    I own 2 of those books, those are great.
    I am in no way responsible for the above post. It was my hand's fault. Bad hand.

    If you're a Carlin fan, then those books certainly have appeal.

    Reading Absolute Friends--John le Carre...absolutely spectacular, so far and I haven't even finished half of it. Isn't very fast-paced but yet is making it very difficult for me to put it down. Lines like "And tomorrow I get you a desk for your Germanistic, we put it over there under the window. That way you get daylight. If you fart too much, if I don't like you at all, I ask you nicely to fuck off. Okay?" just make it all the more better

    I'm currently reading The Da Vinci Code. So far it's good, but I also thought Angels and Demons was alright and I ended up hating it more and more after that.

    After what?

    Anyway, both of them are very good books, alot of reaserch has gone into both of them. But please don't read Deception Point or Digital Fortress, and if you do, read them with absolutely no expectations of what you got from the other two--you will be disappointed.

    Legacy of the Drow by R.A. Salvatore. Incredible series. If you enjoy fantasy literature, or RPG video games, check it out. It features one of the most beloved characters of Fantasy history... Drizzt.

    Besides the stuffs that on my literary syllabus, I'm very much into William Faulkner right now. Just finished "Light in August", and it's the best book on race I ever read. Faulkner will grow on you long after finishing the last page...

    Black House is good. Though if you go into it expecting something something exactly like The Talisman, you'll be dissapointed. Even though it's a sequal of sorts to that book, it treads on different territory. Well, different enough. Yeah, it's hard to explain. Anyway, it's a good book though, so you won't regret reading it.

    I'm reading Stephen King's The Dark Tower VI: Song of Suzzanah. This book. WOW. It's amazing.
