LOTR came up in a LST, and it reminded me that, at one point, I wanted to read The Silmarillion, but never got around to it. Now that I have some time, I've started digging in. Pretty great read so far.

I'm in the middle of that right now. Probably my third time to read it.

Recently read that. I dug it. Not my favorite of his but still good.
I'm currently reading Snuff on the train. (Silmarillion @ home.)

Snuff was great. I like most of his stuff, Pygmy was a damn challenge though with the broken English. Great though, nonetheless.

I'm not too far in to it yet, but I really like it so far

Journey to the End of the Night by Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Haven't really started reading yet, but i'm pretty excited.

i just started "The things they Carried" by tim o'brien. never read any of his stuff, but so far i like the writing style a whole lot. Its about Vietnam, which ususally does nothing for me, but again, the style of storytelling is really solid.

awesome and really easy read. and better than the movie

Very odd book I've never heard of, xmas gift from my brother.

...still not finished with "the NOW habit"

Started reading "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy again. Saw that another author has written a sixth book in the series and it is going to be released in October, don't really know how I feel about that, even if he was given the blessing of Douglas Adam's widow.

Time Travelers Wife

Interesting so far. Not sold on it yet, but has a pretty sci-fi premise with an underlying love story theme thing going on.
