora's Star series.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Sigh. So many books, so little time.

I would really not give up on ND-trilogy. I remember it starting of a bit sluggish, but once it gained speed I couldn't put it down.

 

[Turner]

Yeah, I'll probably give it another shake. I like Hamilton, he's a decent writer. I think reading the Commonwealth Saga first spoiled me.

Just finished: Freakonomics. Highly recommended!

Currently reading: The Guns of August. It's a non-fiction novel about the first month of the first world war. So far, extremely good.

It is probably one of my favorite war books of all time.

 

[kuukkeli]

Just started reading On the Road to Kandahar by Jason Burke.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Milton: A fresh and balanced introduction to the poet's life and works -David Daiches

One of my dumpster treasures. Copyright 1957, so it aint all that fresh if truth be told.

 

[Pokurcz]

"Nights Dawn" is probably the best space opera ever, the solidity of the quality is just unbeatable. Though there are unfortunately some slow parts in it.

 

[Samuelson]

On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection or the Survival of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life -Charles Darwin

 

[Godwynn]

The Roaring Nineties - Joseph Stiglitz

 

[Colonel]

Guerilla Tactics by Che Guavara

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I'm reading The Shipping News by Anne Proulx.

 

[Turner]

Just finished Up Country by Nelson DeMille. It's the sequal to The General's Daughter, but I haven't read that book. I don't feel bad cuz I saw the movie. Anyways, decent book.

I'm reading The Shipping News by Anne Proulx.

Any good?

I watched the movie with Kevin Spacey and Julianne Moore.

Oh, I'm reading Mary, Mary by James Patterson.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I discovered I still have no real interest in the Pacific War after reading The Pacific War Companion. To make up for it, I'm rereading Titanic: Triumph and Tragedy by John P. Eaton and Charles A. Haas, as I've had a strange resurgence of interest in the subject.

As a bonus, I discovered I was using the book to hold several of my old comic drawings. Which was nice.

Just finished World War Z by Max Brooks (it sucked)

Now reading The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden by some chick (it's pretty weird)

Also reading various essays on the phil. of language.
