Hum...
-Re-read "Martyn Pig" when I have the chance/can find it -Finally re-read "Watch Your Mouth" in a few minutes. I've been planning on doing so for god only knows how long... -Any David Handler books I have not yet read (yes, David Handler. Any "D. Handler" is god-like to me.) -The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -More Terry Pratchett Books (that is, whatever ones I can find)
There's tons more, but I can't think of them at the moment. Meh.
Edit- Ok...why are all the capital "d"s turning into those ridiculous smilies? It irritates me. Edit #2- *smacks head against the table* GAH.

Oh, you're reading HGTG? I love that book! I was reading its sequals but it was an old copy so the book fell apart. I love Terry Pratchett, too!

Yeah...or at least I hope to. I need to make the library send HHGTTG and the sequels over from another town. That's what sucks about living in Oz. The munchkins have no literary tastes.
And yeah, Pratchett rocks. I've only read "Equal Rites" and "Lords and Ladies" though...loved 'em.
Heh. "Bad Ass". Who doesn't want to live in a town "named after an ornery donkey"?

I've read Good Omens (well, half, before I had to return it. I was reading other books at that time, too) Thief of time, The Truth and the Hogfather.

Oh, quick question-What is happening to all your thread-starting posts? Why are you deleting them? I also hope to be re-reading "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt, assuming my mother buys it for me for Christmas. Or I can find it and buy it myself...Hum...

Ah, my reading list: Must re-read the entire Sherlock Holmes canon, plus The Seven Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer, which is most God-like in terms of post-Doyle Holmes novels. (It's only second to Larry Millet's Sherlock Holmes novels.) Must also track down a copy of The Canary Trainer by Nicholas Meyer as well-- a marvelous merging of Sherlock Holmes and the Phantom of the Opera
Lest I be thought too much of a Holmesian (or, in Amerika, a Sherlockian), I will add that must re-read the first two books in the Gormenghast trilogy. (Let's hear it for wading through extreme description with little action! Seriously, they're awesome books.)
Finally, I need to get my hands on another copy of The Wasp Factory. If you liked ASOUE, you may or may not like this. It abounds in unfortunate events that are extremely bizarre. (Hey, it's about a sixteen-year-old guy, Frank, whose older brother just escaped the lunatic asylum. Frank's best friend is a dwarf, and they go to the pub together . . . And, when he was a very young child, Frank killed three of his young relatives: two cousins and his little brother. But, as he said, that was just a phase he was going through.)

-Finishing up the books by John Bellairs - reading some Agatha Christies on the side - Pirates by Captain Charles Johnson. Its taking me a while to get through that book because it was written in 1726 and I'm unfamiliar with the wording. Interesting though, because it has the female pirates along with the males (no Finnish ones though.).
must fix typos...must fix typos...

-The Shawshank Redemption(my fave movie) -The Dark Tower: Gunslinger -The Basic Eight -The Sign of Four is Shawshank JUST the movie book version of Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption or are you getting all of the stories in Different Seasons? I guess Stephen re-wrote some of Gunslinger , I haven't gotten the new version yet...I've been reading Dark Tower since before some of our members were born.

No, the actual book, not all the different seasons. Have you read it? Apt Pupil looks good.
