So...

It sounds interesting but it also sounds like it's geared more towards women. What would your opinion be on that.

I'm currently reading "Finnegan's Wake" by Joseph Wambaugh. Its a funny character driven thriller centered on an aging police detective in Cali who really wants to be a movie star.

Anbd BlueFire, please tell me that you read Mary Shelly's Frankenstein... and not Dean Friggin' Koontz's Frankenstein.

Hahah, my brother said he read Frankenstein, and I assumed he read the original like I did. I read it at his age and I almost finished it despite the complex, older english. I was almost proud of him for a moment - but no, he read the Dean Koontz one.

Yeah it was Shelley.. never even heard of the latter.

Anyone else read House of the Spirits or Wuthering Heights?

You are absolutely correct in that it is geared more towards women. That is why I originally said that I didn't think it would interest you all much. It has a lot of historical facts in it, but they're mixed up in romance and chivalry. Knights and handsome men of that sort...etc.

Hahah, ok. Yeah, I'm not one to read a romance novel. Not to say I jib romance completely, though. Some times it's interesting to read what women are thinking. It's like I'm decoding Ancient Aztec.

I read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince over the summer as well as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I'm currently re-reading The Lord of the Rings. Currently halfway through The Fellowship of the Ring.

I want to re-read the other Harry Potter books and also read the other books in the Hitchiker's series.

I'm trying to get my hands on the second and third Magic: The Gathering books for the Kamigawa block, without much luck. At the moment i'm reading the Dragon Lance Chronicles, first book: Dragons of Autumn Twilight

I just finished Stranger in a Strange Land. Everyone who saw me reading it couldn't resist asking me "You grok it?"

Dyne · 08-30-2005, 02:32 PM

Well, I finally finished Shogun. It didn't end how I wanted it to but I was satisfied with the wrap-up. I still highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.
