I read that recently. I really like Philip K. Dick. So far I've read about 6 of his novels. Someday I will have read them all.

"Elizebeth I, Queen of England" sounds like an interesting book. Did you enjoy it? Would you recommend it?

Hanza · 07-23-2003, 12:40 PM

I am reading harry potter 5. i am sooo nearly finished!

hectorberlioz · 07-23-2003, 05:43 PM

I'm reading War and Peace, couple hunred more pages to go! (out of 1443). I definitely had to get used to single quote: >'< and double quote in single quote.

Radagast The Brown · 07-23-2003, 05:46 PM

I'm reading Dune.

Sheeana · 07-23-2003, 05:48 PM

YES! Another one.

Hope ya enjoy it as much as I did, Rad.

hectorberlioz · 07-23-2003, 05:54 PM

Ahhh! wanted to read dune.To complex for my feeble mind..., maybe next year.

Silme*Christian · 07-23-2003, 07:28 PM

I have finnished ALL the Dune books. There pretty dang good.

Sheeana · 07-23-2003, 07:59 PM

Coool. Which one's your favourite?

Silme*Christian · 07-23-2003, 10:34 PM

I asume you mean me? If so then... I like the first Dune (Can remember if it had a self tittle or not) Children Of Dune, and Dune Mesiah (sp?). Not exactly in that order. I have another Dune book, but I didn't care for it.

Sheeana · 07-23-2003, 10:52 PM

Dune Mesiah, eh? Didn't particularly care for that one too much. A bit weak compared to the others. I liked Dune, God Emperor of Dune, and Chapterhouse Dune.

I have read Dune, God Emperor of Dune, but I can hardly recall it.

cee2lee2 · 07-24-2003, 10:42 PM

Finished The Order of the Phoenix and am reading more in the Miss Read series. Also reading Miss Demeanor by Joan Hess. She writes amusing mysteries set in a thinly disguised Fayetteville, Arkansas

Shadowfax · 07-25-2003, 02:43 PM

Started Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. It's the original drama that the movie My Fair Lady is based on.

Linaewen · 07-26-2003, 07:15 AM

I have books about Norse mythology & Scandinavian history, Cambodian history and the Old Kingdom Trilogy, by Garth Nix.
The Old Kingdom trilogy is a dark fantasy series, and I've read it the first two in the series-I'm just refreshing myself so I can read the last book. If you can get your hands on it, I'd recommend it, though it could be considered as "teenage fiction".

EDIT: This series consists of "Sabriel", "Lirael" & "Abhorsen", which I mention later in this thread.

Annabelle · 07-27-2003, 08:41 AM

I am currently reading "The Sign of Four" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

**crickhollow** · 07-27-2003, 10:45 AM

I just finished the first Dune book. Picked it up from the library, and then spent the day doing nothing but reading. :P I'm such a lazy bum.

Silme*Christian · 08-01-2003, 12:39 PM

Did you like the Dune book?

Varda Oiolosseo · 08-02-2003, 05:05 PM

I've just finished reading A Midsomer Night's Dream again for school, but i'm reading Sabriel now.
