The Dark Tower Volume 1: The Gunslinger by Stephen King

great stuff!

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I was recommended the series about a week ago by someone.

 

[flyingchicken]

I just recently purchased that as an impulse buy. It's at the end of the short list for now.

Which one? Unimportant, but I referred to more than one book and my curiosity is shooting up.

I am also reading, when I am bored with the other books, Memnon by Scott Oden, it being the only non-sequel (the only other one was a part two of Attila) historical fiction book in the bookstore I went to.

A sad state of things.

 

[Mowque]

The Gunslinger by King

Plague by Wendy Orent

 

[Nylan]

Mozart: A Life by Maynard Solomon

A very psychoanalytical approach to the man and his legacy.

 

[Mowque]

Finished the Gunslinger and started on The Drawing of the Three

 

[musekick]

The Killing Dance- Laurell Hamilton

 

[Irish Caesar]

Which one? Unimportant, but I referred to more than one book and my curiosity is shooting up.

Connecticut Yankee.

Having read and enjoyed Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, The Prince and the Pauper, and a selection of short stories, and having gotten through Pudd'nhead Wilson a while back, I figured I might as well read more of the Twain catalog.

 

[Ansar]

Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach by Morris Kline

It covers Calculus I, II, Multivariable Calc and some Diff. Equations

 

[King of Town]

I think it's about time to reread The Sun Also Rises. I love that book.

 

[Whomp]

Just started Shattering Orthodoxies by A. Haag Sherman

 

[kulade]

How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker

A slow start but it really changed the way I think about the way I think. I'm about 2/3 through ATM.

 

[downtown]

Just finished Boys on The Bus

Now its time for a light Grisham book before I start my next bout of heavy lifting

 

[Red Door]

White Noise - Don DeLillo

I really, really hate this book.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

The Count of Monte Cristo, my new favorite book!

 

[King of Town]

The Count of Monte Cristo, my new favorite book!

Exactamundo! Best revenge ever

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Alexander to Actium - Peter Green

A Tale of Love and Darkness - Amos Oz

Once Upon a Country - Sari Nusseibeh

All are for school.

 

[Dachs]

In addition to Iron Kingdom, I'm racing through the remainder of Yapp's The Near East since the First World War for class.

 

[Imaginos]

Have finished reading "Fatal Revenant"by Stephen Donaldson and just stated on "The Pillars of the Earth"by Ken Follet.

How the Mind Works by Steven Pinker

A slow start but it really changed the way I think about the way I think. I'm about 2/3 through ATM.

His The Blank Slate proved thought-provoking for me. I'm reading Robert Harris' Imperium -- a novel set in the waning days of the Roman Republic.
