I am a real bookworm. I much prefer to read a book and listen to music than watch TV. Two books you might like in the sort of romantic-ish genre Soot are The Best A Man Can Get by John O'Farrell and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. They are not really romances but more about life in a quirky kind of way. I enjoyed them.

Thanks Sunny! I've heard about the latter of the two but not the former! Time to go visit the local library soon!

Umm i'm reading Steven King's "dream catcher" It is the first Steven King I've ever read and I'm rather imressed. I'm a sucker for alien and stuff and he really manages to propperly drag you into it.

I have just started to read "Through The Eyes Of Magic". This is an 880 page book about life with Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band by John French who was the drummer in the band on and off from 1966 until 1982.

The first I ever heard L.Ron Hubbard was as novelist . My older brother read his sci-fi books when we were kids.

I was pretty confused when Tom Cruise and others started talking about a religion founded by L.Ron Hubbard...?

Still confused lol

but his novels are very good

"The Dark Knight"...a manual for the new video card I installed yesterday,,,

Pretty boring stuff but so far everything is working as it should.

I think I will read LOTR again soon, it's been a few years since I embarked on a Tolkien marathon.

^^^ Wierd Just finished the "Fellowship" for the umpteenth time which Tray thinks is strange behaviour, I think it's about the best form of escape there is. About to start "Two Towers".

Nothing wrong with that Sox, I get something out of LOTR every time I read them...must have read them well over 20 times in my lifetime.

I'll take some pictures of my editions, I wore out so many paperbacks I finally bought a set that will outlive me for sure.

I've read the majority of Stephen King's books ( including the Richard Bachman titles ) and I own about half of them. I think once you start you'll get hooked. Some of my favorites are The Stand, The Shining, It, The Talisman ( with Peter Straub), Insomnia...if you like sci-fi type stuff you might try The Tommyknockers.

In high school I took a class called Individualized Reading where we just read books and did book reports. I read every Alistair MacLean book they had...always good, fast-paced stories.
