What'cha Reading?

I'm currently reading Michael Crichton's "The Great Train Robbery". I'll probably read "A Farewell to Arms" next, and then I want to find something on Dabrowski's five overexcitabilities if good literature on them is available. The above author was on the daily show a little while ago and the book he was promoting seemed rather interesting.

Well, I was about to say "I'm reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," but nevermind: apparently doing so will suck me into some silly argument/discussion about the literary merit of Stieg Larsson's books.

Naw, you can be like me and stay out of it.... the books aren't the best ever, but I'm enjoying them and that's enough for me!

My bad. I forgot this was yet another inane "show n tell" thread. How fucking radical that someone might actually have an opinion to offer about something they've read instead of just posting random trivia about their day.

Next one will appear in my mailbox, hopefully tomorrow or on monday.
This is the one:

Ah, is that out now? I've read the entire series. I tried to read the Nantucket series, but that sucked.

If Aquarelle is stil eyeing this thread, this is a good series, it prominentely features historical reinactors, and I can think of at least a couple characters you'd probably like.

I read "Let the Right One In" (450 pages) last week.
Pretty enjoyable.

Normally I also consider comparisons to Stephen King on the backs of books to be ridiculous, it's never really true; but in this case, stylistically, I could understand why the comparison was being made.

Hmm, maybe I'll have to look into that series. I just received a Borders coupon in my email, so I am going to the bookstore tonight to pick something out. Wheeeee!

How so?

Are you going to answer that, Mme. Le Fay?
