The Known World by Edward P. Jones

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).

Arsenals of Folly: The Making of the Nuclear Arms Race by Richard Rhodes. It's a continuation of two other books of history of the development and proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Not so romantic for me. Killer Babes (a true crime paperback)

Proof Positive by Philip Margolin

The Baron in the Trees, Italo Calvino. Great read so far.

"The Yankee Years"
Tom Verducci co-authored by Joe Torre

Finished Agatha and started a book recommended early on in this thread. Jar City by Arnaldur Indridason

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, 11:17 AM

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.

The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony.... just got it, looking forward to starting it.

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.

How to restore a muscle car.

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.

Finished Hollywood Station by Joseph Wambaugh, now I'm working on Hollywood Crows

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