What are you reading now, or what do you recommend?
Posted: Jan 09, 2009 @ 10:47PM 1267 replies
I've seen threads about what we listen to and what movies we watch, but as intelligent of an audience as we have here, I'm guessing the vast majority of us read treeware books too. So how about it? What have you read dozens of times? Why? What was horrid and you threw across the room in disgust? What are you reading now? Besides Contagious. That's a DUH.

I have read the first Martin book in that cycle. I am hoping he finishes the lastest book. It has been years he has been working on it. Dark Tower is epic. I am a huge King fan. Especially his early stuff.

Amazon just sent me an email about GRRM's A Dance with Dragons saying it has a release date of Sept 19, 2009.  I also recently received an advanced reader copy of GRRM's Busted Flush: A Wild Cards Novel from the publisher.  Just started it :)

Anytime I want to know about a book I just look at Gmork's review on Good Reads!!!  Saves me lots of distresss, time and money on bad books!!!!  But don't anyone tell Gmork that! Wink

 So I'm still in the 50's right now. Stranger is in the 60's and Evil is in the 80's if I recall correctly. To Sail Beyond the Sunset and The Number of the Beast are two more that I recall liking a lot, but it's been years since I read the later books in his career so this is all based on older impressions.

Please help to ensure that Dollhouse gets a full first season!! You can buy it on iTunes, watch it on Hulu, or watch it Friday nights 9/8C on Fox. Let's make sure Joss doesn't get fucked by Fox again!

The premise is so unique and quite an extraordinary adventure.  And I am sure that island exists! (well, maybe my imagination really *wants* it to exist)

I really like the TV movies with Tom Selleck. I wish they would make a regular series out of them.
