Ditto here. I used to go to the shakespear festivial in orlando to watch the plays. I saw...the Tempest, Hamlet, and MacBeth....unfortunatly I missed the Taming of the Shrew.

I did, however, see and read Cyrano De Bergerac. I liked it quite a bit.

Lets see....what I'm reading now? a bit of everything I can suffer. I need reading glasses so I can only read a few pages at a time.

Most recently I'm reading the new Harry Potter book...and i just got the new Halo book...and a novel seris about wolves/shapeshifters. So hopefully I'll pick it up soon.

Ahh, good ol' HP. Always a winner.

Cyrano De Bergerac. Lovely. I love it. If you ever see any of the movies, go for the one that was made, I think, in the 30's. It's in black and white, and is wonderfully done. It's my favorite.

I'm on the Steven King's 'Lisey's Story'. Though I still have a few chapters left of 'Running With Scissors'.

*discordiatookie* · 11-13-2006, 01:40 PM

finished Lisey's Story last night, was very awesome, classic king! even added a wee thing in my sig afterwards... dunno what i'll pick up next, probably either neil gaiman's anansi boys or his new one (which i think is lotsa short stories)...

*discordiatookie* · 12-11-2006, 03:00 PM

I know i done the last post but that was like, weeks ago!

right now i'm working through the Sandman collection (again!) Right now i'm on A Game of You (book 5) Gaiman rocks!

oh, i also picked up this month's Playboy magazine today. I know, i know, perv! haha but there's a new Stephen King short in it called Willa and i just couldnt resist. Haven't read it yet, but Playboy is NOT what i was expecting! (its actually rather classy, thousands of articles and hardly any scud! i mean, WTF?!) it was kinda emabarrasing buying it though

*Anarky* · 12-11-2006, 04:35 PM

Playboy is actually one of the better magazines. And it has quite a lot of informants working for it, so it has good up-to-date stories. The people at my newspaper read it religiously, because they have the newest news on stars and trends in a man's world. And the Playboy-people are damn good researchers too.

Lady Venus · 12-29-2006, 01:53 PM

Eragon again fer the 4 times.

**Jo Dawn** · 12-29-2006, 11:01 PM

Yesterday (yes, yesterday, as in JUST yesterday) I read the entirety of The Book of Bright Ideas.

It was a good read, albiet sad.

Venom Symbiote · 01-02-2007, 01:16 AM

I'm currently reading through the "Everworld" series by K.A. Applegate. Really awesome little saga, I guess for a 'young adult' (i.e. probably late teenage) reading age. As in, the writing style is fairly simple, but the content itself is pretty...hardcore. Nothing too graphic, but definitely wouldn't want to have a middle-schooler or someone dealing with it.

It's kind of an interesting take on mythology, all the Greek/Egyptian/Norse/Roman/Mayan gods creating this kind of alternate universe, taking a section of humanity with them and abandoning the real world. A group of average kids from Chicago get drawn in there to close the gateway or some crap, it's actually pretty good reading.

Written by the same lady as that old Animorphs kid's series.

MadPirateBunny · 01-02-2007, 10:23 PM

Obsidian Butterfly by Laurel Hamilton.
ANITA BLAKE ROCKS!

*discordiatookie* · 01-03-2007, 11:10 AM

The Zombie Survival Guide, (complete protection from the living dead) by Max Brooks. It's the abridged version, which i got free with a magazine. I really wanna buy the proper book now, and i'm only like, 20 pages in...

Death's Head · 01-04-2007, 06:23 PM

I'm reading Wolverine: Weapon X. It's a paperback novel adaption of an actual story arc that occured within Wolverine's life. It's deemed a "modern day Frankenstein tale" or something similar.

*cowabunga14* · 01-04-2007, 07:19 PM

My English class recently started reading Night by Elie Wiesel. I thought I would completely have no interest in the book when I received it, but it kinda grew on me. I'm glad the book won a Nobel Peace Prize, even though its about 110 pages long. Seeing as it has to do with World War II, it'll probably more intense than I expect it to be. As long as its good, I'll read it.

Time Mistress · 01-13-2007, 10:05 AM

I've got so many books on my shelf it's not funny. But then I work in a bookstore.

Zorro by Isabel Allende
Rowan Hood series by Nancy Springer
The Story of the Phantom by Lee Falk
Harry Potter 6 (gotta finish before the last one comes out)
Huntress: Darknight Daughter trade paperback

Hopefully I can finish most of that this month.

**Jo Dawn** · 01-15-2007, 09:41 AM

Hurry with HP6!! Hehe. I finished that one in less than a day. I couldn't put it down! Same with the 5th one. My friend and I shared a copy, as we were on vacation when it came out. She read it first, then passed it on to me, and we both read it in less than a day.

I can't wait for 7.

And, um... I'm reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter right now.

*Warhorse* · 01-15-2007, 09:28 PM

I'm contemplating on reading Tolkeins Silmarillion. People say it's a difficult piece. Has anyone read the book? Is it difficult?

Lady Venus · 01-18-2007, 12:46 PM

This is the last book I read twice.

*discordiatookie* · 01-22-2007, 12:37 PM

Congratulations, you have just met the Aberdeen Soccer Casuals by Dan Rivers....

its about one man's account of the football violence he was a part of from 1983 to 1989. its all true incidents, some of its funny, some of its scary, most of its just mental. aberdeen in the 80's was said to be the hardest firm during the 80s in scotland and was the first to bring the 'casual' side to football violence (instead of skinheads and 'scarfers' ((people in their team colours)) the casuals wore very trendy and expensive clothes, seemingly.) i aint a football hooligan, nor will i ever will be, but this is a great book! most probably cos most of its based in and around aberdeen, near places i grew up (and my work was even mentioned in it a couple of times!!)

comet_an_me · 01-22-2007, 12:41 PM

Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, by Douglas Adams, one of the best books ever written i think.

Lady Venus · 01-23-2007, 03:39 PM

I just read Full Metal Alchemist Vol. 8
