It is a very bizarre concept for a book to be linked to an album...you will have to let everyone know whether its good.
I am reading The Stand by Stephen King. I had trouble finding it but finally did.

I just finished Until I Find You by John Irving. This book was a realy disappointment. I love all his other stuff, but this was just overly long, and got really tedious for me. I guess the audience was the psychiatrist and Jack was telling both her and us. Would have been better if it was 200-300 pages shorter. I love Irvings other longer books, but this one just didnt have it.

Yay for the Stephen King love Girls!!! My favourites have to be The Shining and Hearts in Atlantis, follwed by Different Seasons... His books are compulsively readable, which is excellent on the train because it takes me an hr to get to work.

I am reading Skeleton Crew by Stephen King
I love Stephen King. I get shit for it from my boyf, but I just tell him to fuck off, he hasnt read any of the books and dismisses them as horror mills and boon... I just go "excuse me, I have a lit degree and Stephen King doesnt suck!"

OHHH, you mean the movie, I was thinking, Order of the Phoenix is book 5, and I was a bit confused...
I am looking forward to book 7...I havent seen the 3rd or 4th movie, except when I was in tokyo and the 3rd was on and dubbed in japanese and I only watched about 30-40 mins before I went to sleep...It was really funny, its all japanese and then its "Harry" said really loudly, gebus the only word I understood was harry and It was like they said it a million times!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows should be interesting...I wonder how long it will be!

What kind of wrestling? my mum was really into "fake" wrestling when I was younger...now we both cant stand to watch it, its torture! But of course when all the biographies of the old ones are on we watching them, so weird!
I am reading Until I Find You by John Irving... its not brilliant and it seems to be borrowing from all his earlier books...but its very readable...at 800 pages (and probably 2kg), it better be!

^ thats a really good idea...how old is your son, I'm thinking English Honours and thinking Uni and thinking you aint old enough to have a uni aged student!
I'm reading John Steinbecks The Wayward Bus. It is such a good read, although I havent yet crossed a Steinbeck I didnt like.

I am reading Awakenings by Oliver Sacks. Some of you may know the film with Robin Williams and Robert DeNiro.
Oliver Sacks is a fantastic non fiction writer, and Neurolgy is a very very interesting subject.

My public transport book is 'From a Buick 8' by Stephen King. I haven't liked a lot of his later books but this one really has my attention.

hmmn Harry Potter turned out okay...got a bit better in the last 200 pages, but wasnt very exciting at all. THough it was definitely readable, and not completely awful, just not up to the previous books.
Smilla was alright until the end, which kinda was dull and lost the plot. Though not at all what I really expected, but could have been better excuted. The premise for this novel is fantastic, but it kinda loses touch with that.

I recenty started to read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and I am finding it a bit bland so far.
My public transport book is Miss Smillas Feelings for Snow by Peter Hoeg and it is just great. I dont want to get off the train.

I am slowly reading A Son of the Circus by John Irving, its a long, and heavy, book (just why I hate hardcovers but hey it was only $1). Its a bizarre read, probably the most odd of all Irvings books.
I m also reading a book called The Orchard by an australian named Drusilla Modjeska. This is the third time I am reading it. I first read it ages ago and its just really stuck with me, and whenever I need to read it I do, its a great great great read.
