Re: So...
I'm so close to finally finishing Shogun by James Clavell. I can taste it.
It's a fantastic book. Everyone should read it.

Re: So...
Ace, I read Flowers for Algernon in middle school. I enjoyed it very much.
I just purchased a new book today but i doubt any of you would be interested. I'll tell you anyway: The Courtesan by Susan Carrol. It is a historical fiction novel.
I am also planning on re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird, one of my favorite books. And I will be working through Harry Potter again too.

It's another night in hell, Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death
And as we sit free and well, Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath
C'mon now amen, amen, amen

I'm still working on Harry Potter. My grandma gave me a book called The Taking but I haven't started it yet.

Well, the first book in the series: The Dark Queen is about 3 sisters (focused on one of them) who inherit "magic". they're wise women is the term used, in France during Catherine de Medici's time. If you know anything about her, you know that she was said to be a witch.
The current book I have, The Courtesan, is about the second sister 3 years later.

Re: So...
It sounds interesting but it also sounds like it's geared more towards women. What would your opinion be on that.

Re: So...
I'm currently reading "Finnegan's Wake" by Joseph Wambaugh. Its a funny character driven thriller centered on an aging police detective in Cali who really wants to be a movie star.
Anbd BlueFire, please tell me that you read Mary Shelly's Frankenstein... and not Dean Friggin' Koontz's Frankenstein.

Re: So...
Hahah, my brother said he read Frankenstein, and I assumed he read the original like I did. I read it at his age and I almost finished it despite the complex, older english. I was almost proud of him for a moment - but no, he read the Dean Koontz one.

Yeah it was Shelley.. never even heard of the latter.
Anyone else read House of the Spirits or Wuthering Heights?

You are absolutely correct in that it is geared more towards women. That is why I originally said that I didn't think it would interest you all much. It has a lot of historical facts in it, but they're mixed up in romance and chivalry. Knights and handsome men of that sort...etc.

Hahah, ok. Yeah, I'm not one to read a romance novel. Not to say I jib romance completely, though. Some times it's interesting to read what women are thinking. It's like I'm decoding Ancient Aztec.
