Geez you guys...now you've got me wanting to just crawl into bed with my book....hehe

Rereading Seamus Heaney's "Beowulf" - again...
Thanks to Torone I grabbed it and read it. I had seen the movie and also seen an episode of Xena with Beowolf in it....does that count? hehe I did find the book rather dry though...that old engish is killer when you're not in the right mood.

Cryptonomicon
Geez, I thought it said 'Necronomicon' there for a minute...rotfl....gee, this room is getting cold.... h34r:

Anyone else think that George Orwell was about 20 years early?
Most definitely

As for me, I am in the middle of Narcissus in Chains by Laurell K. Hamilton...I'm quite enjoying it. Great for sci-fi/erotica fans....

I'm also a big fan of metaphysical fiction. One of my favorite books is The Celestine Prophecies trilogy. I haven't picked up the third book yet though...

Another all time favorite fiction book of mine is 'The Fifth Sacred Thing' by Starhawk. (yes, that wierd Dianic witch lady....lol) Her non-fiction is dry, very leftist and fanatically feminist.....however The Fifth Sacred Thing was awesome. The book deals with characters who are affected by a huge global/elemental/political change....a very entertaining and thought provoking book.

Oh! And I almost forgot....Clan of the Cave Bear....anyone read it? I started...got half way through and haven't picked it up since....
