Ajbera, how's Fight Club the book? I've only seen the movie, which I thought was absolutely fantastic.

The book is pretty good, although rather short. You get a lot more insight into the Narrator and the cult of space monkeys, so yeah read it.


Sir Ralph, is Baudolino any good? Eco is my favorite writer, but I refuse to plunk down 27$ US for a new hardcover book. I 've heard mixed reviews on this particular title.

Im reading: Did the Devil make Darwin do it? by Assorted authors, Foucault's pendulum by Eco (my favorite book), The portage to San Christobal of AH by georg steiner.

and required reading for some management training courses as well!


I'm reading "The Wit & Wisdom of Ocar Wilde",
"The Onion Girl" by Charles deLint (urban fantasy), and
a collection of short stories by Elizebeth Ann Scarbarough.

I just finished reading OSC's Shadow Puppets... very good book. I wonder if there will be another sequel to the Ender's Game series.

OSC is helping develop a computer game too, and it looks very nice! Advent Trilogy -- there's a preview of it on Gamespy. The link is on the front page of www.philoticweb.net

i just finished neil gaiman's american gods. over all i think it's an intersting take on the concept, and a rather nice twist at the end.

now, i'm onto clive barker's everville. it picks up about five years after the great and secret show, and it promises to be jus as exciting.

[ajbera]

"Everville" is an excellent continuation of the themes/characters introduced in "The Great and Secret Show", and I hope Barker writes a third book in the series someday.

If you haven't already, I strongly suggest you read Barker's "Imajica". It's frigging huge, but marvelous through and through (although I didn't get all the way through on my first attempt) and it has a wonderful conclusion.

[self biased]

indeed. i picked up the great and secret show partly because of its size. i had alot of time to read last year, and was flying through books. it was also my first book by barker. it's so outlandishly bizarre, and it makes it seem so matter-of-fact that it amazed me.

/agree.
It's one of the (very) few books I stopped reading without finishing it. Complete crap IMO.

Oh, and I just finished the last Grisham. Gotta read Rendez vous with Rama for the second time now

Dan Simmons's Fall of Hyperion. I finished Hyperion a few weeks ago and the blasted book ended right when things started to get interesting. In other words, they are pretty much one novel split in two parts.

There's two more books in the series, Endymion and (I think) Rise of Endymion. Excellent story.
