I’m starting The Pelican Brief tonight. I’m on a Grisham jag lately. Going to try to read them all.
I just started The Kinsman Saga, by Ben Bova.
I just finished Oryx and Crake. It’s typical Margaret Atwood – dystopian fiction so well written it makes you want to kill yourself before it all comes true.
I’ve started re-reading The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith, as it’s been a while since I last read it.
Started Carrie by Stephen King tonight, and finished it about three hours later, wasnt bad, wont say much most of you have probably read/seen the movie. Will start to read The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett tomorrow. Then I hope to be able to find The Teena Brandon Story somewhere around here.
I tend to read a lot of books at once.
Out of Time’s Abyss by Edgar Rice Burroughs
A WWI British solider is separated from his “unit” while they’re exploring the mysterious dinosaur-populated island they’re stranded upon. He’s captured by the Wieroo, a race of flying murderers, but manages to escape with a young Stone-Age woman. Currently (Chapter 5) they’re trying to get back to the soliders’ base camp.
Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
I’ve been meaning to read this for years. Finally got around to it.
Arrow’s Flight by Mercedes Lackey
Talia, the Queen’s Own Herald, is about to start on her tour of duty. Meanwhile the Princess, Elspeth, has been Chosen as a Herald and confirmed as Heir. I’m only two chapters into this, so nothing much has happened except a rockin’ party in the tack room.
Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I finally got (almost) all of the Anne series, so I’m reading them in order to celebrate.
Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes
Imagine my dismay to learn that the Friendly Local Public Library only had the first half of the book. Oh well, at least it’s a nice copy (circa 1941) and the translation is readable.
Reading and Writing Short Arguments William Vesterman
I picked this up from a friend of my boyfriend. Currently reading the essays to see if I can use them when and if I start teaching. Some of them are horribly dated.
The Year’s Best Horror and Fantasy, 11th Edition
The Friendly Local Public Library has the 10th-15th editions. I’ve missed short stories.
The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume 1
This was one of my textbooks for one of many survey classes I took in college. I’ve always regretted selling it back to the bookstore at the end of the semester. Lucky me, I found it at a used bookstore for $2. Currently reading the selections from “Le Morte D’Arthur.”
Does that go with the Last Herald-Mage trilogy? Is it the only one, or are there more?
I’m reading (again) Rita Will: Memoir of a Literary Rabble-Rouser, the autobiography of Rita Mae Brown.
Somehow, I want to be just like her. 
Now I’m reading Lord of the Flies.
No, it’s a different trilogy. Arrows of the Queen, Arrow’s Flight, and Arrow’s Fall.
I just started A Prayer for Ownen Meany by John Irving. I know a few people that have read it and raved about the story. The only problem is they are always asking me if I have reached “X” portion of the story. I just stop listening and refuse to listen to the spoilers. 
The Fall of Berlin 1945 by Anthony Beevor. Saw it in one store and thought it looked good, then I saw it again this week on sale so I picked it up. I’m only up to the third chapter but it seems good so far. I’ll probably end up getting his earlier work Stalingrad as well.
And I am reading this book right now. Slow loading on the board tonight.
Well, all is forgiven, then - too many people can’t be bothered to do even that. Are you a fan of Asprin’s Myth series, by any chance? I am, and your sense of humor seemed to fit with Asprin’s.
Fraid not. Something else to consider reading, though. Thanks!
Drops into dead faint, then revives herself
I love Ferrol Sams. I have never “met” anyone else who felt the same (although the Amazon book reviews are gratifying).
Each one is better than the last, and they’re all damn good.
Just finished Tolkien’s Return of the King.
Just started James Michener’s Texas. It’s a rather large book, but Michener is one of my favorite authors, so I don’t think I’ll mind it.
