what are you reading? - Page 5

George R.R. Martin - Storm of Swords
Mika Waltari - Sinuhe Egyptiläinen (The Egyptian)

I thought to read something in finnish by a finn for a change as I noticed that probably 90% of the stuff I read is in English... So I picked up a finnish classic that I've been avoiding way too long. I recommend Waltari's historical novels to anyone who likes the genre, he should be available in translated form AFAIK.
And well, Martin is praised enough in this thread, so nothing about him.

Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller, although I am almost finished with that book; I was reading The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My Life At Rose Red just before that, however. After that I plan to read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson and Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller.

Finally made my way to starting Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller. I haven't thought of anything to line up after that, though, except perhaps a book by James Frey.

Jerry Pournelle - Lucifer's Hammer

The best end-of-the-world novel ever. Truly epic.

i just finished re-reading the fantastic four book called "warzone" it has nothing to do with the movie at all even though marvel put it on bookstore shelves at about the same time the movie hit theaters in this book there are 2 vilians instead of just one and neither one of them is in the movie in the book mr fantastic and the invisible woman have been married a while and have a 13 year old son with a younger daughter and the book is sort of based on the idea that the reader has been following the fantastic four comic books i would totally recomend this book for anyone that's a fan of any of the super hero comic books

Great choice....Golding is underrated classic. Or maybe not underrated but not well known
