Do you have time?
Are you sure you people have enough time to read all the books I am reading right now?
See I start a book then take it all over and leave it somewhere ao then I start a new book and the cycle continues . . . The Last Tsar: The life of Nicholas II of Russia Elizabeth: Prelude to the throne The Lost World Of Nicholas and Alexandra: Tsar Return of the King (this make the 47th time) My mom wonders how I can read it over and over. I don't feel I need to explain it to my fellow Tolkienites. Alias: Recruited and last Star Wars: The Last Witness (Jedi Apprentice) Well, That was fun I'd better go find them now . . .

My recent reads (say, since Christmas):
A Canticle For Leibowitz - Walter Miller, Jr. Brave New World - Aldous Huxley Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Catch-22 - Joseph Heller All excellent works. I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but I'd never read any of them before.

I thought it was astounding. At first I was a bit disoriented, since it jumps time and place so erratically, but once I settled in I couldn't put it down. It's really a wonderful character piece, I found.
(And it was hilarious.)

I'm reading E. Nesbit's short stories to the kids right now- they're really funny and very clever. I just finished E. Nesbit Fairy Stories, which has classics like "The Charmed Life; or The Princess and the Lift Man", and we're now starting The Last of the Dragons, where we just finished the story of the last dragon, that was really quite nice and didn't want to eat princesses, just drink petrol. Another good one from the first book - "Melisande; or Long and Short Division".

I've just picked up "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen. Before that I read "Great Expectations" by Dickens, and "A roadside picnic" by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky.
I'm also reading LotR, again. I've got a generous pile of books onmy desk waiting to be read. "Pride and Prejudice" is in there Iron Parrot, of the 4 books you listed I've only read "Brave New World". I guess I ought to be ashamed as well

Regeneration by Pat Barker.
Quite a moving and thought provoking story, with some stunning characterisation |
