So far this year I've only read two books. The first being "Final Analysis" by Catherine Crier w/ Cole Thompson, it's a true crime book and "Mister B. Gone" by Clive Barker. I got about 3/4's of the way through "A Galaxy Not So Far Away", a series of essays on Star Wars from writers and artists, when I got the new Stephen King book called "Duma Key" from the library's Express section, a section for new releases for those that don't want to wait too long on the request list but the catch is you only get it for a week instead of their standard three, so I'm reading that one now. The book is just over 600 pages long and I'm almost half way done, I started it on Friday.

The unbelievable story of one of the lesser-known (but extremely violent) battles of World War 2 - the battle for New Guinea. A must-read for anyone interested in the war.

I read the transcript of a conversation between C.S. Lewis and Brian Aldiss in which they agreed that one doesn't really find the greatness in a book until it is reread (they recommend more than twice!). I'm currently following their advice; just about to finish up the "Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. Next on the list is "Dune" and there is still a collection of A.C. Clarke and Heinlein that I want to review.

^ Those are two of my favourite books... Hitchhiker`s Guide and Dune. Also make sure to read all the Asimov book if you`re into SF Yes, I agree with rereading books...and also re-watching good movies.
Just finished reading both graphic-novels "Persepolis" ...loved them. It was also made into an amazing movie.

Most recently: "Mr Murder" by Dean Koontz. Very good read. I also enjoyed "the Hitchhiker's Guide..." and "Duh! The Stupid History of the Human Race" by Bob Fenster was very enlightening and funny as hell!
