The Booklist - Mark II

Currently on the go:

smiley - bookThe Eye of the World - Robert Jordan
Given to me by a co-worker, I found this dreadfully plodding for the first several chapters. It was unimaginative, predictable and dull. I spent more time on it that I should have, and eventually it got more interesting but frankly, it's still work. 250+ pages in and I still haven't figured out what the point of the book is.

smiley - bookMcNally's Secret - Lawrence Sanders
Just reordered this from half.com after deciding that I will never again see the one I loaned out several years ago. I should finish it up tonight.


Next up: Motor Mouth - Janet Evanovich

What to read next...

... lest I forget what it was I wanted to read. It seems that for every book I finish about four get added to this list, it's about time I started keeping track of it somewhere.

For 2004 I want to read
The Lord of the Rings (again), even though I've just finished it, I've also just seen the last film and would like to read them again for comparison. I'm hoping since I've now read it once and seen it, the next read won't take as long!

Kushiel's Avatar, and then the Kushiel trilogy from the start again.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban before the film.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix since I've wanted to re-read it since I was about 2/3 through it the first time and I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Continuing the theme of books with films, I've just discovered that there will be a film of 'I, Robot' which I've never read, but do have a copy of.

If I remember correctly, they're also working on a film of 'The Bourne Supremacy' which I should read again, it's been about 10 years.

On the list of books just sitting around waiting to be read:
In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner
Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
The Last Promise by Richard Paul Evans
Obsidian Butterfly by Laurell Hamilton
Triggerfish Twist by Tim Dorsey
The Truth by Terry Pratchett
Tourist Season by Carl Hiaasen
McNally's Dare by Vincent Lardo


I know there are others... but I think this is plenty to get me started.

What's on Your Soundtrack?

I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of music people listen to from day to day. As I'm sure this journal is a rather obscure place to put such a discussion, it will probably turn into a list of what I've been listening to at any given point in time. But if anyone happens by and wishes to contribute, please feel free to do so!

In the changer at home:
'Invisible Touch' - Genesis
'Beethoven's Last Night' - Trans-Siberian Orchestra
'Mad Season' - Matchbox Twenty
'Celebration' - The Canadian Brass
'Break the Cycle' - Staind

In the car:
Actually, I've been travelling with the Matchbox 20 and the Staind and taking them into the house when I listen to music at home.

So.
What's on YOUR soundtrack?

Booklist

After nosing around in the "What Book Are You Reading At This Time?" thread I have been inspired to find out how many books I read in a year. The easiest way I can think of to keep track is to keep a list somewhere (like here!)

So, I'll start with the month of April 2002 and keep track until the end of March 2003.

The first week of April I finished Terry Pratchett's "The Fifth Elephant", but as I actually started that book in March I probably won't include that in the total. Since April first I have read "Burnt Offerings" by Laurell Hamilton, and I've started on Terry Pratchett's "Eric".
