Ulysses was brilliantly written and up until finally bothering to read Dubliners had me convinced Joyce was some sort of demigod and then I was certain. I'm still impressed he managed to structure it after a writing as amazing as The Odyssey without it, you know, sucking. I'm not entirely sure of the title as I don't have it on me at the moment, but it's something completely generic like "The Vikings." It's not too bad I suppose, but it's written far too much like a text-book for my liking. I will say it's definitely one of the more positive reading experiences I've received from following suggestions from friends, the last one involved Danielle Steel, I'm sure you can imagine. |

Currently going through a biography of Johnny Cash. Just started it, so I can't really talk too much about it... |

When you finish that Nathan, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I finished reading it a month or two ago and granted I haven't exactly read a library in my life, it is the greatest book I've happened to ever read. I got a collection of Arthur C. Clarke short stories recently and went straight for The Sentinel, the short that sparked the lightbulb in Kubricks head for A Space Oddysey. Great little read. Bram Stoker's Dracula has now been cast aside until Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds is done. I love his space opera worlds and adventures. |

Just finishing off The Favourite Game by Leonard Cohen. As far as modernist novels go, I prefer it to As I Lay Dying by a huge margin. |

Just finished The Stranger by Albert Camus. Would anyone be interested in doing a sort of book club? We all have a month to read the same book, and then discuss it at the end. |

Just finished The Godfather by Mario Puzo. Not as amazing as the movie, but a very good book anyways. I'm about to start Darkly Dreaming Dexter. And I would still love for AWT to start up the book club idea that OfLegend had. |

Currently reading I am legend by Richard Matheson. The book and the movie are quite a like in some ways but in others are way different, well worth the read if you like the movie or just want a good book to read. |

Yeah, the book club needs to happen. The Godfather is so much better as a movie. It's incredible. |

The script from Jaws. The devotion with which I read and analyze this migh be a good early barometer of how long my latest megalomaniac project lasts. |

120 Days of Sodom Marquis de Sade I'm so thoroughly disgusted, but not as much with the content as I am with myself for continuing to read the thing. It's not that I was unaware of the subject matter prior to starting it, obviously everyone knows at least a bit concerning the man. It's more that I had dismissed most of the criticism as being exaggerated by the more conservative, but it does seem the philosophical vs. pornographic argument is fair enough, hopefully the former is easier to defend in some of his other works, though I have no intention of finding out for myself. I fully intend to start working my way through Sinclair Lewis' work, as one too many people have let it slip that he's the greatest American author, ever. Anyway, Babbitt is first up, I do hope it lives up to the hype. A book club would be interesting and I would be up to joining in if only on a book by book basis. I've taken in very little contemporary fiction that isn't accompanied by illustrations so it could be interesting. |

I'd do book club. Finished Mary Doria Russell's The Sparrow a couple of nights back. Phenomenal science fiction, that will be a hard one to ever forget. Started Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine. |

With the blue name comes great responsibility that you're bound to abuse once and then forget you're even a mod. |
