What did you think of it? I've got that one + read a few others but I can't make up my mind about it. Sometimes I like it then when I re-read it I dont. I prefer another one I read although at this precise moment I can't remember the name of it!

I preferred Dance Dance Dance to Norwegian Wood, but I still really enjoyed both. Dance Dance Dance was more surreal, and Norwegian Wood kind of dwelled on the human condition more. someone pointed out the recurring theme in all his books about chasing after a lost female character, and how the male character is always some kind of unfeeling weakling underneath it all. it kind of hampers my enjoyment now I think about it. still, good books.

Just started reading the Harry Potter books again. (3rd time round?!) I'm half way through 'The Chamber of Secrets'. I've not yet read '...and the Goblet of Fire' hence why I'm reading them all again.

Brilliant

I'm reading 'The Fog' by James Herbert just now. I'm quite enjoying it so far

Oh and I would recommend K-PAX to anyone who has not had the chance to read it yet as it was a really good book and I found it very well written

The Cather In The Rye - J.D Salinger

fucking loving it!

xglitter-me-upx · 13th January 2005, 04:55 PM

The Chronicles Of Narnia, I'm up to the 6th book, but I started reading a book called Curvy Lovebox which is meant to make Trainspotting look like Noddy's Tea Party.
It's good so far, but its written in London dialect, which is sometimes hard to grasp the first time you read it.

Recently (since last time Ive posted here) Ive read (with UGS referrer links to amazon)

Tariq Ali - Bush In Babylon

Fantastic history of the colonisation of Iraq

Lord Of the Rings

Re-re-re-reading these (lost count) currently on book 2. Also read recently Farmer Giles Of Ham which was a fun kiddies book

After that I have sitting waiting The Silmarillion , Smith Of Wootton Major which also has 2 other stories books in it (the early version fo a three book in one set I have) and Sauron defeated

damn me for gutting my room and finding lots of fantasy stuff I have

John Maclean by Nan Milton

life story of John Maclean through the eyes of his daughter.

Devils Chaplain by Richard Dawkins which is a collection of short stories.

Meme Machine by Susan blackmore which is an introduction to the theory of Memetics.

My pile of "to read" books is still huge but on my most current to do list are:

Two Towers for bedtime reading

Extended Phenotype Richard Dawkins best work according to Dawkins. Had it for a while and found his other stuff easier to plough through.

Accountable to None: Tory nationalisation of Britain picked up for 2.50 in Oxfam. It was written 10 years ago before PFI was really about so should be interesting to see what predictions were made.
