What Are You Reading? (March 2005)

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Nobody's started this yet? Guess it's up to me then.

The Necronomicon edited by Robert M. Price-stories & essays about the Necronomicon, including works by Wellman, Pohl, Silverberg, deCamp, Long, Carter, Lovecraft, and Price (among others)

Rereading Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing

That's about it right now. Slow start to the month.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Just finished the Revenge of the Sith lead in novel, Labyrinth of Evil. Very, very good book...surprised me, as I haven't liked the prequel novels that much. May needs to get here...

Trying to decide what to read next. Either going to go through my Pratchett books again or post-Return of the Jedi books.

 

[Wombat]

Chewing my way through the O'Brian books still -- on Nutmeg of Cosolation (#13)at the moment.

At this rate I should be through with the series in April

 

[Palaner]

I'm trying to get through The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand by April. They have an essay contest that I'd like to get in.

 

[Shag]

Just finished The Mammoth Book of Roman Whodunits and now about a 3rd of the way through The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane.

 

[jaerdaph]

Almost done with White House Horrors, (one of those paperback short story collections edited by Martin H. Greenberg) and moving on to Jack the Ripper (another of those paperback short story collections edited by Martin H. Greenberg).

 

[jonesy]

Travelling through the Hitchhikers Guide trilogy once again.

Also reading The Virtual Community by Howard Rheingold, and Being Digital by Nicholas Negroponte

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Almost done with White House Horrors, (one of those paperback short story collections edited by Martin H. Greenberg) and moving on to Jack the Ripper (another of those paperback short story collections edited by Martin H. Greenberg).

You know, I don't think there is another editor out there who has edited anywhere near the number of collections MHG has. It's amazing the number of books he puts out each year. Nice guy, too. I've met him on multiple occasions.

 

[Nifft]

Just finished Tad Williams' City of Golden Shadow, now in the middle of Malcolm Gladwell's Blink.

[Hand of Evil]

Warcraft: War of the Ancients - I am a big fan of Richard Knaak but I am having a hard time getting into this book at this time.
