Nathan.

The Gunslinger - Stephen King.

I've read quite a few Stephen King books but i've never read the Dark Tower series and needed a new book so I though this was a good time to start.

Magic Street by Orson Scott Card  This is the second book of his that I've read, and they have both been superb.  One of these days I may have to cave in and read his Sci-Fi stuff.  Not a big Sci-Fi fan, though.  Fantasy, yes.  Sci-Fi, no.

How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life by Kaavya Visawanathan. Yes, I know all copies of this book were recalled from book stores and destroyed due to the plagiarism case against Ms. Viswanathan.  Copies already owned by public libraries were not recalled. There was such a big to-do about this book a while back, that I decided to read it.

I finally started reading again.  I just finished Idylls of the King and it was really great.  I haven't yet decided what's next :).

Just finished "Song of the Beast" by Carol Berg (my favorite author!).

Now I'm going to finish reading "The Looking Glass Wars" by Frank Beddor, and
"Watching the English" by Kate Fox.

I've got a lot of time to read nowadays:

Finished the Coldfire Trilogy (which was a good read and darkly religious/philosophical) a couple months ago and am almost done with the Harry Potter series now.  It's alright, but certainly nothing special.  Will be wrapping up Wheel of Time next, then who knows?

"True Grit" - a really surprisingly good book from the point of view of 14 yr old Mattie Ross.

"Child of God" - by Cormac McCarthy.

They are remaking the movie 'True Grit' (I kid you not) with the Coen Brothers having Jeff Bridges take the Rooster Cogburn role, previously played by by John Wayne, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin in the Glen Campbell and bad guy roles and some unknown as Mattie.

That's why I read the book. i forgot to say that.

The book is very much like the first movie, with several differences. I don't want to say what they are so people will be surprised by the film which is sticking to the book.
