That an old one or a new one?

I HATE it when I am off for a few days and miss new books...

I am reading Mortal Engines by Philip Reeves.

It is awful fun! I am really into juvenile fiction. I am just filling space between Grim Tuesday and Drowned Wednesday, really.

i'm currently making my second attempt at war and peace. thanks to my ADD, i'm also reading "the new thought police" by tammy bruce, "rewriting history" by dick morris, and "our character, our future" by alan keyes.

That's a really nice one! I read it quite a few years ago and it's still one of my favorites. Little question: i always thought that one of the scenes in the movie Insomnia (Robin Williams, Al Pacino), where they chase each other over wood that is floating down the river is inspired by (or closely resembles) a scene from the book. Am i dreaming this? (I know, i could look it up myself, but i'm laaaazy )

Oh, and i'm reading Baudolino by Umberto Eco right now. It's ok, but not nearly as good as any of his other books i've read.

Franny and Zooey

It's ok, prefer "catcher....." though

I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe

RipHer2Shreds said:

I've been needing new books. I think I need to check these out, I've heard GREAT things.

I just finished re-reading "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" by Hardy
and I'm starting "3 Dollars" by Elliot Perlman.
