Biocentrism - Robert Lanza; Bob Berman

Dark Knight Returns.

It's, uh, bad.

"Always Looking Up" by Michael J Fox. Getting ready to read "Lucky Man" by the same author. "Lucky Man" was his first book. I didn't realize that until I started his second book.

[EDIT= It's not worth it]

Terra Jul 21st, 2009 10:24 PM

"Always Lookin Up" is a bit slow but "Lucky Man" is reading pretty well.

stevetothepast Jul 22nd, 2009 12:26 PM

I'm finally reading the watchmen, didn't see the movie yet. I know, trendy right?

Krythor Jul 22nd, 2009 06:09 PM

You don't need to lose any sleep over it.

By Cory Doctorow!

I have a bunch of Sandman, Ghost Rider, Deadpool, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre comics to read. That should take quite a while.

As for standard non-pretty-picture books, I have about a quarter of The Color of Magic left to read, almost the entirety of The Illuminatus! Trilogy to read, then after that it's Atlas Shrugged.

the title is spelt colour g*d damn it

Phoenix Gamma Jul 30th, 2009 08:40 PM

I'm starting to read a lot of Deadpool now. He's pretty entertaining, especially for someone who's not really into superheroes.

Also reading Maus I and II for my directed study next semester. I don't like the art that much, but the story's still good.

Zomboid Aug 4th, 2009 01:22 PM

I'm pretty much always reading comic books, so I won't even mention those :( (but if I did, I'd mention how Sinister Spider-Man and the Hawkeye [Bullseye] limited series are great. So is Hellboy, as always.)

I bought "The Last Walk" on Saturday and finished it in the morning yesterday. It's one of the "Bachman Books," so it's essentially a King story, but the writing style and tone are different enough that it doesn't read like a cheap knock-off. Plus, I love stories set in a dystopia.

executioneer Aug 4th, 2009 01:28 PM

is the last walk like a sequel to the long walk

Zomboid Aug 4th, 2009 04:00 PM

I AM STUPID AND GOT THE TITLE WRONG.

Yeah, it's the Long Walk. I don't think you could do a sequel to that. There's supposed to be a movie at some point though.

RaNkeri Aug 6th, 2009 02:26 PM

Batman: The Long Halloween

I read it couple of years ago and loved it so much that this time I bought it as trade paperback

Sam Aug 9th, 2009 03:47 PM

Just started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies last night. :eek

Aimless Aug 9th, 2009 10:19 PM

I'm re-reading Melmoth the Wanderer by Charles Maturin because the first time I sped through it.

stevetothepast Aug 13th, 2009 04:30 PM

I'm reading a god damn fortune cookie.

10,000 Volt Ghost Aug 15th, 2009 10:01 AM

Let me know how that is. I read a synopsis of it a few months ago and it sounded amazing. Read the synopsis right after watching Fido.

Zhukov Aug 15th, 2009 12:55 PM

My mother is a big Jane Austin fan, so I bought her Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but she doesn't like the look fo it, so I will steal it back later on. Also got her The Time Traveller's Wife, which I have heard both good and bad reviews of.

I am still reading War and Peace, and have just started Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks, which is part of the Culture series.
