Been doing
a lot
of reading over the last few months. Got a Nook for Christmas. The last few Warcraft books I hadn't tracked down yet, all of Atomic Robo, and a few gaming history books. Have a complete (or to current, anyway) run of Fables, Hellboy, Xanth and all of Forgotten Realms waiting for me.
Edit: And I meant to post this in the reading topic, pardon.

Guns of the South by Harry Turtledove.
This book sure does jump into the story quickly

Catch-22 is fantastic. Please give it a read. It's one of the better books forced upon high school students in Florida.
Finished up the last of the trilogy for the Baldur's Gate novels while my wife was in the ER. It seems the only time I take to read these days is doctor and ER visits.

I have not one, but two book hauls to post still. With all the packing and moving I just tossed them aside with my other books for now until I unpack them, now they're all that's left and will likely be my weekend project.
I wonder if I snagged anything that Shadow's missing or been hunting for years? It almost always seems to happen.

Oh, I'm sure... It's a desert wasteland in my area. Speaking of which though, the Gainesville sale is this month... Considering that I tend to come away with $100+ of books everytime, I'll see if I can make it.

Grabbed a copy of Murakami's 1Q84 (complete) over the weekend.
Has anyone here read it before? Is it as obtuse as some would have me believe?
I'm as intrigued as I am intimidated by it.
EDIT: Just after I posted this I saw Rich posted that he is reading this book in the what are you reading thread. Still, anyone else who has finished it, I'm interested in what you thought.

i haven't read it myself but i've heard mixed reviews about it. I'm not sure but i think it's postmodern in style, is that right Rich? i haven't read much, if anything, that is postmodern as far as i know but from what i can tell that might be a turn-off for some people. All hearsay though as i haven't read it like i said. i see it circulating regularly at the library i work at so there must be something to it considering the popularity.

I'm going to start it today so Rich and I can talk about it as we go. Plus it's a tome and I have two five hour plane rides next week so I'd like to at least put a dent in it and cruise through a lot of it on the plane.
Jaime, grab a copy at the library and join us?

Tell you what - I've been meaning to read Murakami for a long time. I have an extremely large book sale I'm going to this weekend, so I'll keep a look out for a copy. What "genre" would you say it's listed under, so that I can make a beeline for it when I get there? I loosely say "genre", since the sale organizes things oddly sometimes, and they'll split books into "Foreign" even if the language is English.

I would say sci-fi. It's also listed by Google as "Alternate History."
When I have a chance I'm going to start an OT for this book, so that you, Rich, anyone else who wants to join, and I can discuss the book as we go through it. Very exciting!
EDIT:
Ok here it is.

Sci-Fi? I'll definitely be through that section, so I'll keep a look out. Alternate History is an interesting genre popularized by Henry Turtledove, who I have a ton of books from.
