I did read the first installment in Eoin Colfer's Artemis Fowl series and was rather underwhelmed. |

pretty well.. i don't know if he'll be able to sustain it though. i''m a fast reader.. so i'll let you know once i finish the book... i was fortunate to meet douglas adams in LA for an E3 gaming convention, for the 'starship titanic' game, and talked to him for a little while. he signed some books/laserdiscs, and the game for me. he was looking forward to the 'hitchhikers' movie coming out.. yes, he was very tall. and yes, he was really kind, and funny! i'll always remember that day.. later -1 |

Re: currently reading?
I´m still in my "discovering MJ" era so I just started to read J. Randy Taraborrelli - Michael Jackson: the magic and the madness.
The book seems to be a quite detailed screening of the Jackson family not only MJ. Interesting is the author´s rendering of situations, people and their behaviour in a way like if it was the matter of fact, nevertheless the book is MJ friendly so far.

Just finished "Blood's A Rover" by James Ellroy, which I loved...
And reading now "By Reason Of Insanity" by Shane Stevens, which makes "The Silence of The Lambs" looking like a fairy tale

Reading poetry out of a memory book about Ruth Randall Edström (1867-1944), bellowed wife to Mr Electricity.

Re: currently reading?
FINALLY finished 2666. Golden. Page 609(I think) is one of those occurrences where I get pissed that someone said it before me...
Also: S. King's last set of short stories. Cat From Hell started good, but the last few pages got stupid. Final sentence rocks. LOVED "Mute", the priest bit is hilarious. G.D.T. and someone else "The Strain". So/so. Not a bad read. Some book on gardening too.
