Zardoz Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I tend to flop around reading several books at once. Right now I'm only down to three things:The Three Musketeers by Alexandre DumasDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K DickAnd a complete collection of H.P. Lovecraft for those moments when I just want a short story and/or weird dreams Quote Questing!Current / 1 Link to comment

Twilight Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 I just started Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. I haven't read it before and am a little uncertain if I'm in the right brain space for something funny right now. I missed a Dixit clue on Saturday because I hadn't read it yet, so I figured now's as good a time as any, since I just finished The Curse Workers trilogy by Holly Black. 1 Quote Link to comment

EvillePanda Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Please don't take this the wrong way but I'm stunned there are still people discovering American Gods. It was such a good read, I figured everyone had gotten to it already. The Anansi Boys is a sort of sequel so check that out if you want more when you're done. 1 Quote "I must not fear.

It was such a good read, I figured everyone had gotten to it already. The Anansi Boys is a sort of sequel so check that out if you want more when you're done. I read it for the first time last year when the eBook was on sale for $0.99. I figured what the hell - I'd been planning on getting it from the library but at that price, I may as well buy my own "copy". I've been busy. There are a lot of books/movies/TV shows that I haven't seen yet that people are stunned by. Same! I've read lots of books, and seen plenty of movies and TV shows, but there are some gaps that people find surprising. Still not sold on Good Omens. I'll keep reading and hopefully it catches me soon.

EvillePanda Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Good Omens is very silly. To give you an idea, William Shatner was cast in the horridly failed movie as a cruise ship captain. Neil Gaimen wanted Peter Sellers to play both angels. Never mind the fact that Sellers was dead at the time. Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer.

obsessedfan Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm on Book Four of Jim Butcher's Codex Alera, Captain's Fury. Just started this morning. No, I have not read the Dresden Files. Yes, I plan on it. No, it won't be soon. I've put a ban on buying any new books. I first have to read a lot of what I already have (4 bookshelves worth). I need to cut down on books since I'll be moving next year. I'm also listening to the Game of Thrones audio during my lunch break at work. I'm just about at the end.
