Been on a Pratchett binge lately-- Guards! Guards!, Thief of Time, Night Watch. Will probably look at Water for Elephants very soon- do not know the author on that one....

Aaaahhh - water for elephants. I must dredge up my elephant pic for you Trey. Here is some real mental water for elephants, eh?

Fun pic, Ibis! Saw a fascinating program a few months ago about an elephant sanctuary here in TN- near a little town called Hohenwald.

Wow, elephant refuge in Tennessee? Life is amazing when you kick your heels together just so after leaving your front door and keeping your eyes peeled, ain't it???

Finished Feist's Prince of the Blood. It was a very quick read and while the characterization was excellent, I didn't seem to be much to the story. The conclusion felt very quick and rather clean as well. I would've like a bit more of a challenge to happen to the characters.

Hmm, hopefully The King's Buccaneer will prove to be a bit more eventful.

I dunno if any of you like him (didn't want to read through, what, 6 pages, around 50 to 60 posts) but right now I am reading through Issac Asimov's short stories, I found a few of his books while digging through my dad's collection... like father like son

Lately I've just been reading my old 3.0 D&D manuals... I really need to update to 3.5...

Well I finished with The King's Buccaneer, and I have to say I was much more pleased with it than Prince of the Blood. Felt more true to the Riftwar series than the previous installment. Nicholas, Harry, Amos, Ghuda, and Narik also proved to be more interesting than Borric and Erland were for me.

Ohwell, now onto a classic, Don Quixote! I remember hearing about the character in grade 6, but it must've been a small part we read, because the book is huge!

Which is good, it'll kill much time at work.

I love Isaac Asimov!

Daniel... what was it... did a paper on him in social studies last year in seventh grade... Daniel... Craig?

yay! i'm not alone

I just ordered the V for Vendetta graphic novel from my library so I'll be digging into that once it gets here. I just saw the movie so I thought I should read the book.

I probably should to but i'm fairly lazy

Supposedly I heard the movie doesn't do the comic justice, then again most don't. The only exception I can really say is Sin City, since that basically looks like they filmed the pages of the comic.

On the paperback front I am still somewhere in the middle of Hour Game, a serial murder mystery. I read it while waiting for Cain to pick me up at work.

But more of my time has been spent reading up over at FarFallen studios ... the game is now titled FarFallen too.

It's just amazing how much progress they've made so far and the concept art if just beautiful and there are now 24 members ... including modelers, musicians and programmers. Of those a good 20 are very active members of the team. It's really progressing nicely.

Perhaps some of you'd like to join? Always room for Chorrol people, especially since the idea for FarFallen was born here!!

I am attempting to finish Battle Royale. But I have seen the film, know how it ends and consequently lack any motivation to read the last 50 pages.

When I eventually get that one done, I am going to start on Lenin's State and Revolution, as well as hopefully finding the motivation to sit down and properly study The Communist Manifesto.

I finished V for Vendetta, it was ok I guess, I actually prefer the movie version for some reason. Anyway, I probably won't read any more graphic novels, they're just not my thing. I'm going to pick up Don Quixote tomorrow and give that a try.

Oh, and I also read 'The Color of Magic' by Terry Pratchett which I thought was brilliant.

I'm also reading Pratchet currently. That guy has some funny things. I just love that guy from the watch who has this laid back attitude and plays soccer with an army.

Also, I generally go here when I need to read anything at all. Elfwood This place is swarming with countless stories. Hooray, finally something to replace the library where I've read everything.

For school I am reading The Outsiders. Has anyone else read this?

Hehe, we didn't have to read it. It was on book on tape so we just "followed along". It's not a bad story though, a couple cheesy lines but other than that I liked it. The movie wasn't too bad either, had a bunch of people in it before they became famous.
