I'm jealous of Oro's books. -_-

First one...meh.
Really enjoyed the second.
Never heard of the third.
Really want to read the fourth.
And the fifth is one of my favorites.

Well I have to read The Great Gatsby for school, but I chose the other ones which are amazing, except for Semper Human. It takes cracks at Christianity and religion, and just too.. I dunno. The author puts so much detail into the machines, weapons, etc.. I can't help but skip past parts. I think I'm going to go read the previous novels. My dad told me they're a lot better.

The Bourne Supremacy
The first one was good; so much different than the movie!
This one should be interesting...

Finished Hood, and enjoyed it. I started on a book that has a premise similar to Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and it's pretty good so far. Nice characters, plenty of fisticuffs, and one guy has already had his kneecap blown off. It's called False Witness, by Randy Singer.

Finished The Shining.
It was great, but I doubt I will read it again because of the ridiculous
I hope at some point today to get "The best of H.P. Lovecraft: Bloodcurdling tales of Horror and the Macabre" (Now who could have written this?

) and "The Books of Blood volumes 1-3" by Clive Barker.

I just picked up Star Wars Legacy. My brother got it from the library... had the first three volumes, so I picked them up.
And they are good on every level. Just finished the first volume/chapter. Gotta bust out the second now.
I gotta get back to non-graphic novels at some point (not before I make the jump to Florida, though), but I'm not complaining right now.
It's a great time to love comic books.

The Green and the Gray by Timothy Zahn. I have all kinds of love for Timothy Zahn, though this is the first time I've read anything of his that's non-Star Wars (Thrawn Trilogy ftw). It's by far not his best work, but it's still very solid sci-fi. Stereotypical, poorly drawn characters matched with awesome plot makes a decent book in my mind. THOUGH IT COULD GET MUCH BETTER. I'm a little over halfway through it...so...we'll see.

Still reading through the Lovecraft collection.
Just finished "The Dunwich Horror"
That was......oddly cool.
I just wish there was more detail on the Necronomicon.

Just finished The Green and the Grey tonight.
It was really, really "meh." Boring, boring characters (though the detective was pretty good). Almost no humor throughout, despite several blatant, failing attempts at humor. Visibly constructed dialogue that was oftentimes far from natural. 25+ descriptions of someone's lip twitching. As if that's supposed to mean something.
Good plot. That's all this book had going for it.
But really...meh.
