Ah, how sweet

Currently I am reading one of Tom Clancy's OP Center Series.
'Sea of Fire', I find it well put together.
The following book I will read, would have to be the 'Acts of War' in the OP Center series.

I just got a new book, called 'the eye of the needle' Has anyone heard of it? It is of Post WWII, in Nazi Germany. I have yet to pick it up...

Is it Ken Follett? I think it's a spy story. I haven't read it myself, but people say it's thrilling, and an easy read.

Oh Artanis! you are going to have a fun read with Karamazov (you too Rian). that is an.Excellante booke. Worth putting off all others to read.
As for myself. I am reading 100 Great Operas, and How Opera Grew(old book and not up to date)

Artanis · 10-21-2003, 02:29 AM

All right! I shall finish Don Quijote soon, then it is Karamasov.

hectorberlioz · 10-21-2003, 04:16 PM

I finally remembered that "don quijote" is actually written "don quixote"

Don Quixote must be English. It's Don Quijote in Spanish.

The original title is 'El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha'.

I'm reading Homer Hickam's new book 'The Keeper's Son'. I'm near the halfway point (due to spending waaaay too much time in a waiting room), and it's pretty good so far. Anybody else like Hickam?

Oh, I'm also reading it!!!

Did you also read the first part of that trilogy - "The Crystal Cave"? I did and as I liked it, I'm sure I'll enjoy the second book, too.

no... we had to get one of her books to sort of supplement what we're doing in brit. lit. now... the medieval period. i tried to get "the crystal cave" when i went to borders but they didn't have it so i just got "hollow hills." i didn't really feel like searching for "crystal cave."

Hanza · 10-30-2003, 06:44 PM

finished girls in tears esterday and am now into princes diaries

zinnite · 10-30-2003, 08:33 PM

I'm currently into several short story collections right now--they make it so much easier to read several books at once.

"Gnarl!" by Rudy Rucker, "Welcome to the Monkeyhouse" by Kurt Vonnegut, "Burning Chrome" by William Gibson, and "The Best Short Stories of..." by J.G. Ballard are what I'm working on right now.
