Coincidence? I think not. I bought my copy at the beginning of the month. I was gonna buy a book on horror movies instead, but the images were quite disturbing and it was more costly. Since I saw Volume 4 in Marvel Previews, that gave me an idea of when it was coming out.

Currently reading Boudica: Dreaming the Eagle... the first book in a 4 book saga about...Boudica!

Im looking for the last 2 books in the series...I really want em...I love anything to do with the Roman times.

Also will soon be getting Kushiel's Scion. The 4th book in the series (I actually thought it ended after the 3rd but this is the 1st one of a new trillogy). I love the Kushiel saga!

Next year tho... ah next year... I can't wait for Raven of Avalon (the newest book in Marion Zimmer Bradley and Diane L. Paxton's Avalon series) to come out! Altho I don't know where Boudica fits in with King Arthur (that's who it's about.. Boudica).

Shaman King Vol. 1

Jo269976 · 08-24-2006, 11:28 AM

The Zombie Survival Guide, then I'm gonna read Resident Evil: Archives.

Lady Venus · 08-30-2006, 12:53 PM

I have read Shaman King Vol. 1,2,3,4, and 6.

*cowabunga14* · 08-31-2006, 05:40 PM

The Journey Home which is a book that I should've finished a long time ago.

Hey, at least I'll have another chance to do just that.

Lady Venus · 09-07-2006, 02:13 PM

Ranma 1/2 vol. 6 and 7

**Jo Dawn** · 10-30-2006, 06:08 PM

Being on vacation, I'm actually having time to read! So I'm reading 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan'.

So far, it's a facinating look into the rituals and lives of 19th century China and the women living at that time.

*cowabunga14* · 10-30-2006, 07:13 PM

In my English class, we're reading Macbeth, which is pretty good so far. We started Act III today and that's getting interesting. I was satisfied with Romeo and Juliet when I read that in ninth grade, so hopefully this'll turn out to be just as good.

**Jo Dawn** · 10-30-2006, 07:15 PM

Ahh, yes, the Bard. Excellent reading all around. Macbeth is no exception. I love Shakespeare. Have you gone through his sonnets? Very good, as usual.

*cowabunga14* · 10-30-2006, 07:54 PM

I remeber reading a lot of his sonnets in ninth grade, which were very good like you said. They were as enjoyable as I remember them being.

*KROW* · 11-01-2006, 12:23 AM

Macbeth is excellent; much better than Romeo and Juliet. There's more depth to the characters.

Ra · 11-01-2006, 04:08 AM

^^ I agree completely. Remorse, voilence, decapitations...so much better than emo kids

Speaking of Shakespear, I just read "The Twelfth Night", a small play that he wrote. Absolutly hilerious stuff!

(I, of corse, was reading the "No Fear Shakespare!" version, with a complete English translation inside XD). I must say, it is a nice change of scenery from McBeth. There are so many webs of suduction cast that just about everyone gets caught up in one thing or another

**Jo Dawn** · 11-04-2006, 09:43 PM

Finished 'Snow Flower' a few days ago, and read most of Running With Scissors yesterday.

*discordiatookie* · 11-06-2006, 04:16 PM

Lisey's Story by Stephen King...

just started it today, am on page 67, its pretty good!!!!

**Jo Dawn** · 11-06-2006, 07:46 PM

Ooh, I wanted that! I'll have to pick it up next time I see it on sale.

Steven King is always good. Cell was awesome. If you haven't read that, go read it!

*KROW* · 11-07-2006, 08:20 AM

I got that the other day, as well. I haven't had much time to read it, since I'm still heavily into another novel. But, it sounds very interesting from the info on the dust jacket. Cell I haven't read yet, either, nor Buick 8, or even the tail end of the Dark Tower series.

However, I do have them, and I do intend to read them, but most likely I'll get around to it when I'm 50.

*discordiatookie* · 11-07-2006, 03:36 PM

believe me when i say that i am a MASSIVE stephen king fan... more his books than his movies (they always seem kinda lame, just dont translate that well on the screen, although there are a few classics - green mile, stand by me, misery, shawshank redemption, the shining, etc)

looking at the books list on his latest (lisey's story - im on page 113 now!!) i've read them all (and own) except from : cycle of the werewolf, danse macabre, and on writing...

my favourites are the dark tower series (especially bk 4, wizard and glass), hearts in atlantis, the stand, and the two with peter straub - the talisman and black house... if i could only read them books for the rest of my life i would not be sad...

i cannot wait for the comic based on the dark tower to be released, man i hope its amazing!!!
