Reading too little at the moment. I guess you could say that I'm still reading Jose Saramago - The Double. And no worries Fudge, the last I finished is, Julian May - The many-colored land (that's a fantasy novel) |

Calvin and Hobbes are awesome. They and Bloom County are among my favorite comic strips. |

Just finished reading The Sims from F. Paul Wilson. It's a book about a company that has engineered a "race" of workers that's part chimpanzee, part human. It's really cool. |

My brothers read Calvin and Hobbes all summer. I love Homocidal Psycho Jungle Cat, my mom even commented on how incredibly Michuesque that book is just from the title. I will admit that I do read deep books, but that's the price I pay for going to a prep school. As of monday, it's good-bye The Aeneid and The Bible and hello Confessions by Augustine, Reason in History by Hegel, and The Brothers Karamozov by Dostyevsky (of course, we'll be reading more than that, I just don't want to get up and find the list.) But I will say this, I also have to read Grapes of Wrath for my thesis and, on the side because I lost a bet to my dad, Let Freedom Ring by Sean Hannity (I've met him twice, he's a nice guy.) In return, my dad had to read Silent Spring by Rachel Carson, which he's almost finished with *damn him.* |

Just finished The Bourne Ultimatum. The Bourne series is pretty quality, if a little out of date, and the movies have about 0.00000000001% to do with the plot line(s) of the book(s). |

Yeah, it's hard for me to get started with Fellowship, and I generally read the series about once a year or so. You didn't even get to the Old Forest/Tom Bombadil section (which almost does me in every time, and is thankfully not in the movies at all). |

That's the only part in the whole book that I do not care for. Other than that, it's a really good read. I think Peter Jackson did an excellent job making the movies, and whoever did the casting was just top notch. I'm eagerly awaiting the extended version of Return of the King to complete my collection....

Good food for thought: Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance (The American Empire Project) by Noam Chomsky . Extremely verbose, but very enlightening, not to say disconcerting! Pfft! |

I haven't finished it yet since it just came out, but so far The Dark Tower (7th and last in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King) is pretty good. Yup, I'm on a Stephen King kick right now.....it's all good. |

I just sat down and read Something Positive, from beginning to end, over the past day or so (I've got too much free time right now). And I have to say that I absolutely love this webcomic. I also now realize where several of you got your avatars.

Agnost, after Something Positive, you should try John Kovalic's Dork Tower. |

I'm a pretty big fan of Dork Tower too, although I always forget to go read it. :eyes: Just finished reading Jennifer Government (by Max Barry, of course). I'd say it was a mediocre book, but I did enjoy reading it. Looking forward to picking up Syrup, if I can find it...I hear it's a lot better. I do think that Jennifer Government would make a good movie. I also read Tricky Business by Dave Barry this week. It was pretty good, although not quite to the level of his first book, Big Trouble (which I really recommend to just about anybody). |
