Dune - Frank Herbert.

And I've started my own Sci-Fi novel! I've never written a book, or even a chapter for that matter, but I've got such a story inside, I have to put it on paper.

Basically, its a story about good and evil, and how both sides always believe they're the good. I couldn't think of a better inspiration for the main character than Captain Tightpants. Of course it takes place in space, and I plan on throwing in Firefly salutes.

I'm always open to suggestions, and I may post some chapters once I can get a good flow going.

From what I've heard and read, they've taken quite a few liberties...I was so hoping for a more canonical adaptation seeing as they at least kept the title, but it's not to be.

-gulps- um, well, each to their own -

but for me - wow -
wuthering heights... well, damn, i love it.
it's just this sheer force of will power and elementalism. oh - it might just be my favourite book... if i didn't love 'charlotte sometimes' so much.

and Ann Bronte's Tennant of WildFell Hall is a great read - soooooooo ahead of it's time in the depiction of alcholism and domestic violence, patterned relationships etc etc

and passionate too!

w.heights is not romantic like jayne eyre - i can understand that (and the dialect) being a little alienating.

my fave parts of jayne eyre are the school scenes.

various dry and boring texts on children's language disorders...thought I would like Speech Pathology, but I really hate it! Also reading the head and neck parts of Gray's Anatomy for students. It's really interesting and the only thing that's keeping me from slitting my throat in this course! will begin my annual journey through the Lord of the Rings et al. as soon as exams are over. (I read them and then sequester myself on New years eve, and watch all three extended movies back to back).

Just finishing:

Echo Burning by Lee Child. Will immediately start

Without Fail by Lee Child.

Stumbled on the Jack Reacher series completely by accident because I confused Lincoln Child with Lee Child, and boy am I glad I did. Great stuff!

Im reading an Ellen Hart murder mystery.
One of my adictions.

If you had asked me at any other time I would be reading about military history. But you caught reading pulp fiction this week.

I got Terry Brooks new book, today. Actually, it’s the first book of his new Trilogy: Genesis of Shannara: Armageddon's Children. This one is supposedly about how it all started. Yeah, I know there’s already been a “how it all started” series, but this one goes even further back – I think to when Magic was created, the faeryfolk and the Ellcries, etc. Brooks had long hinted in several of his books that the story actually took place in a far future time following some sort of nuclear cataclysm. I’m guessing this story takes place somewhere between the holocaust and the forbidding.

Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.

Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.
