My exams are finished now, so I will be able to get some reading done. I'm going to get BoLT 2 (hopefully finish it this time) and Dune. Thanks BoP, for recommending it.

I just finished a bunch of Arthurian Romances for my Medieval Literature paper--Chretien de Troyes' Lancelot, or Knight of the Cart, Erec and Enid, and Perceval, or Knight of the Grail. And I got away with calling it studying--my life is great.

The Fellowship of the Ring in FRENCH!!!!!!!!! I thought I'd see how good my language skills were and muddle my way through Tolkien in a foreign language not native to Middle Earth and I'm going ok. Just giggle all the time because Frodo has become Frodod and it amuses me for some reason. My french teacher will be proud. Mx

Has anybody else ever suceeded in finishing "War and Peace"? |

I'm reading Stephen King's The Green Mile...........with some trepidation because I thought every S.King book sucked.......except Misery and The Eye of the Dragon. But the copy was free........so I might as well give it a go |

I'm reading a great little book of essays by AA Milne which were originally newspaper columns (I believe) - they're very trivial but funny and untaxing

I'm reading Exodus (not the second book of the Bible but the novel). Anyone else read it?

I just started what promises to be a great new novel called The Crimson Petal and the White by Michael Faber.

A book I don't enjoy, Tick Tock by Dean Koontz. One of his lamer story lines. It makes me sad.

I'm reading The Acts of King Arthur And His Noble Knights by John Steinbeck. It's ok but not great, its long. It's funny in how descriptive it is though.
