Read any good books lately?

I've been rereading the Harry Potter books in preparation of OOTP and DH, but I did read a supplemental HP book called Looking for God in Harry Potter. It was fascinating! So many things (Christian and generic), clues, subtle hints... just blew my mind!

How is Jones' Diary? Worth reading after seeing the movies?

Definately. I saw the movie before I read the book too- there's a nice few extra little snippets, and the diary format is the best setting for the story (being Bridget Jones' Diary and all) and makes it just hilarious. A definate chick read when you want to kill off a few brain cells.

Sabby - Children of the Dust is one of my favourite books by a million miles! I think a certain Maddammarsh reccommended it to me originally, and it never fails to be brilliant!

I think we might have had a discussion about the book at one point or another, long long ago. My English teacher suggested it to me for an "assignment" (he just thought I'd enjoy it) and I ended up keeping the school's copy, so it's all covered with the school stamp on it and everything. I'll get my own copy one day, I swear!
I also think I'd make an awesome three part BBC mini series. (there's just a certain style you get out of bbc series that would just suit it well, I think)

What's Children of the Dust?

Isn't it about surviving a nuclear bomb?

[Lynn]

Yeah it's basically about the aftermath of a nuclear war. IMHO it's good except for the ending, which was pretty weak.

i loved wicked and I'll definitely read Son of a Witch next, as soon as I can find a copy. It's not easy to find some books in English in Berlin.

but I think my next book to read will be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

When is Germany's release date of HP? Will you have to wait?

[Scott]

German version comes out in October (i think) but we can get the british version as of 1 am (being an hour ahead of the UK) on July 21.

I am on such a Chuck Palahniuk kick right now. Mainly because my best friend went to a book signing in Boston and and met him and got her picture with him on his website. So now after reading Survivor I read Lullaby and then I picked up Invisible Monsters and Diary today. He signed her book with "Stacy has rabies". I still need to read Fight Club.......

A few days ago I finished The Gunslinger by Stephen King.
