I read that a couple of years ago. Very interesting read.

I'm burned out on "serious" literature (seven years as an English major, yay!), so I've been reading through Terry Pratchett's Discworld series since it is well written and entertaining. Read Mort first since I had heard it was a good book, and now I've been going through the others in order. Currently almost done with Equal Rites.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, by Hunter S. Thompson. It's written in a pretty schizophrenic style, and I've never seen the movie so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I kinda like it. After that I'm planning to hopefully knock out The Crying of Lot 49 (Thomas Pynchon), As I Lay Dying (William Faulkner), and The Bird's Nest (Shirley Jackson). I previously began reading all three of those but put them on the back burner for some reason or another.

I might also give The Long Walk (Stephen King/Richard Bachman) another read in the near future because it was really compact and had a mean-spiritedness that was kind of surprising and refreshing. It wasn't particularly scary, but the concept was vile enough that I'm still thinking about it months later. Apparently most of the Bachman books were like that and stand in pretty sharp contrast with King's usual "friendship conquers all and the good guys usually win" stuff.

A bunch of 40k stuff. Got done with the Night Lords Trilogy and Grey Knights Omnibus. Aaron Dembski Bowden is easily my favorite Black Library Author. The way he fleshes out his characters makes them so incredbly interesting and he doesn't go overly into detail trying to describe things. His pacing for the Night Lords Novels where superb and Im so looking forward to cracking into the Emperors Gift. At the moment I'm trying to finish up the Ravenor omnibus. Just got done with the first part and was pretty entralled with it. So far Im enjoying it more then I am Eisenhorn when I first read it which is pretty surprising cause I thought Eisenhorn was fantastic.

Anyway yeah, nerding out with Warhammer! Its been keeping me sane since I still don't have internet in my room and my own personal laptop just kicked the bucket and I don't have a TV to play any games on it.

Scratch what I said before. I've been meaning to re-read the Hobbit, and I found this gorgeous, leather-bound pocket edition at Barnes & Noble the other day. That's going to take priority for now.

Last week of the Sunday comics. Gotta love the humor in Garfield comic strips.

I just finished A Memory of Light, the final book of The Wheel of Time series. It's been a good run, and I find myself satisfied with the ending.

I read the final issue of Nintendo Power. They had a poster of all the front cover art from the beginning to the finale. I disliked how it had little to read but I smiled when they brought Nester (he was sorta like a mascot for nintendo power) back to make a final appearance in the last issue.

Hi All,
Bought "The diamond compendium" of Deedee Cunningham last week and like to say if someone has any interest in diamond then must check this book. This book has a complete rang of diamonds origin and their properties, through mining and the four Cs of grading. Marketing, to modern high tech treatments, fancy coloured diamonds and synthetics.
