I am patiently waiting for the next Harry Dresden book to come out;

BUT until then, I'm trying to get into my latest forray into the DUNE series;

...but I just can't seem to be able to get into it. I can usually blow through a DUNE book in a matter of weeks...but this one is stumping me.

I also have "Digital Fortress" and "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown sitting on my dresser, untouched. Maybe I'll pick up one of those.

WHAT good books are YOU all into now???

Absolutely loving it.

The last book I read before starting this one was Eat, Pray, Love and I really liked it.

One of the stranger novels I've read in a while.

I'm only on chapter 2 but it's proven to be utterly compelling, strange, and a bit charming.

I've always wanted to write a future-world sci-fi novel that took place in Bangkok.

Apparently, somebody already has, and it was voted the 9th best Sci-Fi book of 2009

by Time magazine.

I've never read anything Russian, except "Crime And Punishment" back in High School.

I read that one in high school too. Did you like it?

I have always felt a certain attraction towards Russian literature and history, especially that period.

To be perfectly honest, I don't recall much about it other than it being a LONG read. Perhaps now that I'm an adult I should give it another shot!

I believe that. However, I remember not even noticing how long it was once I started to get into the story and all. It was also a relatively recent experience for me But its length is certainly not what I think of when I remember that book as I really, really liked it.

Yeah, perhaps you should!

I love re-reading books, I always find something different, a new feeling. I intend to do that with The Little Prince. It didn't really impress me when I read it 5-6 years ago, but I do remember some parts of it touching me in a certain way.

the man can write. he wrote the easy rawlins series, (i always picture morgan freeman as easy rawlings) and the fearless jackson series..

Nothing

I have no access to books in this city and I don't like reading e-books

I had a great time re-reading my favorite childhood book, The Wizard of Oz, a few years ago.

I am reading The Glass Menagerie and Madame Bovary at the moment.

I just finished reading Mary Roach's Stiff, and I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much. It's hilarious, disgusting, morbid and every page said something interesting.

I read that one in high school. Almost all my friends found it incredibly boring, but I could somehow relate, I liked it!

I remember reading that in high school. Wasn't Christopher Reeves in the made for tv movie?

I have no idea. I watched the movie (the one with Sophie Marceau) a few months ago, even though I had planned to read the book first, which is what I always do if there's a movie adaptation. And, as it often happens when it comes to books/movies, I can already see it's somehow empty compared to the book, no matter how good the actors may be.

There's already a movie out based on his first novel.

No, no, no.

You need to get the old Masterpiece Theatre version with Nicola Pagett as Anna, the 1948 movie with Vivien Leigh, and the 1935 movie with Greta Garbo.

Perhaps I do, but that one was on tv and I wanted to see how Sophie Marceau handled the role.

After I finish reading the book I might check those versions out!

I'm reading this absolutely annoying book with an awesome arrogant prick as the main character, the owner of Yab Yub, world's best known brothel (his own words).

A collegue of mine lend it to me, he found it an incredibly good book

He's a very intelligent bloke so I thought the book would be interesting...

Now, I've bought this a few weeks ago (Sarah's key in English) and it's laying next to my bed, I'm dying to read it but I'm so weird, I can't before I've finished that stupid brothel book
