So what's everyone reading these days? I am one book away from reading all the Dresden File series currently out. Great series for fantasy/horror/detective noir fans and on the non fiction front I am just about to start The Progress Paradox by Gregg Easterbrook.

Seems like the only thing I have time to read anymore is the Textbook for Analysis and Design of Information Systems and Cultural Diversity. The Cultural Diversity one is actually pretty interesting but the Analysis and Design one puts me to sleep.

I was sick last week so I re-read the Harry Potter series, again. I recently read the Faithful Spy by Alex Berenson and the book's sequel The Ghost War. Two of the best books I have ever read. (Note that these are adult books). I also read Mike Lupica's latest book, The Big Field. Right now I am re-reading more Mike Lupica books and writing my own book.

Just got finished reading "The Road" by Cormack McCarthy. Very haunting book. I highly recommend it. It got the Pulitzer and I couldn't help being bummed when it also popped up on Oprah's list.  I recently decided to get back into fantasy and am now reading George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series. It's pretty complex w/ a bazillion names and families to remember. Pretty good though. Don't know why the author didn't just go all the way and call himself G.R.R. Martin.  Next up, I'm finally going to read "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury.

Over The Edge. Jonathan Kellerman. I'm one of those cult fans of his. He has me spoiled to the point I won't read anyone else.

Let's see, I just read Gypsy.
Currently reading Coyote on a Fence and Medea.
What do they have in common, yup, they are all plays. Gypsy is in production right now, Coyote on a Fence goes into production next fall, and Medea is next spring. Common factor = lighting designs aka my life :-D.
Oh yeah, and I just read Carmina Burana for a class project in Graduate Lighting Design II. Only we are doing it how it was intended, as a spectacle incorporating dance, and visual design...not as how it is usually performed in a concert hall.
I'd be surprised if someone doesn't know something from this piece actually. It is set into motion and ended with perhaps one of the most famous musical pieces in history, O Fortuna. Which is used in TONS of commercials, shows, movies, ect ect.

Ancient Evenings by Norman Mailer The Knight by Gene Wolfe Flint by Paul Eddy Not really into any of them, they're just okay.  Recently finished a couple Clive Cusslers and read Lisey's Story by Stephen King... enjoyed those.

lol, believe me, I remember the days.
After I took the bar exam, I felt like I didn't know what to do with myself with the spare time, so I ended up reading something like 14 novels in a matter of about 2 months.

Oh yeah... just read Duma Key too. I enjoyed it a lot though purist King horror fans may not. Definitely a kinder, wiser Stephen King with a lot of purging going on from his near fatal accident.

"Desolation" by Tim Lebbon. Kinda horror-ish stuff. My favorite authors are Bentley Little and John Saul. If anyone digs supernatural horror that's the way to go!

79, I have read the entire collection on the Camel Club....good reads all.
Duty, I just finished up Duma Keys before reading Stone Cold and it does pick up. Pretty good overall, IMO. Not quite up to King's usual books, but I have been disappointed with the last couple (The Cell and I can't remember the other but it was a very short read that had no ending).

Unfortunately "Organizational Behavior" and "IT Project Management" tonight,, blah. I wish I had time to read a book I actually wanted to. Well, I do have to read selections by Sylvia Plath this week for a American Lit class I took as an elective. Lots of good writers/poets to read for that class.
