Read any good books lately?


Who is your favorite author?


I will get the ball rolling with who keeps my lips movin'.


 


My favorite author is Pat Conroy


 


A book I am reading right now called :


"The Shadow of the Wind"  by Carlos Ruiz Zafon... its about a secret book guild in Spain after WWII.  Kind of a historical mystery.


 


Would anybody be interested in a book club type thing?

Dylan,


Can we start the club with something simple, like maybe a pop-up book?


Oooooooh, ooooooooooooooh, ooooooooooooh, I got one...


How about "THE MONSTER AT THE END OF THIS BOOK" by the Cookie Monster!  I LOOOOOOOOVE THAT ONE!

Count me in.  I need to get back the the simple pleasures.  As far as what to read I'm open to about anything.

I'm about to go out and get Richard Russo's Straight Man. That's next on my reading list if anyone's interested in reading that.

I've been reading graphic novels more lately.  I got hooked on Neil Gaiman's Sandman series.  I did just read Restuarant at the End of the Universe (because I just saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy but couldn't find my copy of the book, so I went ahead a skipped to book 2.  I've read them all many times before anyway.)  I'd be up for a book club.

My dad loves this author for his humor, and my dad is pretty picky about what makes him laugh, so I'll go on a book reference from him no matter what it's about.

Straight Man

I'd be in for a book club, if you all will be patient with me!  I'm one of those who starts a pile of books and there all 1/2 done.  I did finish "The DaVinci Code" not too long ago.  Good writing, even if loose on the facts.


Hey MZ!  I'm almost done with re-reading "Watchmen".  They are working on a movie finally!

Sounds good!  I'd be up for that!  But it looks like we might have a problem finding it in print?

It would require some of our more squeemish members to go in to the dark underbelly of the Geek matrix, A COMIC BOOK SHOP!  AVERT YOUR EYES!


I think TrekFreak would be cool with it.

I'm in.  I love reading.  my favorite author is Anne Rice because i've read all her books and many of them multiple times.  I dont' know if she would be my favorite if i had read enough other people though.  I've read most Steinbeck.  I'm reading the Harry Potter books right now.  Finally broke down and they are pretty good.  I used to read true crime stuff, but i REALLY don't like it anymore.  and i can't read scary stuff either--ghosts are ok, but truly scary stuff like serial killers is a no no.  like stuff that could really happen, you know?  but i love novels that are based on history, that's always good.  so ya,  you all pick something.  then we read it and talk about it here right?  sounds fun....

I want to read those hitch hikers books that Mz's reading.  Those seem cool for the geeks here.  I've heard about them from friends and stuff.

I read the first chapter to the Russo book Zim suggested.  She left a link if anyone is interested?  That might be a fun read.  It seems there is an interest in a book club.  Very cool.  Any thoughts?

They are very funny, but very British.  You have too like Monty Python style humor, or be open to giving it a try.  They are a quick read, however, which could be good.
