I am reading two books "The Lost Twin Cities" and "Twin Cities - Then and Now".

A very interesting past my city(s) has had.

1984 - George Orwell...And IceNine will light into me about this - because I'm STILL reading it.

Lovely Bones, just bought it, about to read it.. How you like 1984 Bats?

It's good, actually. I'm enjoying it, just having a bitch of a time working it in with marching band. You know how it is.

Heh heh. That, and I'm lazy.

You suggested it to me!

Actually, you went on and on about it and wouldn't let me buy the new Zodiac book!

Really?

You must be kidding me!

I'm reading too many books at one time but here they are..

"Real Boys" William Pollack

"The Case For Christ" Lee Strobel

"Renewed Hearts Changed Lives" Betsy Holt

"The Screwtape Letters" C.S. Lewis

Unfortunately, shit nothing. I was doing a lot of reading while on vacation, but now I have an $18 fine at my local library so I can't check out anything else

So I've been rereading my personal collection. Carrie by Stephen King (I've read this book, oh, about 6 times) and Are you there God? It's me, Margaret (a nostalgic choice, I can zip through this bad boy incredibly fast, I've probably read it over two dozen times since the 5th grade).

I read Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, The Color Purple by Alice Walker, and I know why the caged bird sings by Maya Angelou while vacationing, though. Not too bad, eh?

I am reading a book called Reading Books for Dummies.

I can't get past the first few pages though.

Taking it back...

Donald Sobol, "Encyclopedia Brown: Boy Detective"

AzureStar said:

Oh, heh heh. Thanks Azure! Just after I posted this I finished another paragraph, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself (although really really tired...)

Your encouraging words really help, if I am reading you right... Haven't gotten to the chapter on sarcasm yet though... Hmmm...

2the9s said:

I'm always here to help! You can skip the chapter on sarcasm though... I think you got that nailed down!

I was so bored that I started a book by what's his name.
Uhm.
John Grisham.

Just cuz Palahniuk is probably wanking off somewhere and I have to read SUMTHING in between writing myself.

And what am I writing? My bloody autobiography. But the warped version. You'll like it. If I ever finish it.

In the meantime I just write another song for Carrie. Let's see...

I am just finishing "The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass" by Stephen King...


EDIT: Stephen King has already finished books 5 and 6 of the series and is nearly finished with the final installment, book 7. This series is meant to be ONE complete novel, so you should read all of them in a row if you are interested in his non-horror writing.

Just picked up Hannah Crafts's "The Bondwoman's Narrative" edited by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. It's the oldest novel found, written by a slave in America. Was on the NYT best seller list for the longest.

If anyone likes Kerouac, Bukowski or Hunter Thompson, my boyfriend is a writer and people have compared him to those authors.

This is his website www.sunwolfpress.com Check it out for a good .

I've read almost everything ever written by this man, and I never could get into The Dark Tower series.

Natsume said:

It is certainly not his horror stuff... but I like it a lot...

He went a different direction with the Dark Tower stuff.

Just finished
"In search of schrodinger's cat" by John Gribbin,
(very good 'who, what, when' about quantum physics)
and I'm currently halfway through
"Bad Wisdom" by Bill Drummond & Mark Manning
(starts off half-sane, about their journey to the north pole to sacrifice an icon of Elvis Presley and therefore save the world (don't ask), but soon degenerates into psychotic fantasy)

BorisFishpaw said:

That was a great book!

He wrote another one called "Schrodinger's Kittens" that you should check out too!

I have a bunch of his books!
