what are you reading right now ?

AHPR - thanks for all the updates on Shadows posts! It's a big help for those of us who keep forgetting to check.

 

Tales of the Bounty Hunters. The first one so far about IG-88 was kinda neat. Just finished the Han Solo trilogy by Crispin. I enjoyed those books quite a bit. Nice backstory to our favorite scruffy scoundrel. I think these stories would make good television, similar to George's Young Indy Jones adventures.

Haven't opened Tattooine Ghost yet, is it any good?

 

Refuge

EDIT: Or not Mom said she had picked up the book I had been talking about yesterday, but she had actually gotten Remnant And when I went back to Media PLay, they said it was pushed back to the 6th

 

I am finishing the return of the king. This is the first time I have ever read The Lord of The Rings and I love it!!1

 

Well, I'm trying to read about 4 at once. Not very successful.

To Kill a Mockingbird (school)
Joy Luck Club (school)
Book 9 of the Wheel of Time series
Destiny's Way

I've been on chapter two of Destiny's Way forever, and there really doesn't seem to be a point of going on. Would anyone be nice enough to post or pm a rough summary of what happens so I won't have to trudge through the rest of it? It just seems really boring compared to some of the other books. Then again, maybe I'm going insane!


*SB*

 

You're not alone on the DW thing. Personally, I wish that book had never happened I HATE DW!!!

My suggestion: get the audiobook version.

And I love "To Kill a Mockingbird"!!!! One of my favorite books and movies.

 

ugh, I hated mockingbird. had to read it in 8th grade....blah

Anyways, I am currently reading lots of reference material on Vietnam to make comparisons relating to my thesis with the war in iraq

 

All this pretentious reading makes my head hurt.

Mockingbird is a great read.

I'm reading Blackhawk Down.

 

I don't own a copy of DW, or else I'd have a great deal of fun making a mocking summary for you, SB. Hm, maybe I could see if the library copy is readily available... (I read it long enough ago that I think I'd forget major plot points without a reference.)

Zoo - Is Refuge coming out already?? For some reason I thought it wasn't till June or July or something...

 

Oooooh, Refuge is listed as coming out yesterday. But you say that it's now pushed back to the 6th? Drats.

 

It's out, we picked it up last night. We made a complaint to the book store, they didn't have it on display, again. She said they get so many it's hard to get them all out, bull!!!
They have release dates for a reason, you get more people to work on those days, come in early or stay late on Monday.

Too many books, Big baby!

 

Well, I guess I'll just wait for Media Play to get theirs... It's 25% off on new relase best sellers

 

aw crap, now Im 3 books behind?!!!

 

Still not as many as me
I'm reading Children of the Jedi, I think? Thought I read it but it's not familar at all.

 

It's out? Yeeeeeee! Must pick it up tomorrow.

AHPR - yep, you're falling behind...

 

ho hum. reading blackhawk down, still. Also picked up the frommers travel guide for the grand canyon. Theres a stimulating read, lol.

 

i need to finnish the krytos trap , then u can get to the new njo book .

oh yeah , i liked to kill a moking bird too

 

hmmm... i'm reading "Carbon War" by Jeremy Leggett, which is about his experiences over the past twenty years or so with the oil/gas industry and the rising international concerns of global warming... a surprisingly interesting read.

 

well, i finished the two towers. great book. now i need to go and get the next NJO book. but i also need to read Dune messiah, and ROTK. but NJO first, then i need to see where i stand. when school gets out next week im going to spend all that week after reading.

 

Just started Star Corps: Book One of the Legacy Trilogy by Ian Douglas.

 

Just finished Tales of the Bounty Hunters, and now I'm half way through Shadows of the Empire. It's fairly interesting so far, although I don't agree with a lot of Vader's characterization. Must be a Sith thing...

 

Star Wars Porn!!!! THat book has the most elicit scenes in all of the SW Literature.

I just realized that other day that I had not read Fried Green Tomoatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe in almost a year, sooooooo. I started it yesterday, plus I'm finishing up Wraith Squadron

 

There's a SW porn book? [face_shocked] Like, published? Fanfic, sure, but... a real book?[face_shocked]

I reread a number of the Wraith Squadron books while I was sick last week, reminding me of some fun quotes for my sig. I also finally picked up Starfighters of Adumar, finishing out the X-Wing series. I'd heard it was odd, but hey, I figured it had two things going for it: Aaron Allston and Wes Janson. How can you go wrong with those two? Overall, pretty good... though I am scarred by some of the mental images. Rogues in woman's clothing... *twitch*

More recently, I picked up Deryni Tales, a book of short stories set in Katharine Kurtz's Deryni world. It's worth noting that these are actually fanfiction stories, acknowledged as such and encouraged by Kurtz. There was also one short story by Katherine at the end, serving as a teaser for her next trilogy.

 

Hmm...currently reading "Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos"...it's a story collection from H.P. Lovecraft and other Mythos writers.

I didn't know there was a SW porn...LOL. If you ever get the chance, and want to fill your head with bad visions and end up feeling icky enough to have to take a shower afterwards, you can try to find Starball Z -- it's a sort of really messed up SW/Dragonball Z hentai crossover with quite possibly the WORST animation and drawings I've ever seen.

And if you can make it thru the show, you can see why George Lucas took the company that made it and sued them into the Dark Ages.

 

Shadows of the Empire has some scenes in it that are as close to the Blue LIght district as they could get w/o "actually" stepping over the line... Though I would not let my niece and nephew read that one yet (at least until they 13)

Re-Reading Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (for the umpteenth time)

The Genocidal Mentality: Nazi Holocaust and Nuclear Threat (a little light reading )
