Mountolive (still...almost done, though!) by Lawrence Durrell The Silmarillion (very slow going -- the discussion groups on the moot are helping to keep me interested) Neuromancer by William Gibson (re-reading it for fun and break from the above ) The Nero Wolfe Cookbook by Rex Stout

Currently I'm working through Everything's Eventual by Stephen King. I've been sidetracked lately by TTT, though. I should get back to Everything's Eventual soon.

I'm reading Terry Pratchet's Death Omnibus... feel like reading something light before I start on the sixth (7th if you count Prelude) and last Foundation book.

I'm now currently reading The Awakening: A Solitary Soul by Kate Chopin; it was written in the 1800s. I have to read it for English Honours. Not sure if I like it or not.

I'm reading The Rift War series. Good books. I finished the second one yesterday. Now I'm trying to find a copy of the third. I found a copy of the fourth. The sad thing is they are out of print for right now.

Read Artemis Fowl last night. Really enjoyed it and am looking forward to getting the 2nd book.
Also reading LeGuin's The Dispossessed for an online discussion group. |

I've been meaning to read Artemis Fowl. I've seen a lot of people at my school reading it and figured I should try it.

Give it a try. It's very amusing and I found it to be a quick read.

The Earthsea books are very different, IMHO, from the books she wrote in the Hainish universe. So you did not chose wrongly. I read the Earthsea books long ago and remember enjoying them a great deal.
But you'll have to try her other books once you've finished Earthsea to see which YOU like best. |

Earthsea is good, IMO.
I'm rereading LoTR. Christmas 1996 was the very first time I read it so it looked like a nice way to celebrate. I'm also reading 'The making of mankind' by Richard Leakey, inspired by the ever-ongoing evolution-creation debate here on the 'moot.

I finished Artemis Fowl (artic) a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was really good. I hope he does another one.
I think I might try finishing his Dark Materials. Heard the first one on the radio yesterday.

It is good! It inspired an interest in old english, and Germanic and Celtic legends. I think I'll be researching that some, now. . .
