Ill have to keep that in mind as I progress. I am enjoying this book more than Hawking's for certain.

I guess I'll start up this month's thread. I'm still thirsting for astrophysics info, so I'm on to 'The Elegant Universe' by Brian Greene. Its less simple than Hawking's books, but yet still written for people who don't come from a mathematics background. I'm really beginning to understand...

I want to thank you Celt for helping me to avoid a stinker. A quick thumbthrough had me convinced as well.

Would it be cheating to repost request from the other thread here? If so, ignore this post and move along. If not, with 20 pages of requests in the other thread its hard not to feel as if my requests got overlooked (the alternative is that no one is interested *sniff*) . So here are the...

Now that's interesting. I just acquired a copy of that book myself. Haven't read it yet. Small world, huh?

Well, read THE book in a week. Yeah yeah, I know. I just don't read that fast or for that long of a stretch at a time. Usually. So I went to the library and realized I neither wanted Scifi or Fantasy at the moment and so hit the astrophysics section. I recently read "A Brief History of...

I have an empty shelf, and would be more than willing to give it all a home... :heh:

Very short, and totally unnecesary to enjoying the movies. Wasn't bad, but not all I had hoped for.

Maybe, but all I have to do is outrun the penguin.

You know, I've semi-lurking around here for years, and Crothian's post count is legend. I can't imagine the amount of time he spends just here posting things. I mean is it his job or something? Does someone pay him to do it? If so, How do I get that job? As far as the thread...

Well, first off, I dont read many noir books. Once in a while is ok, but it isnt my main diet. Secondly, no money, thats why they invented libraries :). And finally, while I am interested because of it's link to the movie, I've been reading reviews and am fully aware that it has little...

We pre-ordered, but cant pay extra for the shipping. So unless UPS is on the ball, ours will show up a little later than anyone else's copy. As far as past volumes go, we've pre-ordered, we've done the library wait list thing, and we've bought later on. The only thing that we wont do is get...

I agree wholeheartedly here. I did one thing to my copy that I never do to any of my books, which is highlighting passages. Some of the footnotes were so droll I had to mark them so I could come back to them (or use them as bait to lure other readers in). And the road in France sounds about...

Now that you mention it, I recall that feeling as well my first time through. Try to stick with it, and I think you'll be satisfied by the end (or like me, wish it hadn't ended yet). I don't recall exactly where the break point came and things started picking up, but I dont think its too far...

I just recommended Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell to my brother in law. I can't recommend it enough. Anyone who hasn't picked it up yet really should.

Well, in preparation for a new online game it looks like I'll be running, I'm re-reading all of my 2E books, and the Dark Sun Campaign setting. I've never read or run DS, and now I think I might be hooked. I'm actually looking forward to this one.

I imagine that later this week or early next, you'll see a lot of people putting this in their list. I should know...I'm waiting for my pre-order as well. As far as current reads go, I'm working on 'Duct Tape is Not Enough' by Red Green. I'm not his target audience yet, but I like his humour...

So I wrapped up Starship troopers (working ten hour days really cut into my reading time and slowed me down). Picked up the hobbit, but put it back down. I'm not ready to read it through a fourth time yet. So now I have 'The Butlerian Jihad.' What did everyone think of the Dune Prequels...

Oh, I forgot to mention the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, since I recently joined a Greyhawk campaign (And bizzarely enough, never actually played in straight GH before).

Starship Troopers, for like the 6th time. I love that book. It won't take me long, though. I need to find another light read for afterwards. Oh, and my library got a slew of Calvin and Hobbes collections, so I'm reading "Homocidal Psycho Jungle Cat" and "Scientific Progress Goes 'Boink'" :p
