Awww...heat waves suck. We have one going on where I live currently. :c
I hope yours doesn't last long!

In other news, I finished the book I just started the other day.
Hopefully can finish one other in the next few days, although I have work and a couple of craft projects I need to haul ass on too.
XP
So busy.

@Trystan I think I understand what you said. But seriously, that movie was odd and boring, but then I have mixed feelings about Dune the book. I might try the miniseries at some point.

I am reading Bangkok Haunts, #3 in a series. I love those books. They are well written and quite interesting. The detective, Sonchai, is from Thailand, and is a Buddhist and...co-owns a brothel with his mother. Yup! its different.

@Kad: that owl!!! so beautiful, what is the name of that item?

well, i'm glad someone understood some of that!

the book is hard to get through - Frank Herbert has a very compact style of writing.

Moonshadow: It's from Harvey Herald, which is an older DI.

@Trystan: I thought I would try Dune but I don't think I will now. I'm tired of reading hard things.

@Kad It is very beautiful.

yeah, he'd kinda a dense writer, not really an easy read

I can offer some comments on Dune once I'm done, if you like. It's on my list. I shall suffer it!

I read a little more of Memories of Ice while at the dentist today. So close!

And I walked into a bookstore. Only came outwith a magazine though! A copy of Rue Morgue about Women in horror. I'm kind of tempted to subscribe if I can. I picked up their last issue on Shark movies, too.

So many video game books I want to read!

i'm reading another book! yaay!!!!

ooh, i have to see if my Navagators of Dune book is even out yet....it was supposed to be out in paperback on Aug 29th.....

I've been reading more than usual this year... I'd like to set a target of 15 I think... I've not really been keeping a tally of when I read them or anything fancy like that but yeah... ^_^;;

Books I've read so far this year :

1 - A Court of Wings and Ruin - Sarah J. Maas
2 - Illidan (World of Warcraft) - William King
3 - The Gilded Fan - Christina Courtenay
4 - Jepp Who Defied the Stars - Katherine Marsh
5 - Sashenka - Simon Montefiore
6 - The Shogun's Queen - Lesley Downer
7 - The Last Concubine - Lesley Downer
8 - The Courtesan and the Samurai - Lesley Downer
9 - The Samurai's Daughter - Lesley Downer (currently reading)

These are all the ones I remember reading as most of them have been in the last few months... I have a stack that I'm slowly working my way through beside my bed plus I have another few books on pre-order... I just hope work doesn't get too busy so that I end up with no time to read again ^_^;;

I decided to re-read The Sight

I've been largely absent, just so tired at night I have been sleeping.

I just bought a copy of 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
Classics I should read again.

i have both Animal Farm and 1984. i want to reread 1984, so i'll just add that on my reread pile, along with the rest of the Incarnations of Immortality series (i'm in the middle of book 3 of 8 (although i'm only reading the original 7)); Harry Potter; the Hobbit & Lord of the Rings; and the Olympos Cycle (two-book series).

i have a number of books on my to-read list that i want to read, including Navigators of Dune, and two Supernatural novels... maybe i'll read those when i'm done my new, current book - small great things, by Jodi Picoult~

this is book #33 for me! *woot*

I have so many books to read and I keep adding more!
I am reading the Bangkok 8 series of police procedurals. I am on book #4, there are six.

I'm going to be starting on a new book tonight (#9) and I've had one of my pre-orders arrive so I'm sorted for a little while... Then I'll have to delve into my bookshelf and find out which ones I haven't got around to reading yet ^_^

@Awen I have so many books at home that I have not read, close to 200 I think. I always say I'm not going to buy any more, but yet, I get attracted to a subject then I buy another book!

Right now I am reading a police procedural series, I have two left, and also reading Destiny of Souls.

I need to update my reading list, I'm going to do it now!

Almost done my two books! I appear to be in the last chapter of Memories of Ice but it's a really long chapter. Pretty darn epic though.

I'm going to start reading Nostalgia once I'm finished one of these as I think the book might help give me some ideas for some "memory" themed writing I would like to do.

Death by Video Game continues to be an awesome book, and I'm having a hard time not buying other books that look into the industry and such as well. My brother has a copy of All Your Base Are Belong to Us that I intend to snag.
