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... Last edited by Lady Tinuveil : 10-20-2003 at 02:45 PM. |

Right now I'm reading.. posts at da moot!! 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?

The Hollow Hills by Mary Stewart... about the legend of King Arthur and Merlin and whatnot. Haven't gotten that far into it but it doesn't seem too bad.

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. |
