Considering that it's by Douglas Adams (and he's shown he's a decent writer in a few other books), I'm curious about that. What is it about?

I'm reading a collection of Robert Burns poems, and a science fiction book entitled "the House of the Scorpion." The latter is good, but creepy.

I've moved on from The Black Unicorn and into Wizard At Large by Terry Brooks, still within the Magic Kingdom for Sale: SOLD! series. It's so delish! *drools and flips to the next page in anticipation*

I have to read Kate Chopin's "The Awakening" for my English IV AP class. I just finished "Cry, the Beloved Country," and it was awesome!

Decent book, good series. It's been a while since I read it, but I do remember finding the entire outlook rather refreshing.

This has been a walk down memory lane for me, personally. The Magic Kingdom for Sale: SOLD! is the first fantasy series I ever read. Furthermore, Ben Holiday is the first book character I ever developed a crush on. *blushes a bit* I find it very funny that I will be marrying a strapping young man named Benjamin this September 12th. Heeheehee, weird, yes? :sweat:



[size=84]And I agree with you, uc - Terry Brooks' Magic Kingdom series is incredibly refreshing. It mixes modern-day stuff and the fantasy realm and has a lesson taught in each book. ^_^ Not too bloody, no gratuitous anything]

Right now I'm reading "The Screwtape Letters", by C.S. Lewis.
Wow. It's a classic, and yet every time it's read it's a complete shocker.
It's interesting how when you stop trying to be eloquent, the most helpful things that God has prepared for you and the people around you come out. :)

I'm working my way through Something Wicked This Way Comes, it's really strange, but very detailed, and very poetic. Bradbury is not only a good twilight zone script writer, but an awesome author.

I am also working on The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand. Though i don't really agree one hundred percent with her views, she does present an interesting story at the very least

I am reading Robin Hobb's Liveship series, and once I'm done with that I'm reading some Dragonlance (chronicles, I think, good D&D novels), some Raymond E. Feist (He's great, nice and easy to read, good story), some Magic:The Gathering (Ice Age cycle), and some Mercedes Lackey (Heralds of Valdemar, I dunno about that series - theres some homosexuality and lots of promiscuity, I might stop reading it), and of course once the next Robert Jordan and George RR Martin novels FINALLY come out I will drop everything to read them. Gee, all the books I listed are fantasy...huh, I guess I'm a one-genre reader.

"What is 5 x 7?"

I love that entire series.

At the moment I'm involved in a vicious debate about homosexuality, so my current reading reflects this:

"To Continue the Dialogue: Biblical Interpretation and Homosexuality" by Norman Kraus
"Caught in the Crossfire" by Geis and Messer
"Homosexuality: Biblical Interpretation and Moral Discernment" by Willard Swartley

The last is a very good discussion of the subject, though I'd appreciate more Greek.

Just finished Lee Strobel's "Case for Faith"

Half way though C.S. Lewis' "Mere Chrisitianity"

Starting Lee Strobel's "In the Mind of Unchurched Harry and Sally"

Almost started John Grisham's "The King of Torts" (^^;;;;; ) I'll have to look around to see whether I can borrow it.

Plan to read Dallas Willard's "The Divine Conspiracy."

Yeah summer's here!

Ah, yes, I had forgotten to mention "The Great Gatsby" which I am reading on the side. For the age it was written in, I am quite impressed by the author's actual humor and wit.

I'm reading the 2004-2005 Games Workshop Complete Catalog And Hobby Reference.

Thank kaji for that one...he mentioned Warhammer 40,000 in his bio, and now I'm hooked again. Not that that's a bad thing, but it is expensive. :P
