Just finished 'Lost World' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, not that little plagarist Michael Chrichton, who had the gall to use Lord Roxton's name in his book!

Also finished 'Around the World in 80 Days' and '20,000 leagues (French leagues apparantly) under the Sea" I LOVE JULES VERNE!!!!!!!!

Now reading very funny book called The Da Vinci Code. I don't think its supposed to be funny but I find it a right laugh...

I read the Da Vinci Code not long ago.. Was ok, its an interesting subject matter. Really liked the first part of it then seemed to get a bit cheesy by the end.. lemme know what u think...

at the moment I am reading The Berkut, a book about what happened after hitler committed suicide, in the book he stages his death and escapes through a secret tunnel, the Berkut is a fictional bird which hunts wolves, hence the title, very impressive.

At the moment I am reading ' The Chronicals of Narnia'

When I was a kid I read 'the lion, the witch & the wardrobe', but I didn't know about the other books, so I bought the set and started at the begining.

I am currently on 'The voyage of the Dawn Treader' and loving every page.

The Face of God - Bill Myers thumbsup.gif

What if you could hear the voice of God? What if you actually could see His face? These questions haunt two very different men as they seek 12 supernatural stones that, according to the Bible, represent the Tribes of Israel and together make the voice of God audible.

Ok, I finished the Andromed Strain about two weeks ago and I'm now reading Mother of Kings by Poul Anderson. Really good book so far. It's semi-fantasy about vikings. wink2.gif
The Raven
Unexplained Mysteries: How ordinary people experience the uncanny, and the unexplained. - Sort of Readers Digest.

This is an awesome book, even though it is 1982. It covers alot of paranormal things, from Spontaneous Combustion to Poltergeists and Possession. grin2.gif

That 2$ at the old bargain books at the Public Library was sure worth it!

Haha, I've beens itting here with pen and paper taking down all the ones that sound interesting

As for me, right now I'm reading "Sorcery Rising" by Jude Fisher. Damn good. I'm not too far through but so far it's thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

*goes looking for her list of books to read* Ah! I've lost it! Crumbs. crying.gif

Another book I found excellent was "Out of Time" by Lynn Abbey. Amazing fantasyish book with a really interesting writing style and a refreshingly new story line (about curse hunters - ok, so it's new to me). It's the first in the "Emma Merrigan Series" and so ends in a most unsatisfactory way. The next is called "Behind Time" and then after that comes "Taking time" neither of which I have read yet as the library doesn't have them sad.gif .
The first, at least, gets a very definate thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Executive Ben Fielding hits upon a perfect plan: he will make his company millions of dollars by using Chinese labor to manufacture its electronic components. To kickstart his plan, he visits China, where he stays with college roommate Li Quan, whom he hasn't seen in over 20 years. From Li, Ben learns that his initial impressions of China from his research and from visits over the years are false, but Ben doesn't believe Li's stories of the persecution of Christians until Li is taken to jail.

I am currently reading Mien Kampf- Adolf Hitler.

I'm not some wierd nazi or anything, I just fancied reading it to see what all the hype was about. The guy had some really warped ideas.

I think I will have to read it twice, just to understand his mind-set.

I don't burn books! ohmy.gif There was just that one I thought ought to be out of harm's way that I mentioned in another thread...

I like second hand bookshops though, you never know what you might find. I bought some homeopathy textbooks from India once that would probably have been next to impossible to buy here. original.gif
