Another Philip K. Dick book: The Man in the High Castle.
It's an alternate history post WW2 after the Axis Power defeated the Allies.

Haven't started this yet, the GF picked up for me since I'm a Kirino fan

Reading some creepy pastas right now. I really enjoy it, especially now during Halloween. Lights are off and the only the glow of my laptop remain. Makes for some good ghost stories.
The first third is pretty good and then it gets a little too ridiculous as he attempts to pigeonhole every and any paranormal/unexplainable event within his theory of everything.
My copy of Scorsese on Scorsese came in the other day and I'm looking forward to starting that. I've read Lynch on Lynch from the same series and I really enjoyed the interview style. Herzog on Herzog and Fellini on Fellini are also on my list.
how are these books. I like my fantasy books and just about to finish Magician's end by Raymond E Feist.Book two of The Malazan Book of the Fallen series
I just finished Time of Contempt. The second book in the Witcher series. Now I just have to wait for them to translate Baptism of Fire.
If it's the book I'm thinking of, I think there was a volume II as well. They were texts for my Art History I and II classes respectively.
Hard to get into to be honest, the author bombards you with names, phrases, places and people without much explanation so it can be hard at first to understand what is going on.
He even acknowledges this in the preface.
But if you can get past the first third of the first book it all starts to come together, and it's about as fantastical as fantasy books get with wizards, assassins, sorcerers, thieves, gods, dragons, demons and rich lore all thrown into the mix.
I'd recommend it and there is tons of books to get, I love my fantasy series to be long
Cheers buddy. Will download the first book over the weekend.Hard to get into to be honest, the author bombards you with names, phrases, places and people without much explanation so it can be hard at first to understand what is going on.

Yeah, never got to Art History II so never picked up the book, but I'm super interested in it now and I guess I'm stuck finding someone re-selling it somewhere at a decent price. But so far these things are WAY out of my price range, the pell grant got me this one... can't be doing it that way again lol.
Well my internet brothern, if you want to ship it to a sob like myself. I'm more than willing to accept. I'm kind of out of the realm of even paying for shipping at the moment. But I thank you very much for the nod towards hooking me up either way. I'm all about knowledge but can't afford a pencil to write the word with.
Hmmm, forgot we had this thread. I recently finished...
I am going to start reading books I should have read in school but for one reason or another, didn't. So will be starting....

I'm reading a sci-fi magazine called Analog. Had a great short story in it called Flight Life. I recommend it. Very cool mag.
John Dies at the End
Saw the movie, glad I got the book. It was some weird entertaining reading.

Finished of Mice and Men today. Interesting book. Steinbeck did a fantastic job at getting so much depth and detail in to such a short read.
Up next...

So, I Skipped 1984( will read next) for now and started reading
I only really read it cause somebody described it as "Mystic River" type deal. Anyway, after what was a good first half of chapter one it has become a much slower read. Grrrrr. Only 25% in ( why don't Kindle show page numbers?) though.
