I have just read The Goblet of Fire..the movie trailer got me excited.

Reading Demonic Males-Richard Wrangham and Dale Peterson. Seems nice so far. About apes and the origins of human violence. Hopefully will not turn out to be bullshit. Can only wait and see. Has some good stuff about Rwanda and Burundi.

Myst: The Book of Atrus
-Rand and Robyn Miller, David Wingrove.

Wait, back up. There are Myst books? and I thought I new everything.

Are they based on the ages? How many are there? I love Myst

Three Myst books were written, taking place before the first game. The Book of Atrus covers Atrus's life, from birth to sealing away Gehn in Riven. The Book of Ti'Ana covers the life of Anna, grandmother to Atrus, from the time she first comes to D'ni to the fall of that empire. The Book of D'ni covers a part of the reconstruction, when Atrus begins to rebuild D'ni (this book, unlike the other two, is between Riven and Exile, after Catherine's rescue but before Atrus begins writing Releeshahn) with the help of people from other ages, and uncovers a book that the ancient D'ni had locked away that links to another age, Terahnee. All of this is basically just from the beginning or mentioned in the games, so I haven't actually given away any of the plot points, but they're pretty good. I just took a look, too, and two more books are planned.

i just read Moneyball. great book. it's about how the Oakland A's managed to win so many games while spending so little money, back in the early 90s.

I'm currently reading my own book ! yes, that's right: I'm writing a book !
I have played for too long AD&D and my character will now become a legend. Remember the name!

Just read Scarlet Stockings by Alcott. Veery nice. I'm developing a liking for 'the gayety of foreign society'.

[Anonymous]

foreigners are gay.

i will endure the double post ridicule to announce that this post is the first time i've had the 1,000th post in any topic! w00t!

[Dingy]

Hehe. Good for you DDave. But that's the thing. These classical writers never envisioned the wide and unnecessary use of the word 'gay' and use it ever so often. Bloody classics.
Reading Gogol's The Calash. Trying my head at Russian classics.

[fizban]

Lately been reading Wheel of Time series, and also read this short book Mice and Men

[afterburner]

Its a good series but it takes way too long for the books to come out, also there are way too many plot threads, means not that much happens to each character in each book, from path of daggers to knife of dreams, perrin was on a rescue mision ...

anyway, brilliant series, no matter how I complain
