I'm currently immersed in the novel "American Gods" bu Neil Gaiman. It's quite good so far, even though I'm only one quarter of the way through it.

I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and it's really good so far but I haven't had much time for reading so I'm only about half way done even though I started a few weeks ago

Devils of Loudun by Huxley. I'm wading through it slowly (he does go off into some rather airy realms) but it's yummy as I enjoy Catholic history from when the church was all sorts of decadent and messed up.

Annual reading of Starship Troopers, on the bounce.

Also recently finished Black Wind by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler. Was so-so.

That books is so much crack.

And has forever warped the way I look at leprechauns.

In this moment I'm reading a lot of psychology books because I have to do a task for the school..

I'd prefer a good mystery's book...

Books of Blood 1 thru 6 by Clive Barker.

More than one monster in more than one story delights in mangling cars until it ignites the gas tank and sets itself on fire.

Otherwise I love it so far.

Macbeth by Shakespeare

Despite being tricky to digest, I'm liking Macbeth a lot.

The Cosmic Code by Heinz R. Pagels. It's this weird quantum physics book from the early 80's. Sweet.

I'm reading a manga called "Death Note". It hasn't yet been licensed into English. It's an odd mix between being boring as fuck and interesting as hell.

I'm also reading Ron Chernow's bio of Alexander Hamilton, for whom my son is named, and White Devil: A True Story of War, Savagery, and Vengeance in Colonial America.

I'm reading The Historian also. I bought it for thirty five New Zealand dollars about two hours ago.

I think it looks like it's going to be a lot like Umberto Ecco's novels........Focault's Pendulum(sp)which I read in the nineteen eighties!!!!!


What do you think? (I've only managed about 20 pages.....)

The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Doctor Who: The Clockwise Man. I like Hunchback, though it's slow paced. Doctor Who is vaguely amusing, but nothing tops a good performance by Tom Baker or Christopher Eccleston!

I'm re-reading "Violin" by Anne Rice. It's sort of strange, but it's fun to read at night with minimal lighting.
