Read any good books lately?

I’m reading Daniel Pennac. My mom dumped all she had by him on me and now I’m hooked. It is in French and I have no idea if it ever was translated. It kinda far out and totally hilarious, mysteries all the way.

My mom also recently introduced me to Minette Walkers and Reginald Hill. Before immersing myself in literary French slang, I finished reading Arms and the women. Way awesome.

I don’t know if anyone here had seen the movie Immortal (ad vitam), but it is based on the director’s comic book trilogy, so I went back to read them (Trilogie Nikopol, by Enki Bilal). BTW, the movie is great, though some of the animation leaves to be desired.

So basically, I’m reading stuff outside my usual fantasy/sci-fi niche.

The thread you want is probably in the General Writing Discussion section of the forum.

I just finished reading a set of short stories called “Blood Lite”. It was edited by Kevin J. Anderson and features stories by Charlanin Harris, Jim Butcher, Sherrilyn Kenyon and Kelly Armstrong (to name a few). I think my favorite story was the Jim Butcher one about what happend to Harry Dresden on his day off. 😆

Before that the last book I read was “Swallowing Darkness” by Laurell K. Hamilton. More goodness in the world of faerie princess Merideth Gentry.

I’m reading the Dark Tower series again right now. Then I’ll probably go back and read the Clan of the Cave bear series again.
After that, I’ll read the Firekeeper series again.
I love rereading books after I haven’t read them in a long time.
I’d recommend the Firekeeper series to you all. It’s about a girl who was raised by intelligent wolves that are much larger than the normal wolves. Basically, there’s a race of bigger smarter animals.
It’s a cool series!

I picked up Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke at Barnes and Nobles yesterday 😀

I had finished Reserved for the Cat by Mercedes Lackey a couple days before

I need to head down to the library after this one and see if they’ve gotten anything new/interesting since I’ve been there last

I’m finishing up “Gulliver’s Travels” for a paper I’m writing to present at a conference this weekend. I’m almost done, so no worries.

I just picked up “The Audacity of Hope” by Barack Obama, and “Life After Death” by Deepak Chopra, so I will start one of those soon.

I need to finish “Tigerheart” by Peter David first though. I started it before I realized I should be starting “Gulliver” and had to put it aside to get my paper done. I’m chomping at the bit to finish it though.

Then I have the rest of the Harry Dresden series to finish, and I’m thinking about reading the Harry Potter series.

I’m just finishing up ‘The Navigator’ by Clive Kessler, then will start one a friend lent me… I think it’s ‘Twilight’? The book fair was at the middle school today and since I worked it this afternoon, I got some ‘free’ books, YAY! Sean picked up “Firestar’s Quest” from the Erin Hunter Warriors series and ‘Rangers Apprentice – The Burning Bridge’ part of a new series that looks pretty good. Ethan chose “Seekers, The Quest Begins” by Erin Hunter and “Bone, Rock Jaw Master of the Eastern Border” by Jeff Smith, and I got “The Pinhoe Egg” – Diana Wynne Jones, “The Fire Eternal” – Chris D’Lacey and the first book in the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, “Eight Grade Bites” by Heather Brewer. So I’m set for a bit…

Hey Kirin – What do you need from the Warrior series or by Erin Hunter? The book fair runs through tomorrow and the prices are pretty good – the Pendragon series are $2 bucks apiece 😯 Let me know and I’ll go look for you, if you’d like 😀
