What's the point? Shouldn't you read for the pleasure of it? You make it seem like... Ya know... Work!

I aim to be a professional writer, so I'm cool with that.
But keeping track of what you've read and what you will read isn't that much of a hassle, especially since sharing lists of that sort is a cool way to see what cool people are reading.

How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic It's amazing how frequently people make logical fallacies on a daily basis. I like learning the Latin names for the extra "umph" when pointing them out.  |

Just finished Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut and started Slaughterhouse Five. Bit late to the Vonnegut game, but so far am liking his stuff.
Also just finished Greg Egan's latest: The Clockwork Rocket. <3 Egan for his awesome mix of science/math with great storytelling. Love turning the page to find a figure explaining some obtuse scientific concept!

Finished The Stand over winter break, just finished 'Salem's lot a few days ago. Now to choose. The Shining, Pet Semetary, or The Gunslinger?
I'm thinking pet semetary.

The only one of those I've read was the stand. I keep hearing that the Dark Tower is King's absolute must read after that, but I can never get into it. Someday, I'll get through it.

I'm thinking pet semetary.
I finished the Stand this winter too. I recommend the Dark Tower series (I loved it), but I haven't read Pet Semetary so I wouldn't know to compare. Also: Reading 11/22/63. For such a boring/overused seeming premise, I'm sure liking it. King's a great writer. |

Yeah, The Shining was very strong. I'd also recommend Carrie (a girl who gets bullied also happens to have psychokinetic powers; was his first novel) and Cell (everyone who uses a cellphone gets turned into a zombie).

I just started reading A Dance With Dragons. Highly enjoyable, it's been great fun seeing what all my favorite characters are up to. I can't believe there hasn't been a single Bran chapter since SoS.

Apparently in the next one we get all the missing characters back. Hopefully the wait won't be as long for the next book! I am currently reading a book called Seed by Rob Ziegler. Set in a bleak future and also involves biogenetic stuff and living machinery. |
