Good choice.

Assassin's Apprentice - Robin Hobb

AJG · 05-09-2007 12:14am

Finished Miller's 'Book of Friends' and also polished off Steinbeck's 'Tortilla Flats'. It was only 150 pages so my commuting makes short work of books like that. I've a stack of 20 or 30 books on my floor but still haven't decided what I'd like to devour next. I was going to say 'tackle' but devour seems more apt.

Royal Assassin - Robin Hobb

I'm about 50 pages into Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon (800+ pages in total), tough going so far. Anyone here ever read it?

John · 05-09-2007 8:12pm

No, Pynchon is someone I keep meaning to get around to but never do. Someday...

Should be interesting.

Zoodlebop · 06-09-2007 2:12am

I'm on "The Dispossesed" by Ursula le Guin

Love a bit of Ursula, me.

I'm reading "A Briefer History Of Time" by Stephen Hawking. Bit difficult to read. Anyone here ever read it?

ZorbaTehZ · 06-09-2007 11:01pm

Finally managed to pick up a copy of A Happy Death by Camus, and also have Atlas Shrugged lined up.

What's it about? The FAI?

AJG · 14-09-2007 12:03pm

A very funny book about a fat sloth named Ignatius Reilly and his many misadventures. An excellent read.

I've moved on to Emile Zola's 'Therese Raquin'.

Oink · 14-09-2007 1:36pm

Zola? God... I read one of his books a while back, and I'm not doing that ever again for at least another 20 years. It was good and all, but there's only so much misery I can take. Same with Les Miserables and pretty much anything by Dickens... It's all about being miserable during the industrial revolution era...

I hit a slump recently, and all I can stomach at the moment is light stuff, like Kipling's Plain Tales from the Hills or some Yeats.
