Pretty self explanatory. What are you reading now? Feel free to talk a little bit about it.

I'm actually not reading anything right now, I just finished a book today and I'm gonna go to the bookstore tomorrow probably. I'll chime in later.

Well, I just (about ten minutes ago) finished reading Forever Odd, by Dean Koontz. It's the second in a series he wrote and is presumably continuing. I have the third book, so I'll start that today. I'm also reading Carrie, by Stephen King. I think it's his first novel. I'm not really impressed by it. The murderer is the protagonist. Interesting perspective, but not told well enough to work out. It doesn't suck that badly, but I wouldn't recommend it. I'm not reading anything else at the moment, but I'll post a second time when I am. Butler out.

If the Godfather novel is any good, I'll have to look into it. And by that I mean borrow it from you when you finish. Must be a thousand pages long, though.

Okay, I bought Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke.

I haven't read much but the premise seems cool. Two magicians living in the years that Napolean was in power, who end up competing with each other in an alternate reality.

I just got back from the mall, and I got the last Series of Unfortunate Events and the latest Artemis Fowl book. Yes, 700 pages should last me about a week! I'll put a personal review up when I'm done with either of 'em.

How many of those unfortunate event books are there? Last I checked - 13, but I'm sure they're more by now.
