I am reading Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon again. Hands down my favorite book ever.

 

Loves me some McCammon. My fave book of his is "Boys Life."

 

On topic... I bought a shit load of paperbacks at a church rummage sale over the weekend, so I can get back on the reading train. Out of that batch I started right in on Stephen King's "Danse Macabre," one of the few Kings that I haven't read.

I'm still reading that one... from June of last year.

Just started Raymond E. Feist.............Rise of a Merchant Prince

 

What did you think of that series? I enjoyed it fairly well (must have liked it, I've read the series twice...)

[SideShow]

I'm currently engrossed in the Wheel Of Time series. Because I am a nerd.

 

I recently re-read that entire series! Took me about 3 and a half weeks to read all the books again (for the 4th time, no less). Quite anxiously for the next book, even though it's being written by a different author (seeing as Mr. Jordan passed away) from Jordan's notes and outlines.

 

Does that make me an even bigger nerd?

 

Recently read these (probably over the last month):

 

IT and The Eyes Of The Dragon by Stephen King (2nd and 3rd times respectively)

The Sigma Protocol and The Janson Directive by Robert Ludlum

Children Of Amarid by David B. Coe

Fatal Error by Mark Morris & Paul Janczewski

[Swazi]

The Girl who played with Fire - Stieg Larsson

 

Stupid english title, but fascinating book to read !

I don't know if I've read anything he's done since that series. I read the one before it, The Riftwar Saga, but nothing after The Serpentwar Saga.

Hit Hard - Joey Kramer biog

[Evil Rick]

Our town library was making room for new books so they were selling a bunch of old books for a 25 cents each. I picked up (among others) a hardcover copy of "Walk This Way" Aerosmith autobiography. I started it yesterday at work and had a tough time putting it down. This is gonna be a good one!

[Dead Planet]

Presently reading "Assassin's Apprentice" by Robin Hobb......this is my first exposure to Hobb and I can say that she is very good.....if you like authors like Raymond Feist you'll like her as well.....

[Rockposer]

Too Close To Home - Linwood Barclay

[Nick C]

The Last Shop Standing - By Graham Jones.

 

A book about 50 different record shops each in a different location in the UK, and the people who work in them. These shops he reckons will survive the closures of many independant record shops. Dead good reading some sad and poignant and some funny moments, just a good interesting book....with a few pointers on places to visit.

Plus it has a photpgraph and feature about my mate Sid in Hebden Bridge who owns Muse Music, plus a couple of pages about one of my other mates John Brent ... who now runs the Hark to Towler rock pub nr Bury.

In fact I emailed the author as in the book he wonders whatever happened to John, so I let him know, and got a nice reply from him too.

"Ordinary Heroes" by Scott Turow. Awesome book. For those who haven't read it, read it....

Silence of the Lambs. MUCH better than the movie, and the movie was good too.

Finally finished 'Boy's Life' by Robert McCammon on my holiday!! Excellent book. Truly loved it.

 

Now reading:

 

'American Psycho' - Bret Easton Ellis ; wow, what can I say. I'm about half way through it but will already go on the record saying that this is hands down, easily the best book I have ever read. Totally in love with it.

Just checked out RAY HARRYHAUSEN- AN ANIMATED LIFE about the famous movie monster animator. Haven't started it yet but looks interesting
