I think you can manage. That book is easily read in one sitting. It's very good, too.

Currently reading Raven's Gate and I am America (And so can you!)

Skylark, I finally got to reading Howl's Moving Castle.
I've only read the first chapter and I'm absolutely in LOVE with it. Much better than the movie. wub;


Oh god, yes. The movie was disappointing to me. saddood;

Also, I just finished Watchmen. Pretty badass.

And wasn't Calcifer voiced by billy Crystal or am i mistaken?


Affirmative.


I actually thought they did a great job with the movie, they changed a bit around and chopped some things out entirely but it worked for it and it was still a fantastic story. And the movie had a way better ending than the book did.
the book of right on

I liked how Christian Bale used his Batman voice in it at one point.

Velocity by Dean Koontz is pretty good. I really enjoy all of his books.

Wrench

Finished Raven's Gate.

Now onto focusing entirely on I Am America (And So Can You!)

Read it. It's really short and it's loads better than Atlas Shrugged.

Hiro

Yeah, that was the plan... but The Fountainhead has a due date so it takes priority.

Skylark

Naked Lunch and 100 Years of Solitude.
