Technically nothing. I finished Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (annotated of course) this afternoon, and have resolved to reread TRST and delve into this negative/un-chapter business as soon as possible (aka tonight). Also, this is my first post!

IT by stephen king. Going slowly, but I do like how it develops, and it's a bit different.

I'm almost through Fahrenheit 451. I'm steadily into Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I've only just begun Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond (looking at the rise and fall of human societies). Have heard many good things about that one. I started The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kunder a little while ago, but was sidetracked about half way through.
Now the question remains... when will i finish all of these books, eh?!

I'm currently reading Bound For Glory by Woody Guthrie, an awe inspring autobiography that makes me want to be a better person, and pack up my bags and just hit the road to ramble around.

Took a break from Otherland during these most hectic times at school writing reports on advanced computer graphics programming, global illumination and rendering and such stuff... and Today I bought Paul Austers "Travels in the Scriptorium"... read half of it already, it's a really short book! :) Planning on getting the new york trilogy after I finish this and the otherland books!

At the mo i'm reading Robert J Sawyer's Flashforward. I loved the TV show. Devastated when it was cancelled. So, decided to pick up the book. Canadian author = plentitude of Canadian references. Love it.

Well, I was considering not buying it (it said on the back of the cover that it had references to his other works) but I thought "oh well" and bought it anyway.

To be honest, I am glad I did what I did! I have no ideas what these references can be, but it was a really interesting book. So I think if I re-read this after a few of his older works maybe I'll see some connections, but I'm sure it didn't spoil anything for me :)

Oh, is Flashforward from the start, or a continuation of the TV show?

How do you mean? The book is completely different than the TV show, unfortunately (and I say unfortunately only because I loved the show so much). The book and show deal with completely different things, with only one similar character (Lloyd Simcoe). What i liked most, though was that there was a lot of physics theory integrated in the book. That's something that's real neat, i think.



And yeah, it was my first time reading F.451. I found it less frightening and more enlightening, to be honest. I haven't read any other Bradbury, would you recommend anything else? I remember hearing something about when 451 was turned into a graphic novel. There was apparently hard feelings against that because it defeated so many of the ideas in the book. I didn't understand until i actually read it, but that's sort of interesting. I love reading utopias and dystopias; I think they can be some of the greatest acts of storytelling.

How are you enjoying Lunar Park? Imperial Bedrooms was a really easy read, read it in one sitting. I enjoy Ellis's style of writing, his observations, and his new one has a noir bent to it! Just saw him at the Largo on his current book tour... what a great event that was... readings from him and others including James van der Beek, a short movie, and interview.

Now reading Kraken by China Mieville.

Finally finished off Atlas Shrugged, er...
