I finished I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb-incredible book. I highly recommend it.
Now reading The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.

I'm just finishing the third book in the Dune trilogy, "Children of Dune" (the first two are "Dune" and "Dune Messiah"). Somewhat later in his life, Frank Herbert wrote another "episode" in the Dune series, "God Emperor of Dune". I'm kind of "Duned out" for a while, so I'll read that one after I finish some others ("David Copperfield" is next as I'm catching up on the classics).

Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. It's a DC Comics novel. Kinda super-hero comic and novel combo. A bizarre mix but actually brilliant fiction.

Cigargal 02-11-2009 10:17 AM

Re: What are you reading?
 
I've read part of Watchmen-need to dig it out and finish it. Falls into the Graphic Novel genre and if you like this one check out the Graphic Novel section at your local bookstore. There are tons of them.

I loved Bone but...Hmm, shoot me a PM when you finish it. I don't know how I feel about the last section. My friend firmly disagreed with me so I'm curious to see another opinion.

Well, actually I read the last gn first, not fully realizing it was a continuous story vs a stand alone. Now I'm going to start at the beginning. When I'm done we can have a chat. :tu

A really interesting book. It's been about a decade since I read it, but I remember really being taken in by it.

Protect and Defend by Vince Flynn. Actually, I finished that book at the end of January. I have not started to read a new book since I began participating on CA. I used to always have one or two books going at the same time. Now I find that the time I used to be reading, I am spending here.:ss I think I am going to have to work on my time management. This place has started to take over all my spare time. :r Going to have to make a new rule. Once summer comes and us northerners are back outside smoking.........No Computers out on the deck while smoking. :r That will be book time. :)

Just about done with The Light of Other Days by Stephen Baxter & Arthur C. Clarke. Great story, I've read a lot of Baxter's stuff except for those goofy looking Mammoth books.

I hate to admit it, but I'm reading one of the Stepanie Plum series right now, Eleven on Top by Janet Evanovich. they're sort of a mindless read, sort of a mystery, sort of humor books that I enjoy once in a while.....

Just started "FDR's Folly" by Jim Powell. Written in 2003, it a meticulously researched book on New Deal economic policies. It's a bit of a spooky read given our present situation.

I'm just finishing up "The Currents of Space" by Isaac Asimov... :tu

Next up is a mystery called "Smoking out a Killer" by Harry P. Lonsdale, which I had to inter-library loan from out of state. It's supposed to be about an ex-detective who now owns a cigar store...

We'll see it if it's any good shortly! :ss
