What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

Poor you. I sympathize.


Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...actually I'm at The Restaurant at the End of the Universe but I'm reading the whole "trilogy."

I heard, throughout most of my growing up years, how much my dad loved it, but whenever I'd ask if I could read it, he could never give me a definitive yes or no, so now that I'm 18 and out "on my own" I figured I might as well. :)

TRYing to finish Mostly Harmless (the last hitchhiker book). It's just that I never have time and when the story keeps on being interrupted it totally loses its continuity.

This is one of the reasons I'm much more fond of the revised radio series ending, really, taken as the five-part trilogy rather than the three-part trilogy...

The War of the Worlds, mostly in an attempt to prepare for NaNoWriMo. Yes. There's a complicated string of logic behind that.
"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

Home Song by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer. It's the second book in their Cape Light series. I am really enjoying it.

I just finished reading Brisingr!!! It was totally amazing! Better than Eragon and Eldest, I thought (although Eldest was quite good).
