    Guardians Of The Lost - Volume 2 of the Sovereign Stone Trilogy
    by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman

    Definately some of my favorite writers I read all their other series they've done together, good stuff.

    Recently finished up Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings, the Belgariad's looking to be a good series.

    Currently awaiting the next Wheel Of Time novel by Robert Jordan and trying to get around to reading Faith of the Fallen by Terry Goodkind from his Sword Of Truth series.

    Also waiting for the next book after The Bone Doll's Twin by Lynn Flewelling. Good Book.

    And attempting to write my own fantasty novel.

    PS
    Anyone know of a good vampire series like that of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Scratch that, nothing can compare to Anne Rice, but a good series of vampire novels where the vampire is the hero and not the villian? Thanks.

    This is your life

    I am devouring Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. It is an amazing book that was developed into an amazing movie. Highly recommended if one is up for questioning societies definitions of reality.

    The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy!!

    Seriously one of the most amusing books I've read in a long time, I'm trying to get all my friends to read it. I know, I know, I'm reading it kind of late, but hey, better late than never.

    Tom Wolfe

    The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test

    And may I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in Drug Culture. From whatever angle.

    And aside from that it's a "Ripping Yarn"

    Does anyone say that still in this day and age?

    "Ripping Yarn?"

    Christ, you can tell it's Monday.

    Beyond Good and Evil --Friedrich Nietzsche
    Developing some critiques of his idea of "higher" culture. Pretty much crap, IMO. For some reason his critiques both of democracy and women just reek of something a slave moralist would say. I am not even fucking kidding.

    Clay's Ark -- Octavia Butler

    I like her stuff. Very "dark" and disturbing scifi, and yet infinitely plausible.

    Rowan:

    "Fight Club" is genius, have you read "Choke" or Palchunik's new book?

    "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens. No one surpasses Dickens for astute observation. This book is perhaps his best, a classic of classics.
