Are you insane, Cassi? *shakes head* You get to read HP 5 and you're on the internet?! I'm no longer convincing myself that I'm not desperate to read it- just wait a week till my birthday, when people will give it to me.

No need to wait in a queue, and I can read the first four 'til then. (For the umpteenth time)- to get in the HP mood.

Also, reading 'Elli' by Livia Bitton Jackson. Very good thus far.

And I'm half-surprised that you like Harry Potter, Sheeana. I thought you hated everything good except Tolkien.

Me too, me too! It's so exciting!

Salquënòrëwen · 06-21-2003, 12:11 PM

I'm reading the OotP too! It's really good so far!

***Earniel*** · 06-21-2003, 01:43 PM

Just packed my books for holiday.

24 books for a month in more southerly regions. JJR Tolkien, Philip Pulman, Isaac Asimov, Jack Vance, Jean Auel and others. Yes, I'm set.

It'll be no wonder you won't be seeing me around here for july.

Naw, she likes Nosferatu. That was a good, artistic (if very inaccurate

) interepretation of Dracula.

Ah shuddap Erika! Just because I don't like Braveheart, or the LOTR movies, or the Wallabies does not make me snobby. I just have exacting tastes. *sniff*

Gwaimir Windgem · 06-21-2003, 05:46 PM

I certainly expect that he'd agree about the Comedia Jacksonia, as he has expressed...less than positive sentiment about it.

Oh yeah, and she also likes GARFIELD!

By the way, I found something you might like.

Shadowfax · 06-21-2003, 11:44 PM

In addition to Tolkien's "Letters," I'm also currently reading Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which I am finding quite shocking and depressing, actually (I'm almost halfway through).

Indeed I do. Just because I don't post ways to murder PJ more effectively & painfully does not mean that I like the movies.

(TT especially)

Rereading Harry Potter # 1. I'd forgotten how funny it was. Bwahaha. Can't wait for the Order of the Phoenix to be given to me.

LutraMage · 06-22-2003, 12:16 PM

Always seem to have more than one book on the go at a time. Am currently reading Robert Jordan's The Shadow Rising (No. 4 in the Wheel of Time' series - the blurb on the front says "Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal", but I remain unconvinced. The book is okay, but the series is getting a bit 'samey'.

I'm re-reading The Hobbit (haven't read it for years, strayed into The Hobbit Forum and remembered how much I loved it as a kid, ended up digging it out and now v. much enjoying it.

I'm also part way through the begining of Tolstoy's War and Peace but finding it real heavy going - still, haven't quite given up on it yet.....watch this space!

***Khamûl*** · 06-23-2003, 12:17 AM

I'm about half-way through Order of the Phoenix.

Everything else I was reading got put on hold.

TheWhiteRider · 06-23-2003, 12:31 AM

I'm about half way through, too

***IronParrot*** · 06-23-2003, 12:58 AM

I finished The Order of the Phoenix last night, so I'm now moving on to The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.

Sheeana · 06-23-2003, 02:42 AM

I'm about 200 pages from the end of Order of the Phoenix. I'm trying to put off finishing it, but I'll probably finish it tomorrow.

I DON'T WANT IT TO END!!!!

***Khamûl*** · 06-24-2003, 12:33 AM

Finished Order of the Phoenix and probably won't pick anything else up for a while. When I do, it'll probably be back to The Sum of All Fears.

Sheeana · 06-24-2003, 12:44 AM

Back to the uncanny x-men, and Thomas Covenant. *sigh*

Radagast The Brown · 06-24-2003, 04:13 PM

I'm reading the Order of The Pheonix (in Englsih. I'm on page 435) .

Got a new translated Eddings book. 'Domes of Fire'.

frodosgirlfriend · 06-24-2003, 04:29 PM

Silme*Christian · 06-26-2003, 07:21 PM
