What are you reading Chapter 4

#123
I just finished reading "Return Of The Aliens" by Ruth Ann Nordin. Very easy, went by quick. Story is basically about demons and fallen angels who pose as benevolent aliens to distract and enslave mankind prior to the "final battle" between God and Satan. Difficulty level is about on par with any Stephen King novel.

LOL Don`t thank me,thank the 3-eyed,claw-handed Dogon race!

Dang,you should have hit me up,fnordlyone,I`d have gifted you my mp3-cd burn of a VALIS audiobook! Great narrator,btw. Honestly,I can`t even discuss VALIS with anyone....yeah,they immediately press a wooden crucifix against my forehead.....*ssssssiiiizzzzssss*

Ok, Horselover Fat, I`m melting so......ciao!


OOPS! Sorry,nukes_da_bass forgot all about you,bro! A SCANNER DARKLY is one of PKD`s better works,imho. Didn`t like the movie? I hated it at first,then viewed it a 2nd time...I mean really paid attention...and I liked it. Kind of weird quasi-animation though.

Later!

I go through weird phases where I read voraciously for weeks and weeks, and then have dry spells where I read nothing for pleasure purposes. I think I'm just coming out of the non-reading phase as I recently picked up, "Washington's Crossing" by David Hacket-Fischer. It's a non-fiction account of George Washington's army crossing the Delaware River and surprising the enemy army at Trenton. It's not as good as his book, "Paul Revere's Ride", but it's still greatly worth reading because it teaches all the stuff you should have learned in school but didn't/don't.

I'm definitely in a reading frenzy phase!

I just finished off Robin Hobbs Tawny Man Trilogy. I plowed through them after reading the Farseer Trilogy. She hasn't wrote a bad book as near as I can tell. I'm already half way through the first book of the Liveship Traders Trilogy. I also have all of the Soldiers Son series and the Rain Wild series waiting in the wings. I can't put them down!

God that is such an incredible novel! Bit of a booger trying to explain the whole premise and plot to someone though. lol I believe I read/heard somewhere that there were 2 editions(?)printed.One being slightly edited i.e. raped...I mean abridged... and another which contained either more or longer selected chapters,etc. Hard to believe Richard Adams took such an innocent,pastoral milieu and made it believable--with a human-esque totalitarian and wicked "government". Killer read!

You`ve seen the ca. 1970`s animated motion picture(I hope)? Very dark and quite the fine adaptation of the novel. Shoot me a PM if you are interested in the dvd. *wink,wink*

He's absolutely fantastic. If you get the chance I highly recommend Imajica. The imagery evoked is beautiful, the philosophy intense and the story well done. Apparently most of his ideas for it came from dreams and so he wrote about 14 - 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for 14 months.
