Re: What Are You Reading?-#3
I saw Under the Dome in a store, but it was a luxurious one and I can't buy it at the moment. There's no translation, but than again - I prefer the originals, English was never problem for me to understand.
You say that it's good, can you say a bit more without spoilers?
I'm about to go on a ride with Salem't Lot. Just got it, but the translation seems off - it looks like the person who did it doesn't know their own language and it hurts my brain to read it - that's what I can tell from the start. Oh well. I'll just have to get over it

^^^ I wrote a bit about Under the Dome back on page 10 of this thread, if that helps. I really enjoyed it too.

I'll take a look. I read this thread whole, BabaOReilly, but I must have missed it somehow. Thanks
I found and read your post. How it got past me I'll never know. King often writes about the entire population of some small place/town. Even when the story is all about individual characters there is always at least a part about a group as some kind of entity (be it smaller group of people or entire place). I adore his style, and he's one of the few writers that can still creep/scare me. Not much does anymore, I am seasoned horror reader/watcher.
The book looked fat. I mean, really BIG. I have to buy it soon, I'll work on it. It costs like three more expensive books, but I know it'll be worth it. It even looks beautiful, all blue and with more than standard hard cover, and so shiny....
Oh, I think that I'm in love hehe.

I am currently reading a very good book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" penned down by J K Rowling. She has written about 6 books and all of these were gifted to me by a friend of mine for Christmas. He knows this kind of books I like. I am enjoying reading this book.

Re: What Are You Reading?-#3
Just finished with Halo: The Fall of Reach. Although I've never played the game I must admit I really liked the book. Granted, it's not a literary milestone but it's well written and an exciting read.
I've started with the second novel, The Flood, and will definitely read the rest of the novels, too.

Dan Brown - Deception point
From the start, I thought the story seemed to be confusing. As I based it on the little I knew about it. But the more I actually read it (am halfway now), the more I like it. The interest kinda 'grows' and makes the book still worth watching. Otherwise, I would had given up early. Still looks very promising. I like the way Brown writes.

I am reading Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass (she is an awesome mystery writer), Grave Matters (a CSI novel, what a surprise!), and re-reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I love books, you can never have enough of them! Also, one of my sisters bought the British version of Sense and Sensibility for me for Christmas which I am very much looking forward to reading...it is one of my all time favorite stories (and movies).

i'm reading "to a god unknown" by steinbeck, which i'm loving, as i usually do steinbeck books.
i'm also listening to gary sinise reading the audiobook of "travels with charley", also by steinbeck, and it's utterly, utterly wonderful, he reads really well and it's a very entertaining book <3
