Topically enough, a few essays from 'The Cyberculture Reader' by David Bell and Barbara Kennedy. Funky stuff about how we're all functionally cyborgs due to the amount of time we spend using computers, cars and televisions as an extention of our own minds and bodies. Also an interesting deconstructivist look at Blade runner and the Terminator movies.
Paradise Lost by Milton.
Profound book which is utterly readable, even though it is an epic poem. Blew me away

The Diary of a Nobody by George Grossmith and Weedon Grossmith
Incredibly humorous book written in Victorian England. Characterisation is wonderfully blasé.

I was about 200 pages into Stephen King's The Stand before I got bored and left it, before that I last re-read Dark Calling By Darren Shan, In the demonata series (Has Dark Calling been released in the US yet?) It felt like it was just a filler book to explain some of the story and to pad the number in the series to 10...

Standard gorpy chick fantasy. Flat, predictable, and outright ridiculous in parts, I wouldn't have read past the first page if there had been anything else I could read.

That's "Is belief in god good, bad or irrelevant?". It sounds really boring, but it's actually seriously interesting. It's a compilation of e-mails sent between Preston Jones, a devout catholic university teacher, and Greg Graffin, lead-singer of the well-known punk band Bad Religion and devout naturalist.
I don't know how I would end it as I'm no author, but any ending that has me flicking around the last few pages, checking I haven't missed anything, is probably a poor ending.xenos60 said:
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. Excellent book, especially if you haven't been exposed to African culture before and take an interest in the colonization of Africa.
Library of The Dead and by God was it stupid. Aside from the entire book time-hopping, the entire thing was just unintelligent, smarmy and..well..it was like reading the script for a bad cop show.
