I'll finish dark tower II tonight (I have about 20 pages left).

It been more interesting than the first one, but I still don't know where this is going or if I care. Hopefully there are some answers in these last few pages.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman. If for no other reason than to get my roommate to stop telling me to read it.

Brubaker citing it as an influence for Cap: Reborn got me curious so I'm re-reading this for the first time in 17 years...

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

One of my favorite novels...

I started 'A Game of Thrones' by George R.R. Martin yesterday and this is normally not my thing but I am totally sucked in.

Valis by Philip K. Dick. Probably the most fucked-up book of his I've read. And that's saying something.

It's not a sci fi novel, either, which is great, because I generally loathe sci fi. It's about Dick having a mental collapse and chronicling what he believes is a spiritual invasion of his mind. He narrates the novel using several different personalities--the normal drug-addled Dick and the hyper-rational, spiritually invaded Dick who discusses Christian Gnosticism at great length. Fucked up in a very brilliant way. Can't recommend it enough.

You’re in for a treat if you haven’t read it yet. A very funny and imaginative book.

I just read the whole of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy: if anyone hasn't read these books, they really need to. Just the best fantasy trilogy I have ever read, like a determinist take on the Narnia books crossed with Paradise Lost. After I had finished The Amber Spyglass I actually couldn't pick up another book for a few days.

I've just begun The Good, The Bad and The Undead which is the second book in Kim Harrison's The Hollows series. I read the first one on Jude's recommendation, and I have to say I like this series. Not quite on a par with the Dresden Files, but pretty close.

Philip Pullman is rubbish! I am convinced no child actually likes his books, apart from the admittedly cool idea of a Daemon. They are forced upon kids by insufferable parents.

Amber Spyglass is one of the worst books I have ever read, it was nigh incomprehensible, smug and just bad.

You're wrong. Seriously, you're even more wrong than you usually are, which is a pretty stunning achievement.

I read the first 2 and last half of the Dark Materials books and....they were pretty boring to me. Lot's of neat ideas but they got so terribly boring I couldn't finish them.

The Hollows is something I'll need to check out. If it's even close to a bit as good as Dresden that's enough for me.

Last week I read Stephen Lawhead's Hood(reimagining of Robin Hood) and just finished his second book in the trilogy Scarlet.
