That Hideous Strength, the third and final book in C.S. Lewis' "Space Trilogy".

I'm finding this one awfully hard to get through, though. I read the first two books in about a week, and I've been working on this one for several weeks and am not even 1/3 of the way through it, but I was warned that it would probably be like that ...

I actually finished both books, on time to get one back to the library and take a quiz on the end of the other one.

Starting Elsewhere, by Gabrielle Zenvin. I figured a little young-adult-fiction would make the next few weeks a little easier.

That's too bad. I love Stuart McLean. His audio stuff is so great for road trips. I've read all his books, but I don't remember which is which so I can't tell you specifically what you're missing out on.

All right, well, I finished The Basic Eight last week and I have to say that it's definitely in my top 20 or so. And I read a heck of a lot, and have been doing so for 23 years, so that's quite the compliment. Truly one of the best books ever.

Right now I'm reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. It's pretty good once you get into it. I was a little thrown off by its Victorian-Era language, but it's really good so far, and funny in that dry British way.

I managed to read that last summer. I found it a little too dry at first, but the book really grows on you, it's good fantasy.

Keeping with a vague England theme, I'm reading The Great Fire of London by Niel Hanson. It's a historical retelling of the catastrophic fire that burned down half of London in 1666.

The Magician's Nephew.

It's really annoying. Since when did you put the word 'till" in a book? I thought until wa smeant for that.

I just don't like the whole old manner of speaking. It bothers me.

The Red Pony - John Steinbeck

I'm reading it for school, and I'm on the first chapter only. I was surprised how it ended.

I'm also reading The City of Ember - Jeanne DuPrau

Does anyone read Star Wars books around here? I think that most of them are quality books, way better than the movies.

I find many of Dean Koontz' books are like that. I always thought he was a paid-by-the-pound kind of writer (like John Saul or Nora Roberts, for example) but then I read False Memory, loaned to me by my dad. It was really clever and un-put-downable. Since then I've read a few others of his, whose titles escape me. :mrgreen:

I've started reading the ridiculously silly (and deliciously so) Molly Moon's Incredible Book of Hypnotism. When a book starts out by comparing its heroine's legs to Spam, you know you've got a beast on your hands.

Still slogging through The Summer Tree, too. Man, I just can't seem to get into this book! No matter how long I read it for, it always seems to slip away from me... I think my main problem with it is that all the character's actions seem to be without precendent. There doesn't seem any "base" for much of anything that happens, or if there is, we don't know enough about it to draw the right connections. I bought it, so I'm gonna finish it, but MAN if it isn't hard...

Hey, I've read that one! It's about that girl in that weird orphanage that hypnotizes everyone and becomes famous.

One of the things that I can remember is that the chef swore a lot. And they were in the UK, so they were funny swears. Seriously, British swearwords are at least ten times funnier than their American counterparts.

I've just taught you all a lesson in humor, I have. ;)


Oh, and the books I'm always reading are Uncle John's Bathroom Readers. I have tons of those. They're insane compendiums of useless information. I love 'em.

And I almost never read any of them in the bathroom. I'M A BAAAAAAD WITTLE BOYYYYYYYY.Image
