How was that? the only book by him I read was The Alchemist, and it changed my life

Well they sell a lot of those Vampire Romance novels that are so popular now...or at least I hear people talking about them more these days...they used to have a whole level of a bookshelf filled with Pratchet but I went down there today (and bought some comic books with gift cards yay birthday! Boo for real books not being as interesting anymore and Boo for Neil Gaiman's new book not coming out for another monthish)

I have no idea what happened but I was going to buy a Pratchet book and when I looked at the SiFi/fantasy section not one of his books was there...and it wasn't like there was a gap...it was packed....maybe kids in college don't read books written by him

I also started out with The Alchemist, then my dad read it, ran out and bought a bunch of his books. So now I have read The Pilgrimage and By the River Piedra... as well. They've all been different but amazing in their own way. I could definitely see myself reading them again at some point and maybe taking some notes. I don't know how one man can be so wise.

College kids better be reading Pratchett! I stayed up 'til 2 in the morning reading Discworld plenty of times in college. (Of course, sometimes I was up doing work until that hour as well. Boo.)

I don't know how many college kids like to read in general these days.

September count!

11) Once Upon a Time in the North, Phillip Pullman

12) Love in the Time of Fridges, Tim Scott

13) Devil May Care, Sebastian Faulks

14) The Princess Bride, William Goldman

That's the most reading I've done all year! ...Hooray!

*Is still doing this, just didn't keep track of June-September very well* :shifty: :sweatdrop

I finished a bunch of the Corona books, Demon Spirit, Demon Apostle and Transcendence. Kinda got bored of it, the series isn't that great. Will probably finish it still, but only because I want to know how it ends. Puts me at 20 books, all by Salvatore.

21. Sojourn, R.A. Salvatore. Much better then Corona, I'll probably read more Dark Elf stuff when I have time.

22. Toll the Hounds, Steven Erikson. I've waited almost a year for this, so totally worth the wait. Really good, but in a completely different style of writing then the Dark Elf ones, so comparing would be unfair. Although, I definitely prefer Erikson's stuff, it's so much more epic. =D

And that's it for now, reading some British Guy’s mystery novel right now. A Question of Blood, by Ian Rankin

Since I just realized I never officially did this, consider this my drop-out post. Too much work/school impeded my time, and I'm not organized enough to go back and find everything.

I'll try this again next year, when I've graduated and no longer have to do school/work simultaneously.

finally some one else posted...I have a pretty big update...not as big as my last one...but still...quite a few comics this time.

Hey guys, sorry I'm late, but I was busy on October 1st hearing Neil Gaiman read a chapter from The Graveyard Book. Be jealous, be very jealous. And yesterday I was just lazy.

Anyhow, September count:
33. Double Whammy ~ Carl Hiaasen redneck mystery, very funny, I wound up enjoying it a lot more than I thought

34. New Moon ~ Stephenie Meyer Yes, I am reading the Twilight series, and I like it, regardless of what other people might say.

35. Fearful Symmetry ~ Morag Joss British mystery, but I couldn't get into it. Second book by this woman, but I won't be reading any more of them.

36. Looking for Rachel Wallace by Robert B. Parker
37. Y: The Last man: One Small Step Written by Brian K. Vaughn and illustrated by Pia Guerra

I started a bunch of books but didn't really have a lot of time this month to read any books other than these two all the way though...I hope I make the 50 book mark October was kind of a dead month and November isn't looking too good either

And I am very jealous! Was it magical? Did you get to meet Neil Gaiman himself!??! What does his voice sound like?!
Jen is lucky
