American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

I just finished American Gods!  Can't watch the TV show, so I decided to read the book. 

Reading IT by Stephen King now.  Same thing, in anticipation of the movie.

"The Sixth Extinction - An Unnatural History", by Elizabeth Kolbert (winner of a Pulitzer)

An amazing book about all the extinctions we are causing to our planet... and the overall scenario is not good... 

The end of Eddy from Eduard Louis. Interesting book

Terry Brook's newest Shannara book, The Black Elfstone.

I have read the Shining!  I read it when I was a teenager.  I like spooky haunting stuff.  I've really been enjoying IT.  It's almost like Ray Bradbury but a lot more gruesome and scary.  I got it at the library, so I've been tearing through it as fast as I can, because there are close to 50 holds on IT. 

Never heard of Dr. Sleep.  It's a sequel to the Shining?!  I had no idea!

Dr Sleep is goo but by no means his beast work...If you really want an epic story try  The Dark Tower series by King and another really goood one(hell there are so many ) is Insomnia....Also 11-22-1963 also By King and this is a cracker...what would have happened if you could have stopped the assignation of JFK...

"IT" has got to be one of his scariest...great bnook

I am half way through 'A Long Time Gone' by Karen White'. This is my second of Karen White's novels, and I am really enjoying it. A multi generational study of three women who grew up on the  Mississippi Delta.

I'm currently re-reading the Simarillion by Tolkien. It's been a while, and is definitely pretty hard to get through, but I'll get there! Lots of great background for the Hobbit and LOTR books, and adds great depth to Middle Earth

I'm working my way through the Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell; the series that the Last Kingdom is based on.

It's good. I don't read as much as I should, especially considering I'm a writer, and it's helpful to look at somebody else's prose from time to time.

I have a few books on the go at the moment:

- The Caves of Steel : Isaac Asimov
- The Universe in Your Hand; a journey through space, time and beyond: Christopher Galfard
- New York 2140: Kim Stanley Robinson
- Why the Future is Workless: Tim Dunlop


So much to read, so little time

I've read a fair bit about where we are heading as a species on this planet, and the future is not looking good at all. Considering the forecast global temperature rises over the next 70 years or so, it will be kids born today who will inherit the crap we are leaving them.

I'm reading the Outlander series of books by Diana Gabaldon. I'm on book 7 which is called Echo In The Bone. An amazing story and well written. Its a historical romance. This is the most I have ever read but the pages turn themselves!

The Idiot by Dostoevski.

has anybody mentioned in this thread "->-bleeped-<-, Confessions of Punk's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout" by Laura Jane Grace? I tried doing a forum search but didn't see anything.

i just finished the book.  I'm a big big Against Me! fan and a huge fan of Laura, who inspired me to accept myself and to start coming out.  The book is an autobiography that includes a lot of detail about the history of Laura's band. The book also covers her lifetime struggle with dysphoria and the events that led up to her coming out and recording her first album as Laura (approx 5 years ago).  The book includes some of her actual personal journal entries, which are interesting.

has anybody else read this? 

She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders by Jennifer Finney Boylan

About half way through 'The All-GIrl Filling Station's Last Reunion' by Fannie Flagg. Quite good!

Just finished reading :

Into The Flames: A Life In Transition
by Stephanie Jones




Really enjoyed the book.

Next on my list is Stephen King . Sleeping Beauties
