Well, I finished the book.

It's just as good if not better than the movie. No joke.

The Wheel of Time series: Eye of the World by Robert Jordon (R.I.P.)



If the books continue like this, I'm going to have to say this guy is better then Tolkien.

You'd better watch what you say, bucko.

Still plowing through Dracula, and I picked up Vector Prime, the first book in the New Jedi Order series.

I can't re-read everything I had in the past, but that's what plot summaries are for.

I know but I've read LotR and this and well... it's got ALOT more detail on everything...

Thank God my ex can't see this post... (We're still friends) she would kill me. O-o


If you like detailed worlds with lots of cool little ditty's this and that Wheel of Time is awesome. So far only on the first book but I'll keep an update on if it stays awesauce.

Went by a used book store and came out with The War of the Worlds by HG Wells, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, and King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard.

Mere Christianity

The Lord is My Shepard by...some person.

So far, we've got a church secretary living in the shadow of her famous movie star brother (whom her parents love more) who is unsatisfied with her quite life stumbling upon a body in the sanctuary, a rabbi who is inexplicably strong and fast coming to her "rescue" (really just stopped her from spazzing out over a dead body), and a dead guy named with the middle name of Jesus sitting on an ivory donkey.

Yep. Probably not a classic, but definitely interesting. XD

Though I wonder how the inevitable romance angle is going to work out over a psuedo Christian and a rabbi?

I just got the big Beatles Anthology book for only 35$. Tis quite interesting

That other book actually was interesting. I enjoyed it. But I finished it and started "Safe at Home" by Richard Doster.

A book about integrating baseball teams in the South. Mississippi, to be exact.

I started the book upon a recommendation, but I figured it'd be another whiny "this was so wrong so feel guilty" book. It's not been so far. It's still about baseball though, of which I''m not a huge fan.

The Great Hunt, the second book in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordon which will be finished by Brian Sanderson.

Finished Dracula and started Vector Prime, also picked up Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card.

I'm still reading Safe At Home.

Surprisingly, this doesn't make Southern people look bad. Or rather, it shows a more honest take, which makes them look terrible, but makes it clear that we're not all racist pigs. The first black person to play on a minor league team was, at first, cursed, spit upon, and whatever else. But as the team forged a bond with him, they grew to see him as another teammate, then a brother. They belted a ref across the face for making an unfair call, and stand up to the crowd. Good stuff.

It does make clear some stuff no one in the north knows, though. It does have rough language though.

Finished Safe At Home. The ending was...inevitable, though not necessarily predictable. Worth a read if you're at all interested in a more fair representation of the history of the old south.

I started Firebird again.

One of my favorite Sci-Fi series of all time. It not so much Sci-Fi as space fantasy/political intreegway. Good stuff. I need to get another copy off of Alibris. Mine is getting ragged. XD

Finished Vector Prime and started Speaker for the Dead.

I've been reading Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid, and Shelley's Frankenstein.

This place has a good library.
