Just finished The Da Vinci Code.

It was pretty damn good.

I'm going to start reading one of Dan Brown's other books, Angels and Demons tomorrow.

Woo!

Just read "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. Very good. See the movie "Capote" as well. It is worthwhile.

I saw Capote about 2 months ago.

So far since I moved to Virginia and only take a couple of night classes I have read:

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
re-read American Gods by Neil Gaiman
A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Harry Potter 6 J.K. Rowling
Basic Cooking skills for dummies, err I'm like 1/4 through it. I cook as I go.
Read a lot of poetry by Pablo Naruda
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

and just today I started reading "In Cold Blood"

Heh finally got around to it.

Also it's a graphic novel but...

Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman. I think there is a second one now also.

I love Neil Gaiman. Haven't had a chance to read Stardust yet though. Good?



Just started to read A Scanner Darkly in anticipation of the film.

Not reading anything at the moment. I wanted to read War of the Worlds, but then I read a short X-files book and another one awaits me and other things came up.......

It's kinda like a more mature fairy tale or something like that. It's very good though, in a fairy tale sort of way.

I own Coraline by Neil Gaiman...sort of like a twisted Alice in Wonderland. I've been wanting to read American Gods forever.

A friend of mine was going to a bookstore yesterday so I sent money with him to pick up George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Fire and Ice, Book I, A Game of Thrones"

I'll find out Monday if they had it. ^_^

I started reading Flowers for Algernon a few days ago...and it's become one of my favorite books ever. :| It's an addictive read.

I also finished Grendel, my John Gardner the other day...it's the epic Beowulf written from the monster's perspective...it was glorious as well.
