hey I read that book about 10 years ago. it is worth a reread before the sequel. I hope it is worth the wait.

Stacy check out Peter Straub or try Dean Koontz for something a little different. Dark Rivers of the heart, Intensity etc.

Wave my husband is currently reading Rainbow 6 - he's totally into it (its keeping him off the net for a few days LOL)

The books I read at the moment have such fascinating *cough* titles as "International Human Resource Management", "International Organisations" and "The Expatriate Experience" . I need to read some fun stuff!! I might have to re-read my Bridget Jones books or borrow my brother's Harry Potter books. Otherwise I'm stuck with "War & Peace" which has been collecting dust on my book-shelf for years now...... How does one get started on that book???

If you haven't read it before, start it soon. One of the best ever. But I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that.

I too have started re-reading Lord of the Rings like many of you. I have to read a chapter out loud to the missus every night. She's never read it before.

Nothing at the current moment, but I've got Martin Amis "Money: A Suicide Note" next in line on my want list. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to pick this up during the week.

[xyznicks]

I'm on the last chapter of The Silmarillian.

[Calluffence]

Sounds like an interesting read Gman. Just when I think I have the isalmic/muslim who middle east relgion kibosh thing figured out I totally loose perspective again

I'm starting tomorrow on a book about the Royal Family Of Monaco, which I am a distant relative of through Grace Kelly. It's true...a member of the Kelly family was a first cousin of a member of the Kilduff family back in Ireland. It's a long-distance connection, but I am related to royalty. Nifty, huh?

I also checked out a book about the Kennedys in Hollywood (that family fascinates me. They had a tough time of it) and George Carlin's "Napalm and Silly Putty".

Sincerely,

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff

I just started reading Lord of the Rings. Want to refresh my memory of the story before it comes out in theaters. Can't wait to see it.

Not reading anything at the moment. Any suggestions of good new scary books to read? I like stuff like Stephen King.

I was going to post this just the other day actually. I absolutely love to read and am reading about three books at the moment. Well sorta. I'm trying to finish two, so I can start another. I'm usually into crime novels, psycho serial-killer stuff so right now I am reading From Potter's Field by Patricia Cornwell. I'm also reading Summer Sisters by Judy Blume and I am telling you, this is a book you will not put down. I think any woman out there could relate to this book. I don't normally read this type of book but someone loaned it to me and suggested it. I hate romance novels.. so that's not what it is. I also started reading a book called House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski about a house that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It's a symbolic story about impending darkness.. but the book is set up up really crazy.. with the text upside down, diagonal, sometimes only one word to a page.. and so I had to give it a break. Next up is The Celestine Prophecy: An Adventure, a book on Spirituality. A friend sent it to me as a gift because he thought we connected so well, like in the book. I'll let you all know if it's good.

Work is slow, so I am currently re-reading Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and Ben Elton's Popcorn.

I'm also slowly but surely going through The Shameful Life of Salvador Dali.

[beloveds]

A bit slack when it comes to reading at the moment. My three favourite books of all time are:

Stephen King's "IT"
Absolutely amazing book. Brilliant characterisation and you feel sad when you finish because you know you're never going to read about the characters again. They almost become like friends.

Stephen King's "The Stand"
Same as previous. Enthralling book

Douglas Adams "Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy" series.
Classic English comedy. Will always be my favourite series of books. Long live Zaphod Beeblebrox!!!!!!!!!!!

[AXGreg]

I just started the complete works of Oscar Wilde, which has been a wonderful read so far. I recently finished Robert Ludlum's The Sigma Protocol. I can definitely recommend that for the cold winter evenings.

[NEronchik]

A History of Western Philosophy by Russell Bertrand

[cinggooft]

I'm actually re-reading The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. They have finally put out a sequel 20 years later. I have to reacquaint myself with the characters before I read The Black House.

[Goodwin]

I have to read something to relax me. After a long day at work i like to unwind with a good book.
Right now I am reading two books.
The Basement by Bari Woods
Faerie Tale by Raymond Feist

Very good twisted books..

[Abnorttrano]

Haven't had time for reading lately. Spending to much time at work. Need to find a good book to get into though.

[6Rexw51X]

Hey Kay here's some fun you could have with those heavy reads.

We have some nasty COP's & SOP's at work that get so dry so I usually break it down how I know best and it helps me remember more too.

1) How are these policies working to manage the workers heart (see managed heart)
2) How can the workers use these policies to work for them. LOL

Hey grew up in a socialist country, my BA is in Social Science it only comes naturally

Nah - do the Brigett Jones thing or read something historical and really smutty - now thats fun

[SallythePearl]

Did this about 2 months ago? What is everyone reading now.

I just picked up a book written by Jacquelyn Mitchard "A Theory of Relativity". She wrote Deep End of The Ocean. I read that book before I saw the movie and although the movie was really good it did not shine next to her writing. I'll keep you posted. If I post less this weekend it probably means the book is fantastic

[vSzsgifP]

I'm reading Somebody's Daughter. the Halifax -Toronto Pimping Ring... I like it cause I went to school with some of the pimps it talks about (no they were not my friends) and it mentions streets and area's I'm familiar with
