    Tis indeed, but it's getting just a bit too creepy now (I'm on the second part of the book now.)

    I must have been one of the few who didn't really like it. Nothing to do with the subject matter just the writing. Maybe we should start a new thread/poll for it.

    Northern Lights - Philip Pullman. I've read on some other board that "Golden Compass" is one of the worst adaptations ever, so out of curiosity I decided to check it out.

    it wasn't bad but still far from good.

    tad williams - shadowplay

    i remember loving the first one, but there are a few things that are annoying me about this offering.. maybe it's just that I remember so little of the story.

    Just read The Road (Cormac McCarthy). Quick read(300 pages in large font).
    I like these post-apocalyptic novels and I'll enjoy reading it again. Reminded me a bit of Falling from Cars

    Now on to No country for old men.

    Ernest Hemingway - Fiesta

    Not what you would call "major Hemingway" but entertaining enough all the same.

    Edit: Wikipedia tells me that "most critics" think it's his best novel - there's me stung then.

    I really liked Fiesta too.

    Just finished "Engleby" by Sebastian Faulks.. loved it, thought it was more enjoyable than Birdsong, though very different.

    I enjoyed this - I really like Welsh's style. I think I also read Porno straight afterwards, which is an interesting read for fans of Trainspotting.
