Still very behind on this and the deadline is coming up fast, oh well. Here's the update:

Finished Knife of Dreams - I liked this one alot but found myslef missing the big epic battles. Hopefully what's his face does a good job on the last book.

Halfway through Island of the Sequined Love Nun and up next is I am Legend.

Well I might as well start for the new year though all I get time to read at the moment is thousands upon thousands of journal articles.

But so far in the year:
1) The Way By Swann's, Proust
2) Phantom of the Opera, LeRoux
3) Heart of Darkness, Conrad.

I'm now in the hurdle of the very dense, modernist wastelands of more Proust and some Kafka which are slow going, my research papers, and Gormenghaust which is pretty fast read but reasonably long.

Well, it's February, so I can claim some things. Try to spot the books I read for school.

1) Stephen Colbert's I am America (and so can you!), Stephen Colbert
2) John Stuart Mill's On Liberty and Other Writings
3) Peace Power Righteousness - an Indeginous Manifesto, Taiaike Alfred
4) Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens, by J.R. Miller

I'll have more next month when I finish the four or so other books I started for my other courses.

January count!

1. Confessor, Terry Goodkind
2. Soarer's Choice, L.E Modesitt

Okay, so I only got two. :sweatdrop

It could have been worse. Soarer's choice was actually really good for a Modesitt book. But the Confessor left something to be desired.

Next up, Night of Knives, by Ian Esslemont.

RickZarber 02-02-2008 09:13 PM

So I'm gonna try this out this year.

January count:
1) The History of the Hobbit, John D Rateliff
2) Dandelion Wine, Ray Bradbury

Inbred Chocobo 02-03-2008 01:09 AM

Hey why not, I'm going to start working on this.

January Count:
1) Twilight Falling
2) Dawn of Night
3) Midnight's Mask
4) Shadowbred

All four by Paul S Kemp. Admittedly I have read 6 of the 7 books of the Uskeven series before then, which is what got me on the Everis Cale series. And then that is what lead me to the Twilight wars. I don't know this shall be entertaining.

January Countuuuuuuuu!

1. War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
2. The Marvel Encyclopedia

4. Runaways Vol 2
5. Runaways Vol 3
EDIT: Numbers were wrong

Mike McC 02-03-2008 10:31 AM

Two more.

4. Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman
5. War for the Oaks, by Emma Bull

Jeneralissimo 02-03-2008 12:23 PM

Fencer, where are your first three? o_O

January count (late, as usual):

1. Men at Arms ~ Terry Pratchett
2. Persuasion ~ Jane Austen
3. Northanger Abbey ~ Jane Austen
4. Mansfield Park ~ Jane Austen
5. The Meaning of Night ~ Michael Cox

Terry Pratchett is always good, of course. (I am currently working through Soul Music.) The Jane Austen stuff is because PBS is showing all her works on Masterpiece Theatre and I figured it was a good time to finally read it all. I'll have Pride and Prejudice and Emma done by the end of this month. The Meaning of Night was excellent, as I believe I mentioned in Fifth's thread. My cubemate is reading it now.

It's great to see so many people posting in here! ^^

Can't scroll up? They're in December. I restarted early, remember?

I don't abide by having to stick strictly within the year of 2008.
