American Gods.

Neil Gaiman's pretty amazing. I still think he's a better comic writer - but finally getting to one of my idol's novels is very interesting, enlightening, and the work itself has been very unexpected.

 

^ It's quite a darkish book hey? Not dark as in evil but just more gloomy. If it were made into a movie, I'd expect not much talking.

 

Cheese Primer by Stephens Jenkins

 

The 12 Layers Of DNA - by Kryon

 

I just read a slew of books.

 

Trying to finish 'You are God: Get Over It!' by Story Waters. I pulled 'A Course In Miracles' off the shelf last night. Bought it years ago, but never cracked it open. After meditation last night, it seemed to be calling to me, so we'll see if it's next on my list.

 

I just started a book that Dean Koontz actually sent me after I mailed him a (very good ) letter. It is:

a big little life

A Memoir of a joyful Dog....in smaller letters

This is the nicest thing to happen to me in quite some time! :2thumbsup:

 

I am reading A Game of Thrones. I hope to catch up with the TV series.

 

"Real-Time World".A collection of science fiction stories by Christopher Priest that strangely hold metaphors for today's world.It's interesting to see how imagineers from the 60's and 70's saw the future and how thing really are today.

 

Heat Lightening by John Sandford.

 

given The Satanic Verses another chance, had got to page 17 gave up but now in a new frame of mind so started again..

 

^The satanic Verses is brilliant! It seems hard at the beginning but gets easier pretty soon.I urge you to persist with it.

 

I was thinking of trying it. So I take it you recommend it?

 

I would highly recommend it McFuddy.

Ishmael Daniel Quinn

 

A rough guide to: Surviving the end of the World

A great read. Controversial conspiracy meets number crunching reassurance. Great contrast and perspective. A fresh look at an issue that has been beaten half to death.
