Originally Posted By Labuda The Arcanum by Thomas Wheeler - only on page 22 so far, but wow - I'm digging it, and the characterization of Arthur Conan Doyle in it just FEELS like it's an accurate portrayal of the man who wrote Sherlock Holmes. Luckily, John (the BFF) has told me I'm welcome to borrow it and take it with me when I return to Austin in a couple of days.
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin On to "HP et les Reliques de la Mort" as of the last couple days. Miss Candice, I am not capable of putting it off (no self-control). Maybe I'll re-read it (probably not). Also, I'd probably notice all the movie errors more then. Still working on the bible, of course. Also reading "The Ultimate Big Book of Words You Should Know". Well, I read a definition and example (and highlight in my book, *gasp*) if I can't immediately think of the definition. And I'm listening to "Daughter of Fortune" by Isabel Allende in my car. I'll be reading "A Feast for Crows" by Martin for the first time, after I'm done with HP. Maybe, next weekend? Labuda, yay for the Hitchhiker's Guide. Did that happen?
Originally Posted By Labuda ^^^ Not yet... The Arcanum has supplanted it for now, BUT I may well start on Hitchhicker's guide tomorrow, maybe. I freakin' LOVE me some Douglas Adams and hope that Dirk Gently will be available for my nook soon. Oh, and Last Chance to See.

I haven't read it since 8th grade, and finally got to see the ACTUAL directors cut of Blade Runner. The time seemed appropriate to pick it up. Plus I love Philip Dick's books.

Originally Posted By Longhorn12 >does reading PDK depress you at all?< They don't depress me as much now, although most of them never really did. A Scanner Darkly did when I first read it, but that was at one of my lowest points. I really enjoy interpretations of dystopian futures, especially Dick's. I've based several Shadowrun campaigns off his novels. (Shadowrun is a futuristic RPG. Think DnD for those not into tabletop games)
