Today I read: The book thread

[tt3]

Oh boy, man, working for a marketing firm and posting a link in your post... I don't mean to be a dick but that reeks of poor form.

Sick balls, Chopper!

Wasn't trying to come off bad, just I saw the promo materials at work and that caused me to want to read the book. I posted the link so you guys could see the trailers I saw. Yeah I do work for a marketing firm as well, but I will be enjoying the movie this weekend all the same

No worries, at least you are still posting. It's all good. Welcome to the site, introduce yourself in the introduction section!

I'm reading "Family Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense"
"The Scar" by China Mieville
about a bunch of prisoners and slaves, genetically remade and disfigured being transported to a colony
and "The Last Town on Earth" by Thomas Mullen
about a town under quarentine during the spanish flu.

All this while listening to "Going Postal" by Terry Pratchet.

Just finished Mother Night by Vonnegut, I had put off on reading it as the plot summary seemed so different than everything else I had read by him, but it was a great read, he pulled it off in true Vonnegut style, it was dark, hilarious and just great. I have some short stories of his I am starting on next.

Bagomba snuff box, Vonnegut short stories, two thumbs up, if you like short stories give them a go, they are great.

I just finished "Armegeddon in Retrospect", which is a posthumous collection of previously unpublished Vonnegut stories and letters. If you're a Vonnegut fan, I recommend it. Lots of Dresden stuff.

thanks for the heads up, I hadn't run across that one before, I'll have to look for it

Just finished book three of the Percy Jackson series. Much better than the movie, but can see alot of "borrowed" ideas from HP.
