After seeing the Chevy Chase Fletch movie, I'm going back and rereading the novels -- which are so much better as to be incomperable. Then it's on to the Flyinn novels -- by the same author (Gregory McDonald) but Boston-located. The novels have been reissued recently; they're available on Amazon.
Who really might actually be back this time . . .

Never read War & Peace, but the same goes for Moby Dick.
Right now I'm reading "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle for the second or third time - a really good book, IMHO.
Now Hypercaffeinated! Share and Enjoy!

I was thinking about reading that, they have it in yonder library, but I want to finish the books I have on my shelf first. So, maybe in a year or two.

I just finished Eragon. I won't say anything on it untill my "review" except that its not my favorite nor do I hate it.
I'm reading Animal Farm for school. its interesting what some people say when you mention the book.
"the new book we'll be reading is Animal Farm-"
"COMMUNISM!"
"...not quite"
and I'm going to start reading Lord Valentines Castle. on reccomendation from my english teacher.

The Last Herald-Mage series by Mercedes Lackey. First book is I believe Magic's Pawn. SOme guy in Queer Student Alliance recomended it, and my mother had it (what book doesn't she have?) so I am going to try it. So far it is pretty good.
