I have been listening to the Enders Game books. I'm on the last of the original series 'Chilren of the Mind' at present. Orson Scott Card is the friggin Man.

I am currently reading three books:
"Cnut; England's Viking King" (history) An historical novel called "The Last Kingdom"set in 9th century Britain, by Bernard Cornwell ( who writes fabulous historical fiction if anyone likes that sort of thing. He writes around all periods, from Dark ages through to second world war) and "An Introduction to Latin" (text book) Am also rather enjoying "Possessing the Secret of Joy" by Alice Walker (of Colour Purple fame) For some reason I have an annoying ( to me) habit of getting interested in several books at a time hehe Mostly though I am reading Cnut, because I know very little about him. My knowledge of that period doesnt really stretch further back than Edward the Confessor. Next I want to find a book about Aethelred ( The Unready :P) and then I think Athelstan ( 1st King to unite all England ) Last edited by DanaC; 10-19-2005 at 10:10 AM. Reason: Misspell |

I'm re-reading A World Lit Only By Fire. Fabulous, remarkable, readable book. Also, Travesties, by Stoppard.

I think that's part of the essential charm of the thread.
Even if it does make me crazy every time I see it.
