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.

The Duke Of Uranium - John Barnes and The forth in Malorien.

Miranda · 11-15-2002, 06:42 PM

Reading right now! Well there's the Silmarillion which I picked up this morning before going to school, Suetonius' Claudius, Tacitus Claudius, Rasputin the final word by Radivinsky, A people's tragedy by Orlando Figes, Therese Desqueyroux by Francios Mauriac, Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. Oh to be a history and French student!!!!!! Mx

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.

BeardofPants · 11-21-2002, 02:13 AM

I just bought Butlerian Jihad. Huzzah!

Miranda · 11-21-2002, 05:09 PM

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

Silverstripe · 11-22-2002, 01:24 PM

The "A Wizard in Rhyme" series, and I've never found anyone else who has read it, other than my parents. Also am re-reading The Dragon and the George. That's my reading list for today.

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

Yes, it's about russia

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

sun-star · 11-24-2002, 06:46 AM

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

Andúril · 11-24-2002, 06:57 AM

A Marginal Jew -- Rethinking the Historical Jesus: The Roots of the Problem and the Person. John P. Meier.

Beleg Strongbow · 11-25-2002, 09:07 AM

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

Beleg Strongbow · 11-25-2002, 09:07 AM

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

Eldanuumea · 11-25-2002, 09:12 AM

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

Haven't read the novel but i've read the book in the Bible.

Aeryn · 11-25-2002, 11:40 PM

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

BeardofPants · 11-26-2002, 01:24 AM

Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game.

Good book, but a bit disturbing, in a sense. What disturbed me most is that it was in the children/young adult section in my library.

Duddun · 11-26-2002, 11:41 PM

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.
