Stephen King's The Shining (but in my home language, Brazilian Portuguese).

Waiting for the new Koji Suzuki's book: Promenade of the Gods to arrize from Amazon.com. :D

"Aristotle and an Arardvark Go To Washington" and "Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar..."  both by Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein. Both about philosopy and political doublespeak.

2of3 : I'm actually on page 119 of the same book myself. Not quite sure yet if I like it as much as the first 3.

Have you read them all?

It's good, although a bit different from the usual Stephen King. More psychological horror and inner demons than external phenomenon.

The Last Centurion by John Ringo with my left eye, How Few Remain by Harry Turtledove with my right eye.

(Okay, I admit I don't read them simultaneously. But I am reading both.)

I just started Odd Hours, so I haven't formed an opinion yet. Zakai, I've read every single Dean Koontz book in print. Same goes for Stephen King. My favorite from Dean Koontz is One Door away from heaven.

I had a few years there where I was always to busy to find time to read but I think I've caught back up on all but The Taking, The Frankenstein books, and Icebound(which is waiting on the nightstand when Odd Hours is finished).  I see from the page you posted I'll have to find a copy of the graphic novel In Odd We Trust also.

I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite but I think Dragon Tears was one of the first few I read and what got me hooked on his books.

The Ezekiel Option by Joel Rosenberg. Excellent and very riveting political thriller about the events leading up to the "end of days".

La muerte de Artemio Cruz by Carlos Fuentes.

Better Than Life by Grant Naylor.

Also re-reading Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons and Luces de bohemia by Ramon del Valle-Inclan.

Always re-reading the Book of Mormon.

I love Stephen King too.  Duma Key was a great book, I think it took me about 4 days to read...it was quick reading.

 

Right now I'm only reading one book, The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick.  Pretty interesting.  I'm just waiting for a new Stephen King book.  I've been going back and reading them all again, trying to go in order.  I'll probably pick up the Dark Tower series again, it's been about a year since I finished that.  What a great storty that is.

I noticed this book on 2of3's bedstand in the pic he posted of his ship-board "office".  Funny he didn't mention it, huh?

 

 

 

The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

I read teh first two series of that years ago and wanted to kick Covanent's ass so hard.  Is this series any good?

I used to read the hell out of King and Koontz . . but they all started blendign together and stopped.  If I were to start again, what's teh best of his newer releases?

In Sci-Fi, I'm looking for "The Practice Effect" by David Brin.  I read it as a kid and thought of it the other day and really want to read it again.

My next comic reading will be somethign from the Fable's series.  Good stories.

Read that a couple times myself as well as the Malloreon, Elenium and "The Dreamers"

Actually reading a dogearred copy of "The Stars Like Dust" by Asimov ....thinking about working my way thru all the Galactic Empire stuff again.....I spent a year reading the Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series only to have the guy die before finishing. Pisses me off.......

 

Zubaz....read the Covenant books......it's not the same but still good.....Donaldson did another series....can't remember the name now...it started slow but turned out to be a good set.....one's called "A Man Rides Thru" (all I can remember)

Those were a fantastic series...I read the Belgariad series on my very first six month deployment and then had the entire Malloreon and Elenium mailed to me.  A few years ago I picked up some of the later books that tagged onto the Belgariad.  One was about Belgarath and the other about Poly I think.  Golly those were great reads.
