thestand Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 Whoa... when did that happen? That's really cool. Amazon.com has a Dark Tower store, with every book, every book on the book, and all audio versions on it. Wicked cool. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/brows...1327483-3307863

GeddyRulz Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 "Rush: Chemistry" by Jon Collins. Now I'm re-reading the two most autobiographical chapters of Neil's "Travelin Music."
madra sneachta Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Almost finished 'Naked Empire', the seventh book of Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" series. I've also got a backlog of stuff built up since Christmas, Colin Bateman's 'Belfast Confidential' is next on the bookshelf beside the bed.
Romi - The Bringer of Love Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers and Regine Deforges' Le Diable En Rit Encore - La Bicyclette Bleue
Hatchetaxe&saw Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 "Is it me or is everyhing sh*t" - basically a book on how crap modern life is. It's pretty crap, the book, that is. The last good book I read was John Peel's autobiography. Very moving, hilarious, sad, happy kinda book.
lakeside bard Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Col.Tim Collins autobiography........or how i won the gulf war single handed........what a load of arse ( the book that is )
GeddyRulz Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I'm on an Anne Tyler kick right now. I just finished "Saint Maybe" and now I'm halfway through "A Patchwork Planet." Next up: "A Slipping-Down Life" and then "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant." Tyler reminds me of one of my favorite novelists - John Irving. His most recent, "Until I Find You," was given a good review by Neil Peart on Peart's website. (And Geddy has also said he's a John Irving fan; see the PRESTO tourbook.)
plodder Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I've just started to re-read the Sword Of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Great fun.

defrushfan01 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Im still reading WHITEOUT, but waiting for my copy of RUSH Chemestry to show up so i can start that one!!!!!!!
Cygnalschick Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I actually picked up a novel from half-price books because it was the title of a Rush tune- Losing It. And the author, Alan Cumyn, is Canadian! I'm almost done with it and it's hilarious
thestand Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 My library that I volunteer at just got (finally...) the Beatles Anthology. I of course grabbed it before the public could get their hands on it...
wulfhrafnr Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Stephen Kings Cell, good read, crappy ending.
2112-Rob-2112 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Eh I HATE READING...But whenever I am really bored or something I am Reading Traveling Music. Its pretty good so far.

Jack Aubrey Posted March 14, 2006 Author Posted March 14, 2006 http://a1204.g.akamai.net/7/1204/1401/05011112011/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/8920000/8928439.jpg I had really mixed feelings about this one. As most of you know, I am a huge fan of the Aubrey/Maturin series. I first read the books eight years ago, and re-read them when I learned that a feature film was being made. This book has been on the market for quite some time. I had been putting off buying it because I knew that it was unfinished and that I would be depressed over that fact. However, my undying fandom overrode my fears and I bought it. It's Patrick O'Brian writing at his usual level of greatness. The language, the humor, the characterization, and the vivid detail are all there in full bloom. The bad part is that once the story really starts to roll, it abruptly ends. Even though when reading it I knew that I was saying goodbye, I am still glad that I did and I am also glad to know that Mr. O'Brian's skills remained undiminished to the end.
thestand Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 QUOTE (wulfhrafnr @ Feb 28 2006, 08:40 PM) Stranger in a Strange Land Become one of my favourites. I hadn't read it for awhile, but finally picked it up a few months ago.
GeddyRulz Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Just finishing "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant" by Anne Tyler. It was supposed to be one of her best, but I didn't think so. After this, it's probably onto another Anne Tyler book.
