Alot of junkmail, but also alot of 'When are you comming back to Bournemouth?' emails, too!  That's where I come from y'see!

I've finished a while ago, but just started to read it again: Dan Brown - The DaVinci Code.

Absolutely briljant. 

[Appelmoes??]

I saw a nice docu about that book. Seems like he claims to tell facts and stuff, but when experts take a look at it, it doesn't stand (Which doesn't mean I'm saying it's a bad book, can't comment on that since I haven't read it )

[keyboardistmatt]

Now reading the Korg Prophecy Parameter guide.

Oh my goodness...

There is a purpose to it though, I'm not doing it for fun!

[maddox]

Just began reading the new book of Robert Ludlum and Patrick Larking, called "The Moscow Vector".

Pretty interesting and the main character, John Smith, is having a hard time in the beginning.

[Appelmoes??]

Started in the Wheel of Time books again

[funkster]

In the middle of The eagle has landed by Jack Higgins

Nochnoi Dozor, Sergei Lukianenko, very cool.

[johninblack]

A Game Of Thrones - George RR Martin.

[CygnusX1]

Nearly finished Whit by Iain Banks, which means I'll have read all of his fiction novels. Now just have to plough through the sci-fi ones I haven't read.

[Peter]

After Sergei Lukianenko, I turned to a "new" German writer, called Christoph Marzi and bought his much praised "Lycidas" and "Lilith". I read the first, was very eager to find out the end, found it to be rather cheesy, read a quarter of the second book and decided that I'm done with this guy now.

Now I'm reading Anne Bishop's "Black Jewels" trilogy, second book at the moment. Like it a lot.

[Appelmoes??]

Since I had to wait for 2 months for the next Wheel of Time book, I started reading Hobb's Farseer trilogy. After that I can start with the Liveship Traders, and I'm planning to order The Tawny Man Trilogy very soon

[PH]

I was reading for school (again) and now I was reading: "Want dit is mijn lichaam" by Renate Dorrestein...

Ok, that wasn't as boring as I thought at first, but it's not one of my favourites...

I hate it to read books for school, but it's part of the literature education...

[PH]

Now reading Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) by George Orwell.
Interesting to say the least.
I like the idea of a doom-future, that's why I love Arena.
Yeah, this book is so inspirational.

[Appelmoes??]

Big Brother is watching you

[maddox]

Currently reading Tom Clancy's Powerplays: Politica

I had this waiting in my bookcase for a couple of months now and finally start reading it. It's nice so far. Though the book is a bit tiny.

I've read a good first bit of that book a couple of years ago.
Is that the one in which Boris Yeltsin has drunk himself to death?

But I didn't like it too much. The book is not for christian kids of the age of 14...


EDIT: By the way, I'm now reading Alice's Adventures In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

...in English...
It's an absurd story, but I like it...
Through The Looking Glass will follow quickly.

[Appelmoes??]

I'm readingTolkiens Silmarillion (:p) for the umpteenth time!

Found that one extremely hard to read and rather ...boring... after The Hobbit and LOTR, actually. Like dude goes there, does that, then goes to war with the other dude, and so on. Not a good read, really...

[maddox]

I never read the rest of Tolkien but to me LOTR was amazing. Already read some 800 till 1100 pages in the past (Tom Clancy for instance) but LOTR was pretty rough.

But nevertheless one of the best books i've ever read. 

[PH]

I'm done with Alice's Adventures In Wonderland (by Lewis Carroll) and Through The Looking Glass will have to wait, because...

I bought the entire Lord Of The Rings trilogy!
In Dutch though... "In de ban van de ring".

The Fellowship, The Two Towers and The Return Of The King all packed in one thick book (1401 pages), and it costed me just 15 euros!

And? Have you finished it yet? 

I just begun reading the new novel of Michael Crighton called Next.

No I think I'm at 1/6 of the book. (The trilogy that is.)
That's the 10th chapter of part 1: The Fellowship.

I really like it! I really do. It grabs you and makes you shift into the world that is Middle-Earth.
I think Tolkien not only wrote a book, but he sort of wrote a self formed history.
Really clever dude the Tolkien-guy.

Well it grabbed me too but only after about 100 pages. Personally i think the beginning is dull although it's quite essential to read the 'background' info in the beginning.
It took me a while to end it though. Not enough time i guess. 

But you're right about one thing. It's amazing.
