I tossed Left behind and read the Kindaichi case files instead. Its an awsome manga by TokyoPop. I really recommend it.

I just started Enchantment by OSC. I also went to Half-priced books last night, so now I have six more books to choose from after I'm done: The First Chronicles of Amber - Zelazny The World According to Garp - Irving Streets of Laredo - McMurtry Pastwatch - OSC Dune Messiah - Herbert Rebekah - OSC
All of those for just $31! Two are hard-cover. Which should I start first?

I'm currently reading Tolstoy's War and Peace . I've always wanted to read it. Does that mean I'm crazy?

Nothing...I'm in search of something new to read. I've got some Christian nonfiction to read, for a small group study coming up, but no fiction on my plate at the moment.
I think I'm beginning to have withdrawal symptoms....I've read everything in the house and don't want to buy anything new and since the kids are home with me every day, I can't go to the grownup part of the library and leisurely browse anymore. I'm stuck over in the "Early Childhood" room.
I've been enjoying YA lately, anybody read Garth Nix's Sabriel series?

Ok, Kwea and whoever else might be interested: I finished the First Amber Chronicles. I have to be honest here - I really didn't enjoy them that much at all. They were ok, but I didn't get excited when I thought about picking up the book every night. I never felt "close" to Corwin or any of the other characters, and that kinda bothered me. It didn't bother me when people died, and I just kind of wanted to finish and be done with them. What does everyone else think about them?
Reading the annotations, mainly. I just read the stories recently, and realized I bough the Annotated book for a lot of dough on eBay and never read the notes! Posts: 720 | Registered: Oct 2004

Well, I'm stuck on trying to finish up The Elegant Universe. It started out great, but now it's just plain incomprehensible. I have a strong urge to just put it down and get back to some good fiction, but I'm stubbornly refusing until I finally grasp this stuff.

I'm only in the middle of three books right now; I finished one last night.
Ender's Game (I'm perpetually in the middle - I hit the end and start over) Dune (ditto) The Great Hunt (Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, Book Two, for the unknowing)

You couldn't ask this when I was in the middle of something profound like Dante's Purgatorio, or even Agatha Christie.
Nope, you ask when I'm reading brain candy about a guy who can't figure out who the bad guy is without the help of his psychic cat.

Hey! I love Qwill! And Koko. And the other cat. Yum Yum or something. I haven't read one of those in ages... maybe I'll steal one of my mom's when I go home this weekend.

Trying to read Blood Canticle by Anne Rice, and am reminded of why I stopped reading the Vampire Chronicles.
