I finished Watchmen recently.

If you haven't read it, you will never find another book like it. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend.

I think you're the last person in all of BRBU to read Watchmen.

never heard of it before the movie

I just downloaded a torrent of it last week, and I'm buying a real copy asap. Very very good, highly recommend. Can't see The Comedian without thinking of Trace though Wink

Douglas Adams esque humor written by Doctor House equals amazing!

And on that subject (apologies for all the shitty transitions Wink) Did you guys hear about Eoin Colifer writing a new Hitchhikers Guide book? First a new "Ian Fleming" book now this Sad

I started on Timequake by KV and I really like it.  He's such an interesting and weird writer.

This is amazing. Get it and read it. I don't care who you are or what you do. Read it.

Also still reading the Pratchett book "The Fifth Elephant", also started into "The Truth" also by Pratchett.

Kitchen Confidential was a Good Read.

I just finished "Issac's Storm," a historical recreation of the events and mis-steps by the US weather bureau on the way to the Hurricane of 1900 wiping Galveston, TX off the map. Also a good read, and more interesting of a story than I thought it would be.

Finally got started on Watership Down. Yeah, I know it's labeled as a childrens book, but it's definitely not a typical childrens book. Tongue

I made it through book 3 of Dune.  I can see duck's complaints.  There are a lot of things I skip over now.

Also anyone here a Christopher Moore fan?  He's got a new book out that looks good but I don't buy hardcovers.

I just started reading Slam by Nick Hornby and I am really liking it.  Also the main character is pretty much how I picture Dave.

The plot is teenager accidentally knocks up his GF and has to deal with it.  But it's a comedy.  So british Juno?

Bumped for some classical literacy motherfuckers.

Finished up Crime and Punishment and Wuthering Heights.

Crime and Punishment: Long as fuck, and a little boring in some parts, but I still liked it for the most part.

Wuthering Heights: Simultaneously boring and compelling, just like any good soap opera.  Filled with over dramatic characters, stupid actions, and a lot of moping and whining.  Would not read again.

Just read the first volume of The Walking Dead. It was pretty good. Not a big fan of the art.


Before that I read A Dirty Job. It was good. It kinda reminded me of Gaiman meets Pratchett, but not as good.

I'm almost done reading Freakanomics Revised and Expanded edition


Very interesting read if you know anything about economics, or would like to learn more about how economics works.

I'm reading Fool by Chris Moore now and I'm liking it.  His best is still Lamb.

I just read Oryx and Crake for English class. Good book but lacks emotion.
