This is a forum for intelligent people aint it! Well I'm reading Moby Dick at the mo, really slowly because of the uni work I have to do. Its good though I'm enjoying it. I do have alot more new books from Christmas waiting to be read, all novels. I don't read true life stuff, apart from autobiographies written in a sort of story way. So after Moby Dick I shall be reading "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer.

I've read that about 3 times he's my favourite author!! Don't you just hate Enoch Cain he is the most evil fictional character ever, I just love to hate him.

?its "From the Corner of his Eye" isn't it
 
I am currently reading 'Dead Souls' by Nikolai Gogol and also a selection of short stories by Anton Chekhov, specifically 'A Dreary Story'. Gogol's poetry is quite amazing at times.
 
Day of the Dead - John Creed
Wilderness - Jim Morrison (not impressed as I thought I would be)

Jim Morrison wrote a book?

Is he, in fact, the Lizard King? Can he do anything?

Jim Morrison - Wilderness: The Lost Writings of Jim Morrison to be exact.

His dissociation made most of it impossible to understand without his mind. However, I do not think it was intended to be public.

Possibly it is coded in vMorrison 1.0 :confused:

(mostly poetry, btw)
 
"Rites and symbols of initiation. The mysteries of birth and rebirth" by Mircea Eliade

A very interesting book with much "food for thought"! Written about initiation rites and symbology of what we call primitive tribes. Can't put it down! Gives great insight into human societies.
 
Next, by Michael Crichton. Interesting book about the dangers of bio-tech and the inadequacies of our legal system when it comes to dealing with such issues.

I just finished Philip K. Dick's "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", couldn't put it down! I recommend it to anyone who likes Sci-Fi as well breaking down the hidden meanings behind the genre itself and what Dick is implying.
Starting to read: Neuromancer by William Gibson. Has anyone read this book? Feedback would be great. I am taking a class; Social Functions of Science Fiction.
 
King, Stephen. Lisey's Story.

This is a difficult book. It was a gift, so I'm determined to read it. But I haven't appreciated Mr. King's work for years. And this one has done little to increase my esteem. It's actually a complicated story; I admit I still adore "The Body", and recall fondly a few of his short stories.

But, yeah. This one. It better get good. And fast.
 
There is a new book released it is called "Mastering Time Travel:Voyages Through Time" by Sapphire on Feb 09, 2007 (in lulu.com)

This book will teach you how to do time-travel yourself, and why it is possible, and a comprehensive book all about time travel.
 
Finished "Flatter Land", would tell you who wrote it, but already loaned it to a friend. Not sure what to start next.
