I had to read The Republic for my university dissertation - fascinating book, and it was the only one I studied that didn't drive me round the bend after six months... Currently Reading

I'm currently reading Three men in a boat by Jerome K Jerome - absolutly hilarious! He's a Victorian writer who's actually funny, like a gentler Oscar Wilde.

Ooh, that's tough. American Gods is, perhaps, more polished, since I'm pretty sure Neverwhere was his first novel. Both have pretty similar "young man on a voyage of discovery" plot, and both get really dark really fast. Both have really fun geography and history tidbits, though for different areas. Hmm. I'd go for Neverwhere first, I think.

I hope you enjoy it Spider. Have you read his other books?

I'm rereading Interview with the Vampire. I was going to move straight to The Vampire Lestat, but an advance copy of The Secret Life of Houdini has come my way and the fun of getting to read it before the general public will probably interrupt my Anne Rice marathon.

Nope. This is actually my first book by him. It was actually your comments in this thread about him that made me want to read is stuff. I like vampire novels, so I thought I would start off with this one. I think I am going to read his newest one next, and then Lamb

I hope you like them. I really liked A Dirty Job and Lamb is just amazing. I also highly recommend Fluke, which is my personal favorite of his.

Paris to the Moon

interesting, entertaining, hilarious, heartwarming and a tad heart breaking

I've read three of Moore's books and Lamb is by far my favorite. It's incredible. It made me laugh out loud and cry like a baby. Right now I'm reading Stiff by Mary Roach.

Hobomok's introduction is boring but literarily interesting, as framing devices tend to be. Things get better as you go along- it's one of those "story within a story within a story" deals.

I'm still reading that political theory book, too, plus another one on the same topic by the same author. My thesis is basically another class added on top of my full courseload. I should have gone for an easier major.

I'm currently reading July, July by Timothy O'Brien.
I think it'd make a great film. I can totally see Susan Sarandan playing Spooke.

I found this when I searched for July, July:

Right now it is a book "The Most Evil Secret Societies in History". Very interesting. My next book will be "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham.

The Glass Castle (memoir) - Only about 40 pages into it, but extremely surreal. I really like it.
