The New Golden Bough.
I love when the Springfield/GC has the book sale.

Re: The "What are you reading?" thread
Just starting the third book of the Star Wars: Darth Bane trilogy.
I gotta say, I never had any desire to read these sort of books at all. Always expected them to just be cheesy rip offs based on the movie. But these 3 novels from this author are amazing.

This book was a huge disappointment. The first 1/3 of it was a true masterpiece. Vivid details and excellent storytelling. It was awesome!SubLunar wrote:So far (Goethe's) Faust is pretty awesome. Too bad it'll take me forever to finish it now that I'm working and don't have endless time to spend reading anymore...
But then it totally crapped out and the storyline became nonsense and didn't seem to progress or do anything interesting. Finally towards the end it seems to be attempting to wrap up and tie the loose ends but it went in such a lame direction that it's really not holding my attention anymore. I'm down to the last 100 pages and I don't even know if it's worth finishing. Damn.

I hear Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin is good.
I just finished The Osiris Ritual by George Mann which is the 2nd in the series and now I'm starting the 3rd: The Immorality Engine.
Pokey, you'd probably like these books... as would anyone else who enjoys mysteries in a lite-steampunk Victorian England.

I'm reading Stephen King's new one. Still thumbing through the Golden Bough (I keep it in my truck for times I have to wait places. I hate waiting.) Also reading some of Joseph Campbell. Not the one with Bill Moyer. Some lectures he did. Joseph Campbell is the bomb.

What's King's new one?
The last one of his I've read was Under the Dome.

11/22/63. Short, dorky description: A guy travels back in time with the express intention of stopping the JFK assassination. But it is much more than that. Statements on the world that was, the world that is, and how we got here from there. And, of course, King's observations on the lives of everyday people. Nobody that sells as many books is doing it better.

Hilarious. I read that for the first time in a bookstore in Richmond Va. My wife walked away from me because I wouldn't stop giggling.

I just finished The Wild Through the Keyhole by Stephen King. It was nice to return to Mid-World for a spell.

Re: The "What are you reading?" thread
I got that too. It was kind of nice. Almost makes me want to go back and reread the series.
