Hehe. Well, my UT is in perfect condition, and the whole thing remains unread. I get to read it for the first time soon! Wheee!

I've interrupted those other books, to read 'Night' by Elie Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust. Gripping, and very very sad.

Shadowfax · 06-14-2003, 11:01 AM

Right now I'm reading "JRR Tolkien: A Biography" by Humphrey Carpenter. I really am enjoying it.

I enjoyed that book too. It's very interesting.

I'm reading The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. Apparently it's a shameless rip-off of the LOTR. I'm not sure I like the style of his writing, but I'm interested to see how it ends, so I'll keep reading.

Oh don't worry, it's a complete rip-off, except for the ending. At least Brooks didn't steal LotR's ending. I still enjoyed it though.

I'm reading The Sum of All Fears by Tom Clancy right now. I've seen the movie, now I want to read the book. The books are always so much better.

Thorunn · 06-16-2003, 09:33 AM

I'm reading The holy road by Michael Blake and just wondering how much of it is true.

wahine · 06-16-2003, 11:26 AM

Khamul,
I tried to read the Sum of all Fears, but military (sort of) genre's aren't my thing. Couldn't get past the middle, although I'm THAT was the most interesting part.

Stick to the movie

Shadowfax · 06-16-2003, 10:48 PM

Finished JRR Tolkien: A Biography, and now I've just started Letters of JRR Tolkien. Ooh, I'm excited!

***Jonathan*** · 06-17-2003, 04:29 AM

I finally started reading a book by Tom Clancy; Rainbow Six.
Reading it in English and all

The Secret Diary's of Adrian Mole - Sue Townsend

First read these when I was a kid..............was a nice surprise when I found that I still had copies hidden in the back of a cupboard

Baby-K · 06-17-2003, 07:34 AM

I'm now reading 'First Embraces' it's a collection of true stories edited by Lindsey Elder, written by several different women about their first lesbian experiences. Quite an intriguing read.

Grey_Wolf · 06-18-2003, 06:55 AM

I'm beginning to re-read my Clive Cussler novels (got all the Dirk Pitt-ones). Am also reading a Star Wars novel: Planet of Twilight (am book for book reading thru my SW-collection). Am also read-ing Ludovic Kennedy's Menace: The life and death of the Tirpitz, finishing off Edward Rutherfurd's London and Churchill's History of English Speaking Peoples I: The Birth of Britain.

***IronParrot*** · 06-20-2003, 01:08 AM

Grey_Wolf, you should meet my dad - he's nuts about Cussler.

What I am reading: well beginning tomorrow night, I will be spending all my time on The Order of the Phoenix. What an exciting time to be alive.

Sheeana · 06-20-2003, 01:28 AM

Waaaahhh! I'll have to wait... *counts on fingers* ... nine hours before I can read it!

Stupid work.

cassiopeia · 06-20-2003, 11:44 PM

I'm just reading a little book called Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Sorry, can't help bragging.

The first few chapters are so GOOD!! Nice surprises... I won't give anything away...

That book is so good. I read it three years ago I think, and I loved it.

Gwaimir Windgem · 06-21-2003, 01:16 AM

I'm reading The Ring of the Dark Elves by Victoria Randall, our very own Entlover. So far, 'tis quite good, indeed.
