The Bible. I was in Catholic School until the 3rd grade, and then got kicked out for foul langauge and a happy middle finger.
I've never read it before. Slow reading, but I figure it's one of those things that I should read before I die. I'm reading it one chapter every morning, so I'll finish reading it in about 2-3 years.

I'm now on Desecration: Antichrist on the Throne. I've just witness somebody get fried by her faith in the lord. It's a good thing this is a book. I would not want to watch that scene.

The Left Behind series is such a great series!!! I was never a big reader till a friend gave me Left Behind a few years ago. I FLEW through it and have loved reading ever since! I will warn you, have tissues handy when you are reading Armageddon and Glorious Appearing. AMAZING writing! After I finished Glorious Appearing, I immediately started the whole series over again. Just that good!

Ah, one of my all time favorites. Mr. Darcy is an outstanding character.

Anyway, my little sis just got me "The Fifty Greatest Conspiracies of All Time: History's Biggest Mysteries, Coverups, and Cabals" by Jonathan Vankin, John Whalen :thumbup: (I think that is the same book the friendly neighborhood anarchist, AKA the Thinker reads in Anasazi just before he hecks into gov't files)

I'll start reading it tommorow night. I'm telling ya- JFK and Elvis are still alive, living in the area 51 with all the aliens. :hulk:

Sir

Currently re-reading the following books:

Catch-22
Dragons of Winter Night (dragonlance chronicles)
Brave New World

Reading for the first time:

Handmaid's Tale
Latest in the Left behind series



I read a ton, all kinds of different books. I usually will be reading 3 or 4 at a time...then just wrap one up in a rapid pace.

Best book ever! :thumbup:


I completely agree. I've reread it a couple of times now. I just love the insanity of it all, and how cleverly written it is. It is a joy to read.

The DiVinci Code is a so-so knock-off of Unberto Eco's Focault's Pendelum. That book kicks arse.

Well, I just finished The Da Vinci Code last night and if that was a "so-so knock-off" of Eco's book, I need to get Foucault's Pendulum ASAP! :thumbup:

Re-reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

One more book to come in this Fall - I figure if I start from the beginning this week, I should be fresh to start the final book in September.
