I just finished the Wrinkle in Time Trilogy this weekend. The last, I think, is my favorite of the three.

Now I'm starting Phantasties by George MacDonald

sun-star · 04-22-2003, 10:48 AM

I can read fiction again now Lent is over! My new PG Wodehouse book is first on my list

BeardofPants · 04-22-2003, 04:00 PM

I'm currently read Sheri S. Tepper's The Visitor. Really, really good. I shall have to track down some of her other stuff once I've finished this one. Before this, I read Maus, and Watchmen.

Aralyn · 04-22-2003, 10:07 PM

Th last one mentioned was my first vampire book and I like it

***Earniel*** · 04-23-2003, 04:34 PM

'The cabinet of curiosities' (or at least I think it is, I'm reading the Dutch translation)by Preston & Child

Linaewen · 04-24-2003, 07:09 AM

The Two Towers. (as well as the Hobbit and UT). Can't get enought of Tolkien!

Baby-K · 04-25-2003, 09:29 AM

Finished The Secret Diary of God a few weeks ago ('twas quite funny indeed), now I'm looking for some suggestions, what do you guys think would be a good read?

In the meantime I'll just re-read Jackdaws

gandalfstormcrow · 04-27-2003, 04:41 PM

Finished "Wizard's First Rule" and now have begun "Tailchaser's Song" by Tad Williams.

Coney · 04-27-2003, 04:45 PM

At the moment I'm re-reading Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh.....brilliant book, slightly disturbing, but brilliant

(should point out to the kiddies that's it's not pg-13, or pg-18 in fact........but IMO it should be read by everyone who actually has to live in the real world

).

Oh, crick, let me know what you think - I've always wanted to read that book.

sun-star · 04-28-2003, 05:54 AM

I'm currently listening to a prose version of the Odyssey on cassette. It's so good I can't describe it

Lalaith · 04-28-2003, 06:43 AM

Hhhmmm, me as a Tolkien fan .... no seriously, I'm just reading The Fellowship of the ring, but this time in English. It's not that difficult for me to understand, but it takes a lot of concentration, and therefore I'm reading it since March.
my next book will probably be "Owen Meany" by John Irving.

Aralyn · 04-28-2003, 12:17 PM

I'm reading Mary, Bloody Mary.

***Earniel*** · 04-28-2003, 01:17 PM

I'm reading 'Foundation and Earth' by Isaac Asimov.

Elfhelm · 04-29-2003, 01:52 PM

Sartre these days, Existential is a Humanism at the moment.

Hanza · 04-29-2003, 02:31 PM

I am reading Boy and Going Solo by Roald Dahl. They are both his autobiographies (sp?)

turtlelover · 04-29-2003, 08:41 PM
