What's the Last Book You Read/Finished? - Part 1 Page 1 Chapter 1 Paragraph 1 Line 1

i'm kinda sorta reading Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini again

 

[Lily Adler]

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

 

[JewishHobbit]

I started Star Wars: Allegiance but my book club met last night and our next book is the Stand by Stephen King and with how long that is I'll probably put Allegiance on hold for a while. I just bought an MP3 player so I'll be listening to the Stand while at work. Hopefully that'll make it go quicker.

I've opted to go with the original version instead of the newer one with 500 extra pages. 800 pages is more than enough without adding 500 more.

I'm excited though. I've never read anything by King and I've always heard this book was good so I've wanted to try it out for quite some time. Eager to start it tomorrow.

Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene. It didn't grab me as much as the other Greene novels I've read, but I still liked seeing his humorous side.

You should read it's companion/sorta sequel, John LeCarre's Tailor Of Panama. Same basic story but in Panama and written by LeCarre which means more depravity, better dialogue and more grey.

I've already read it several times,but I loved Albert Speer's "Inside the Third Reich." Just finished it again.

The Night Season by Chelsea Cain

I really like this series but I was pretty disappointed by this book. Hopefully the next one will be better.

More Damned Lies and Statistics by Joel Best

 

[childeroland]

Consciousness Explained, by Daniel Dennet. I still don't see how stringing up serial machines accounts for a parallel software architecture that is the mind and accounts for an illusory experience of qualia--why would a multiple self-reports system need to be aware of itself if a p-zombie can perform the same functions without even knowing he/she is a p-zombie--but I'm probably missing a lot and Dennet has permanently dissuaded me of the need to posit any sort of Cartesian agent (except maybe a property dualistic one) to account for consciousness.

The Screwtape Letters - C.S. Lewis

One of these days I'll read Mirror Christianity by him. I keep hearing about how life changing it is by people I respect. It's just hard for me to read stuff that isn't Fiction. I lose interest easily.

The Book of the Dead - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

 

[Victarion]

The Book of the Dead - Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

How did you like it? For me their best is still either Reliquary or Still Life With Crows.

The Soulforge by Margaret Weis. This book was quite intense and ugly at times, yet the characterization of the Heroes of the Lance were well done and it works great as a standalone novel and as a prequel to the Dragonlance Chronicles.

It was also a nice farewell to the Heroes of the Lance before diving into the War of Souls.

I liked it, but I thought the way Diogenes went out was kind of lame.

Yeah, Reliquary was alright but I really liked Still Life With Crows. One of my favorites that isn't part of the Pendergast series is Riptide.

Finished
Star Wars: The Wrath of Darth Maul

Reading List (so far)
John Carter: The Gods of Mars (Book Two) -Reading
John Carter: The Warlord of Mars (Book Three)
The Mark of Zorro (The Curse of Capistrano, 1919)

Also considering reading "Hood (The King Raven Trilogy)" It sounds like an interesting re-tale of Robin Hood.

Over the past two weeks I have been read/listened to:

The Hobbit (on CD)

I love audiobooks; I recently listened to The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde read by David Barnes. Absolutely chilling.

The Ten-Cent Plague - The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America, by David Hajdu.

Interesting bit of history...

 

[JewishHobbit]

I just finished listening to the Stand by Stephen King (the original version). While my PG mentality cringed at the language I still felt it was a fantastic read (or listen to I suppose). Even the original version with hundreds of pages removed, I STILL feel like I could have taken out another 100 pages and not hurt the story. I liked the characters but felt the moment it was all leading toward was a bit of a let down. I did like the story though and if ever I see the hardback at Half Priced Books I'll likely pick it up for my book shelf.

 

[ChickenScratch]

Books on tape huh? Can't do it, cannot for the life of me do it.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I didn't like it at first but I got used to it and now I like it. The trick is finding the ones read by people that can tell the story and do voices well. The Star Wars ones are good and the one I just listened to for the Stand was good. I've heard some real crappy ones though.

Yeah, I'll have to check it out myself. I have The Weight of Glory, which I have yet to get around to reading. I came across Screwtape in my school's library and figured I'd read it, so I did and I liked it. I try not limit myself to fiction even though I do enjoy it. I suppose I don't lose interest when reading something that is philosophy and/or theology-related because a lot of it expands on what I already know about God and I like to read and examine what the author has to bring to the table, especially if it is applicable in such a way that I can walk away from it being able to give reasons and explanations for my beliefs. Plus, it gives a friend of mine -- who is majoring in philosophy of religion -- and myself something to talk about.

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro

 

[Max J Power]

The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks

It really does make protecting oneself against zombies seem like a plausible reality. Brooks is very thorough in his analysis of zombie scenarios, and very funny too.
