I'm reading The Stand. About half-way through. It started well, got boring for awhile and seems to be picking up again.
I was surprised at how well it kept my attention.

Any good? I loved Neverwhere, thoroughly enjoyed American Gods, and liked Anansi Boys.

Yesterday I finished a novel called "The American". It was one of those uberterrorist-wants-to-destroy-the-US type story.

Cell by Stephen King. Pretty good. I had abandoned King during his Rose Madder-Delores Claiborne-Geralds Game-Gunslinger crap phase from the early 90's, but this looked like a return to his old style, so I gave it a go. It's a lot more like the early 'Salems Lot/Carrie days than his more pretentious epics. A good, semi-braindead read that keeps you turning pages.

Darkfall by Dean Koontz

I've thought about the Isaac Asimov series. Are his books any good?

Ah, research. I haven't done any recreational reading in a long time, unless cookbooks count.

I started reading the 'new' Carl Sagan book, "The Varieties of Scientific Experience: A Personal View of the Search for God". Unfortunately the book was missing half of the main chapter I wanted to read so now I'm waiting for the library to get a new copy.

got about half way through that one then put it down. One of the more dry books on quantum mechanics that i've read. String theory is just too theoretical for me

the author has some kind of hard on for Meriweather Lewis and the other cold cases are just boring.

i'm trying to find a good book about celtic and irish mythology. i did order one so i hope its good. i want like the original stories, not some dictionary.
