For the past week I've been re-reading (i.e. skipping thru) The Urth of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe & Araminta Station by Jack Vance. Given up on starting anything new till after school's out... blessedly soon, tomorrow's the last day with kids, then after Monday I'm Freeeee! Things have been so crazy, I haven't even looked at the new Shonen Jump. =(

I have just finished Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

Then, I read War of the Flowers by Tad Williams. And also Good Omens.

I am now reading Sandman by Neil Gaiman.

"Equal Rites" by Terry Pratchett *yay!*

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And also Good Omens.

Terry Pratchett is full of so much goodness... he's like the Douglas Adams of sci-fantasy.

Right now, I'm working on The Story of O by Pauline Reage. Classic bondage erotica. It's really interesting, actually, the similarites between this and what I can remember of "Eyes Wide Shut" regarding the societal house. yum.

Imagica-Clive Barker.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

that is, quite possibly, my most FAVORITE clive barker book EVER. And considering he's my favorite author, that's saying a lot, cause I love all of his books, even the ones I wasn't thrilled by. I wanted to live that book so bad... I used it as imagination fodder for a long time in high school. Oh the horribly poetry and drawings it birthed. :tongue:

It is a thick book, I think it is available in a 2 volume paperback or single hardcover around $20

i have a single volume paperback version. no clue on the price though. havent gotten to it yet either.... :fear

EDIT: *digs* ummm...price tag says $16, but its been buried in 'The Pile' for some time...

today it was suggested to me that i should read Starship Troopers. ive heard this many times over the years from many people. the book is apparently much mcuh better than the movie. somehow i never got to it.

anyone have opinions on it?

Which volume are you on? That series had a huge influence on me... totally changed the way I thought about art, Story, & many other things.

Yes... There is like 3 sex scenes every chapter, and only like a 3rd into the book is there actually one that doesn't involve rape or a family member.

Unforgettable line from Ancient Evenings: "I was tired of the smell that rose from the buttocks of men weaker than myself..." What an incredible degenerate-fest!
