Identical Strangers, pretty intresting. Just finished the Ugly series.

Intruder in the Dust, by William Faulkner. It's unbelievable.

Finished George Martin's Book Four out of the Song of Ice and Fire series. It's called "A Feast For Crows", to be exact. Exemplary work. Since I'm moving overseas, I felt tempted to toss the book to a friend, or sell it back to the thrift store... but after finding out that it's his latest work, and the series isn't finished, I think I'll hang on to it. Somehow.

Although it's fantasy, I think it's shaping up to be a political thriller rather than the stereotypical sword-and-sorcery type. There's talk of dragons and magic, but it seems so much in the background. Aside, I love the way how one can dive into his series mid-point and still not feel lost at the end. His characterization is excellent, the interwoven stories riveting.

I also found myself rooting for (or continually flipping the chapters based on) Cersei Lannister and Sansa Stark, diametrically different characters. A bit unusual because I normally don't sympathize with the baddie (Cersei), but I put it down to Martin's great writing. Can't wait to see what happens in the next installment.

Confederacy of Dunces was a great book. Funny.
I am reading Seymour, an Introduction, by J.D. Salinger. I liked Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters. I'm one of those kids that likes Catcher in the Rye and is turned on by authors with clever wits. Next is SlaughterHouse Five.

Right now I'm reading the last of a Kim Harrison series called, "A Few Demons More." Great book. This is the second time I've read it and I bet the ending will still make me cry.

Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Sacrifice. Book five in the series. It's a little too politically involved for my taste, but it's about a major character's fall from grace. How can I resist?

Hmm, I can't read just one book at once so here are all the books I'm reading at this time:

Oil! by Upton Sinclair
Frankenstein
Underworld by Graham Hancock
The Silmarillion

and I believe that may be it.

Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley

The first book of his that I've read. I'm only about 50 pages in. It's not bad, but I don't think it's supposed to be one of his best works. I'll try Brave New World next.

Snakes & Ladders

Brave New World was pretty good, I'm more of a 1984 fan when it comes to dystopia's

I'm reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Funny, and satirical. Love it.
