Currently reading:

Foucault's Pendulum, Umberto Eco: Taking forever to get through.


I hear that, I've been reading that book for like 6 months at this point. It's become a real battle. I really enjoy it, but its become pretty dry. I'm about 2/3s through it.

To contribute, I just the other day picked up:

Raymond Chandler - The Big Sleep
Raymond Chandler - The Lady in the Lake
Dan Abnett - Xenos
Dan Abnett - Necropolis
Ed Greenwood - Elminster: The Making of a Mage
Robert Heinlein - The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

I read The Lady in the Lake over the weekend, just about finished with it now, and I plan to move on to either Necropolis or Elminster next. I crave pulpy fiction after wrestling with Eco for so long.

Another trip to the used book store has left me with Rendezvouz With Rama by Clarke; Moorcock's Behold the Man; and Hyperion. Oh I also picked up A Question of Character by a fellow goon and his dad.

Behold the Man is pretty awesome and I finished it in a couple hours, but now I don't know what to move on to. I am thinking Clarke.
