Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium.

 

By Carl Sagan.

Just finished Dance of Death - Pendergast Series this series is like no other ! its awesome!

I just finished reading a book on religion and now Im reading Looking For Alabrandi

Finished up The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo for my bookclub yesterday and it was fantastic! Can't wait till out next meeting where we will be discussing the 2nd in the series.... The Girl Who Played With Fire. :) we wont be meeting until January so I have time to read something else in the meantime :)

 

next up:

 

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

 

I'm reading Freedom now, it's awesome!

Imma read The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

 

...right in time for Halloween :D

 

then its The Hunger Games, Push by Saphire and ..... Ill finish Eat Pray Love Closer to next June when I'll be traveling.

Finished my last book. Now onto moby dick.

I'm halfway through Pullman's "Northern Lights". Hard to comment on it now.

I'm reading...wait for it...

 

DON QUIXOTE!

 

YEAH!

 

I only just started, and it seems alright at the moment. I'm reading an English translation (obviously :rolleyes:) that's been called the best translation yet, and I'm finding the style of language to be slightly confusing at times. But the thing is, Don Quixote has been widely hailed as the greatest piece of literature of all time, and now I'm concerned that I'm not going to find it that great because it's been way oversold.

 

Anyways, that's just my little bit of input for today.

 

(BTW, I just got up to the part where Don Quixote hires Sancho Panza and they leave La Mancha, presumably heading out for higher plains :dozey:)

FlashForward, by Robert J. Sawyer. It's the book that came 10 years before the TV series. And is an awesome book. XD

I'm re-reading Everything Is Illuminated.

Next on the list is Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby.

I just finished the lovely bones (great book, but very sad), now reading one day (I'm reading chapter four, like it). I need new books, but I'm not sure what to buy. Maybe the white tiger, mr rosenblum's list or the time traveller's wife. Anyone here who read these books?

I've read the timetravellers wife... or listened to the unabridged audible book. A LOT more detailed than the film, much funnier & a lot sadder. Worth reading.

I read Lovely Bones a while ago, I was actually very disappointed with it. Time Traveler's Wife was much better. :awesome:

 

 

And I'm reading Frankenstein. :|

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

and

Musicophilia - Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks

just re-read Matilde Asensi's Tierra Firme, considering to buy the second book of that short 'saga', although yet the idea of a female living as a male and disguising as so with other people under her charge and looking for revenge, in 1598 is a bit so :freak:

A novel written entirely as a string of e-mails between a calf that's run off and it's mother. It was either that or "Grandmother Is In the Freezer. Blip."
