about 3 weeks ago i started reading ![[image loading]](http://www.dreadcentral.com/img/news/may10/utdpaperback.jpg) because spielberg is apparently turning it into a showtime seriesquickly finished it and moved on to ![[image loading]](http://images.wikia.com/lostpedia/images/e/e4/The_Stand_Cover_gve.jpg) which i finished last night.it was an interesting double feature. the books shared a lot of similarities like the idea of selectmen running a small town and the newspaper woman in 'under the dome' seemed to be an expansion of a 3 page interlude in 'the stand'. also im pretty sure the same anecdote is remembered by characters in both books. the 'lost' creators mentioned how much the stand influenced them, it was interesting to read as a huge fan of lost. i hadnt read stephen king since i was in high school. very entertaining. one other thing that stood out to me was his characterizations. he seemed to base most of the characters on stock hollywood/literature characatures (john wayne etc). this is fine on its own, but the way he spelled it out by having characters read or watch media that featured the character they were based on was a bit much. i think this will be next, ordered it on amazon tonight: ![[image loading]](http://students.wharton.upenn.edu/~mih/pictures/books/TheDemonInTheFreezer_large.jpg) | ||

This is actually a really good book, albeit depressing. I read it for school as well a few years ago. Right now, I'm contemplating between a reread of: ![[image loading]](http://s2.hubimg.com/u/259337_f260.jpg) or ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Book-thechamber-lg.jpg) or starting to read ![[image loading]](http://i43.tower.com/images/mm102137304/contact-carl-sagan-paperback-cover-art.jpg) I'm doing that thing where I want to start reading one, but can't decide so I just surf the internet until I go to bed. Want to get out of that habit. | ||

Once I start on this series I always find myself completely sucked in and I have to jump from one book to the next until I'm done and ready to start all over again. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ek3Zy.jpg) Finally finished the Rincewind series of the books now, very happy about that. May need to go reread Lost Continent and whatnot to remind myself how his story continues. Next up on my list though is ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/dpyCA.jpg) | ||

Reading: Dragonlance Chronicles. Pretty generic, not bad though. + Show Spoiler + I didn't expect the dwarf to die of old age of all things, in the middle of an adventure.. Wellwritten though, I felt really sad. Next up: Schoolbooks  | ||

It's kinda heavy on jargon and sometimes it felt like the chapter just wouldnt end. Still, I am glad I finished it, ended up learning quite a few interesting things. Reading Now: ![[image loading]](http://www.themoderndaypirates.com/pirates/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Game-of-thrones.jpg) Game of Thrones - Only about 120 pages in right now, but holy fuck is it good. Why did I wait so damn long to start reading it? So fucking epic. Reading Next: Will be continuing the series afterwards most likely. ![[image loading]](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-y-QYECtSYTw/TWLmeROTKYI/AAAAAAAAC9M/xxgph6LXbAs/s1600/clash%2Bof%2Bkings.jpg) | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.omegasapple.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/alastairreynoldsterminalworld.jpg) I really liked it and Alastair Reynolds is in my opinion one of the best writers of modern Space Opera + Show Spoiler + (dark edged stories about strange races many of which don't resemble Humans in anyway in often in vast universes and containing strange technologies) In this book the bigger path to the end is pretty clear from quit early on, but you really have to pay attention to the little details to figure out what is really happening. How did it become and where is it heading. And for that matter where and when it's taking place. But if you pay attention to those details it leads you to an intriguing scenario. Tonight I'm going to start in one of these. Still need to flip a coin  ![[image loading]](http://www.qbd.com.au/products/l/3110/9780575083110.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://blog.itsfortytwo.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/House-of-suns-207x300.jpg) After that it's time again for something else as SF. Most likely James Clavell's books about the Struan dynasty (Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, Noble House, Whirlwind). Until now I somehow never came around reading those except Tai-Pan although I have read and really liked King Rat and Shogun. While commuting to and from work I'm currently reading and hoping to finish tomorrow: ![[image loading]](http://static.libsyn.com/p/assets/2/b/6/6/2b66be9296afb46a/Werther-Sorrows.jpg) Next up is: ![[image loading]](http://images.contentreserve.com/ImageType-200/1785-1/%7B32EB07AE-E4DB-489A-BE9A-993545830A57%7DImg200.jpg) | ||

![[image loading]](http://media.sfx.co.uk/files/2010/07/dervish-house300.jpg) and I've gotta say it's one of the most brilliant novels I've ever read. This is really well constructed, intellectual, satisfying sci fi set in the near future in Istanbul, Queen of Cities. Highly recommended! | ||

Best one was the one in the beginning, "If This Goes On--," detailing the overthrow of a theocratic United States by former members of its armed forces. | ||
