A lot of people consider to be CP's best book, I don't know about that. I loved the way it started out, but I felt it fell apart once it hit the heavy handed religion stuff towards the end. I love how he would make people commit suicide.

I need to read it again, because that book simply demands multiple readings.

I'm currently reading Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" and its excellent

i finished off Lullaby just last week. an awsome book, i must say.

next up is Xenocide by Scott Orson Card. i enjoyed the first two books quite a bit, even though the second dragged on for a little too long.

David Weber's Honor Harrington series, last book. For the moment It's sci fi space opera with a heavy focus on characters and politics. Also a ton of really immensely kickass fleet battles and smaller ship engagements. If you're curious, the first book is available free online, and if you get the hardback of his recent book, ALL of the other books are included on the cd (like, ten of them). Which is wierd and crazy, yet cool.

Also waiting impatiently for that slacker Neal Stephenson to finish his new book.

A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain. And I need to get around to finishing Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. I stopped halfway through even though it's great.

Do you watch his show? I love it He also wrote Kitchen Confidential, dunno if you read that.

Crypto is an amazingly good read, it's just such a crunchy meaty satisfying book. I still like Snow Crash more for the sheer style, but Crypto makes me very curious about his next project.

Battle Royale.

You understand the movie better when you read this. It gives a whole new depth to all of the characters.

Right now I'm reading "Blue Box" by Kate Orman, which is one of the newest Doctor Who books.

(Whenever I come over to England, or one of my family members goes there or visits us from there, one of the two things I ask them to bring back for me are Doctor Who books, as they're much easier to find in England than in the States.)

I've read these books in the last couple of weeks:
House of Leaves
Losing Gemma
A Hearkbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (Check out the other one as well: You Shall Know Our Velocity)
The Virgin Suicides
Right now I'm about halfway through High Fidelity.

Heartbreaking Work's a fantastic book, eh, Icarusfall? There are a lot of similarities between it and Ulysses (one of the best books of the 20th century.)

Victorious Opposition is the third novel in the American Empire storyline, which is a continuation of the Great War series, which is a continuation of the novel How Few Remain. Confused at all?

The Great War series is what I believe you are referring to with the Americans invading Canada. Its a pretty long story (4 books), but what basically happens is that the Conferederate States of America win the American Civil war with the help of England and France, thus setting the stage for a very different World War I:

British Empire (including Canada), France, Russia, CSA, vs. USA, Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire.

All in all a very good read, especially for fans of Alternate History like me.

Well, I now know what I'm reading next month.
