Sahlawayhi 1: Graded Stories for Beginners (I have actually known Arabic for a few years now, but am always looking for something aside from the Quran and the Internet to help me retain it.)

Just got done with "Frozen Fire" by Tome Bowler. good book.

Damned, by Chuck Palahniuk. He himself describes it as The Breakfast Club crossed with No Exit - imagine Molly Ringworm and the rest in Hell (where they belong, frankly). Gross*, but nowhere near as gross and disgusting as Haunted. Rather funny.

*Mainly a macrophilia scene involving two damned souls and the giant demoness Psezpolnica. Oh, and there's also the Ocean of Wasted Sperm...

Just started The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie

by **Cameroi** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 10:10 pm

well i've just started a couple of new ones. i was walking by the little book store down the street from me a couple of days ago. and for the furst time ever, it was actually open with someone inside and the doors unlocked, instead of just the help yourself and pay through the mail slot if you feel honest enough to do so, table sitting outside.

one is called year of the griffin, by diana wynne jones
and the other is bitten, by kelley armstrong.

i haven't yet read enough of either to say anything more intelligent then that i've started reading them.

recentlyl finished alien tongue and unified field. presently working my way through the january/february "double" issue of analogue-sf as well.

I need something to read. Perhaps it's time to go visit the library.

May I make a recommendation?

I am currently reading The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie. Agatha is basically THE murder mystery novelist, and The detective in this book, Hercule Poirot, is a real character.

Thanks, but I'm not a fan of Christie. I read two of her novels a few years ago (he Adventure of the Christmas Pudding and After the Funeral, Funerals are Fatal) and I was thoroughly disappointed.

I did check your suggestion, and it seems The ABC Murders is well thought of by her fans.

I wouldn't recommend too much of Christie. Some of her books are wonderful, and dare I say, have become archetypes; others are simply trinkets in the collection.

No doubt. I think many renowned authors have books like that in their repertoire.

Maybe I'll get some of Peter Ellis's Brother Cadfael books. I am a fan of that monk.

Sybil Exposed. Which confirms the skepticism I had about the whole case, and about Flora Rheta Schreiber after I read her second book, The Shoemaker.
