What are you reading? What was the last book you enjoyed?

Doing my annual reading of Lord of the Rings. Though technically I never finished last year's annual reading, so I'm doing that before I can do this year's. Mid-way through Two Towers, if anyone's that interested.

I think I'll read The Stand next...

Anybody? anybody? I seem to remember seeing parts of the movie around twenty years ago, but not the whole thing. Any opinions on it?

Classic book. Some people find the slang he uses (there's a dictionary in the back) a little hard to grasp at first, but once you get used to it, it's no problem and it reads pretty fast.

It did take me a bit to translate the dialogue, learning a new language. But I think I'm getting used to it.
 
Eight by Katherine Neville :clap
The search for the montglane service and the power it possessed.
It is 2 story?s in two different time (France 1700 during the france revolution, NY 1970). clearly there is some connection between the two story?s (beside the montglane service) that I am anxious to uncover.


Holy Blood, Holy Grail
One of dan brown research book for the da vinci code.
It is research base on parchments found in france that leads to the Knights Templar, the Prieure, the crucifixion, and the Holy Grail.
I occasionally read this book I have finished chapter 3 a month ago and did not return to the book since then.
 
Second book in the Sword Dancer series by Jennifer Robeson

Always something by Edgar Allen Poe.

Finished A Clockwork Orange. Glad it had the extra chapter in the end where Alex grows up.

Oscar Wilde's Complete Short Fiction

i've been reading this every now and then. it's got really great stories to read to children at bedtime especially 'the happy prince' and 'the nightingale and the rose.'
 
Started another SW Novel yesterday... Star Wars: The Cestus Deception by Steven Barnes... good stuff so far.

Just read R is for Riccochet by Sue Grafton. Story moved a lot quicker than usual for her. Nice change.
 
A Storm Of Swords by George R.R. Martin.
(Book Three of the Song of Ice and Fire Series.)
DAMN GOOD BOOKS
 
Finished Wizard and Glass, so now I'll have to go buy Song of Susannah and finish off the series. In the meantime I started Hocus Pocus by Vonnegut.
 
I just finished the Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. It's the third book of his Dark Materials series (book 1 - The Golden Compass, book 2 - The Subtle Knife). I got these on the recommendation of an LGKer in one of the Harry Potter threads. Anyone who enjoys the Harry Potter books might like this series as well. I like the Harry Potter books much better, but the Pullman books were a nice read and gave me a little bit of a children's fantasy fix while waiting for the new Potter book to come out. Check these out!

Now that I finished this series, I will start reading Angels & Demons, finally, by Dan Brown.
