What are you reading? - Kole T. Merr - 03-14-2010
I actually just finished reading the 3rd Percy Jackson and the Olympians book. They're all fairly short reads, but still entertaining. Greek mythology is always fun, and Riordan takes it into the 21st century.
I was disappointed with the Lightning Thief movie, probably because I read the book. I'm fairly certain I would have found the movie more enjoyable had I not read the book first.

I just read Thief of Time by Pratchett, if that counts.
And, first thing when I get back home, I'm re-reading His Dark Materials (Pullman).

I've wanted to get into pratchett for a while now, but the size of his body of work, even for me, is pretty intimidating, Only read the first half of Golden Compass. I can't remember why I stopped. Something distracted me. This happens som

From what I've heard, you can pretty much dip in anywhere. Thief of Time seems to be as good a place as any. And it's pretty light; very Douglas Adams'-ish.
I highly recommend working through His Dark Materials. Once you get moving with it, it's just fabulous.

Pratchett is the shit, he's got a very sarcastic kind of humor. Death is my favorite character in the series.

Yes. The poem was wonderful.
Edit: There's a book out called Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. 'It's basically Pride and Prejudice with zombies,' as a friend put it, 'adhering to the original pride and prejudice writing style.' The author's listed are Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith.

I 100% support this. I love that book.
I am currently reading The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn. It's about finding enjoyment in what you do, no matter what it is that you do.
