Christ Centered Gamer

Reading Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

It's pretty funny... but I'm not sure that it's exactly my style.

I just finished reading The Shack...for the third time.

I really love this book. I'd say it's life-impacting.

The author came to my university to speak. He's got a great testimony for Christ.

I haven't picked up a proper book in ages. Oh, well.

Right now, SAT Preparation. Yeah.

Put down that other book to pick up another one I got from the library...

Mario Puzo's The Last Don

I love Puzo.

I'm reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by Robert Louis Stevenson. A true classic, which clearly illustrates good and evil, and that evil is actually bad. Thank goodness for a book without an anti-hero.

It also comes packaged with The body Snatcher, which has nothing to do with aliens. ^_^ It's about taking the boundaries of science too far. I won't spoil anything else.

And Markhiem, a Christmas chiller, and the Bottle Imp. Highly recommend all of these stories, though they will most likely give you the willies.

23 Minutes in Hell-Freaky, but a really good book.

I went to the library today and picked up a few books. Unfortunately, the tragedy of such a trip is that we're only allowed to check out four books. It's a small library, so the books that I really wanted I couldn't find, but at least I think I have a few that will keep me occupied for a little while.

Eulalia! - Brian Jacques. Okay, so maybe Redwall is a little below me. But I haven't picked up a Redwall book in years, and seeing this is the only one besides High Rhulain that I haven't read, I thought I'd give it a shot.

Angels and Demons - Dan Brown. I have to admit, I thought The DaVinci Code was rather exciting, even though I didn't finish it. You have to ignore the vast generalizations and claims that he makes about Christianity and enjoy the ride. I'm hoping this book will not have the same kind of connotations, and I've heard it's a better book anyway.

Heaven's Wager - Ted Dekker. To me, this series always looked a little boring, but I wasn't going to leave the library with anything less than four books.

When Heaven Weeps - Ted Dekker.

I've had these books for less than a day, and I've already started reading three of them. I guess that's just the way I do it.

It's okay, that's the way I used to do it.

Well... on my vacation, I plowed through Dennis Lehane's Gone, Baby, Gone, which was an amazing book, and had a lot in it that the movie cut out. Par for course, right? Still, both were great in their own rights. After that, I picked up Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King, since I needed a book and it was the only one near me that looked moderately interesting. I went through 400 pages in two days, most of it on the plane and at the airport. So I'm working on finishing the next 200 pages up in the next few days here.

When Heaven weeps is a very good book. I've never finished Heavens Wager.

I'm re-reading the Firebird Trilogy. Again. It's not for lack of books, just that I love these three beyond all reason. And pretty much any Kathy Tyers I can get my hands on.

The Crucible for school.

-_-

The Crucible is amazing. So is Death of a Salesman.

Actually... Arthur Miller is one of my literary heroes. Dun not diss his work.

Clear And Present Danger

Starting to get back into reading some books. Found this one and The Hunt for Red October which was a pleasant surprise. I was starting to think my book collection was getting a bit bland.

Death of a Salesman was pretty good. Although I'm not sure I thought so when I read it, being the slacking education-lacking high schooler that I was.

What I am reading: The Dubliners, by James Joyce. Still. (It's a really short book, and I'm a fast reader. But I can only take so much mundane depression at one time. And if I read it on the metro on my way to work i fall asleep.)

What I wish I was reading: Reaper's Gale, Malazan Book of the Fallen 7. Very long, very complicated, very violent. Very untypical fantasy. I am pretty thoroughly sick of the normal swords and sorcery stuff. Although I may make an exception for Elric... been meaning to read about the Emperor of Melnibone for years, but I never get to it.


So many of you guys seem to be reading Stephen King... you're making me curious.

Check out Stephen King, then. I'd recommend The Shining as a good jumping off point.

Reading King's new paperback, Duma Key. It's good, so far. But what annoys me is that it took a year to hit paperback. I'm too cheap to buy hardcover.
