| Reading any Good Books? Posted: 8/10/2005 10:33:48 PM | I'm reading John Irving's "Until I Find You". I just can't get into it. I've read the same chapter about 6 times....soooo....I switched to "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky, which is an old favorite of mine.
I was also re-reading "As You Like It" by WS.
The Da Vinci Code *rolls eyes* The only thing for which that book was good was that is spurred me to read as much as I could about all of the things and theories mentioned in it. Of course I have a weakness for dissecting Catholicism at every opportunity *damn those nuns in school*. | |

| Reading any Good Books? Posted: 8/12/2005 7:40:53 AM | @ Free,
I know what you mean. It's cool stuff but it does make the brain hurt. I had to get into a discussion with someone once about quantum physics (I'm SUCH a geek) and since I was out of my depth with it, I had to ask where to learn more. I was pointed to Hawking. The problem with inquisitiveness... | |

| Reading any Good Books? Posted: 8/12/2005 4:21:22 PM | I finished Harry Potter 6 last weekend and was pleased to find I enjoyed it much more than 5.
I'm currently reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman. | |

| Reading any Good Books? Posted: 8/12/2005 4:23:37 PM | No wonder the kid's cant find Harry potter, all you adult's are reading it and making them watch a DVD what the heck is with the world (Childhood reading up 27%, but taking the book away to read for yourself up 287%) | |

| Reading any Good Books? Posted: 8/16/2005 10:30:54 PM | The last book I read was Virtual Light by William Gibson. I preferred Neuromancer but Virtual Light was a good read.
I'm currently slowly reading I'm Ok You're Ok by Thomas A. Harris.
So far I like the book. It explains why people behave the way they do. It further supports my belief that everyone is nuts! ;-)
Seriously, it's a good book if you want to understand why you, and others behave the way they do.
