Falling Man by Don DeLillo (it's not White Noise, but it's very good).
What was your issue with The Famished Road?

Apparently the series is nothing at all more than a retelling of the original Star Wars trilogy...but with dragons!

The main selling point being "it was written by a teenager!"
It has ****ing dragons.

They could retell "Pretty Woman" with Dragons, and I'd be there.

The surreal/magical moments didn't ever really make sense to me or point to any real deeper meaning/truth. I appreciated them, but they didn't seem to have any real substance to them. I know that I'm probably wrong in that, and if I'd bothered to read criticism and analysis of the novel, I'd probably have understood it better... that being said, I wasn't really in the mood for something in that vein when I was reading it.

Just finished "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro and thought it was pretty outstanding.


About to start reading Lullaby - Chuck Palahniuk. I have been meaning to get around to his books for a while now and this will be the first of Palahniuk I have read.

Just finished "The Forgotten Man"...excellent well written historical look at the 30's Depression, the moves made by FDR and the people involved.

I would say read it...its a good read and in todays economy a lot of similarities.

I've only read Lullaby and Fight Club. I like his stuff, but I don't love it. His general hatred for all things human gets to me after a while.

I guess I forgot my current books.

I'm reading 1984. Yes, the book I failed to read when it was assigned in high school.

And then after that going with James Rollins' The Last Oracle.

Tonight was Curious George Goes to the Movies.

We've read it a dozen or more times, but the classics never get old.

I gave up for now on the Wheel Of Time series. Too much spinning in place for far, far too long.

I just finished re-reading Terry Brooks' Word and Void trilogy so that I can start on his new Genesis of Shannara trilogy. Just started Armageddon's Children last night. Not exactly War and Peace but it's entertaining.
