My friends have been pestering me to read Dune for ages now, and I've finally gotten around to it. Really enjoying it so far! It's been a while since I've read some sci-fi.
I took a Science Fiction Literature grad course as one of my humanities in college. (I are a engineer.) Dune was one of the books on the reading list and everyone was complaining about its length. I had already read it twice.
Easiest A I ever got.0 -
No reading is for people who don't feel the need to look in a mirror all day and take pictures of themselves. :noway:0

I'm reading the same Outlander series.. halfway through Dragonfly in Amber..I love the story and characters... However, when I see the commercials for the upcoming tv show on Starz this fall based on that series in books, neither Clare nor Jamie shown in those commercials fit the Clare and Jamie in my head from reading the books.. I hate when that happens.0

YEAH BUD.. LOVE THE GODDESS.. it's a great read isn't it? Have you seen the documentary Dream of Life? I got to see her live again last year at Memphis in the Mud. I don't know what a 33 1/3 book is.. of haven't heard of 'making of horses." Horses as in her LP?
as for my reading, I'm taking these on vacation: Anthony C Winkler's God Carlos and the Lunatic,Isabel Allende's Island Beneath the Sea... and maybe the Count of Monte Cristo. just variety to keep me going in airports...0 -

I like all King's books they are so easy to pick up and get in to and this is no different, unlike his usual horror stuff this one will make you more frightened of the guy next door than any ghostly spirit. Doctor Sleep was enjoyable too I must say.0 -

The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith…second in the series.0

I'm in the middle of Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy, at the insistence of a friend, but I'm not totally feeling it? There's some pacing problems, some characterization problems. Yesterday I abandoned all sense and finally decided to read The Fault In Our Stars to know wtf everyone's going on about, and I finished it in about five hours, and it was.. okay. Not as good as it's touted, but not as bad as I was expecting.
Recently, I just finished the Rogues anthology from GRR Martin, and it's excellent. Some really, really good short fiction from some very talented authors.0 -
none. i got tired of reading and have traded it for full seasons watching of trashy old shows.
went thru pretty little liars, proceeded to exhaust all seasons of gossip girl, and am now plowing through drop dead diva.0 -
City of heavenly fire -cassandra clare0

I'm reading
Gandhi & Churchill by Arthur Herman (It's super interesting, and is the "just for fun" read on this list).
...and a bunch of books for prep work for next term, including The Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler, A Canticle for Leibowitz (Miller), 1984 (Orwell), Brave New World, A Short Introduction to Globalization, A Short Introduction to Religion in America, American History: A Survey, The Handmaid's Tale (Atwood), and World War Z (Brooks).
I haven't started prepping the World History class, yet. But the anti-utopia, dystopia & post-apocalyptic fiction class is shaping up nicely.0
