I read Owen Meany when I was 15, it is definitely one of my favorite books, highly recommend it.

Ron Paul, The Revolution: A Manifesto.

Planning on buying:

Bill Kauffman, Ain't my America
Patrick Buchanan, Churchill, Hitler, and the "Unnecessary War"

Burf · 06-13-2008, 04:39 AM

Buchanan was on the Daily Show the other day talking about this book (or was it Colbert? I can't remember.)
Seemed like it might be an interesting read.

Bought the three Del Rey editions of the Conan Chronicles. Pretty frickin awesome stuff that was written ages... AGES ago.

Just pre-ordered Toll of the Hounds, the 8th Malazan book. Can't wait 'till July now!

Picked up the first three books of the Black Company in the collected edition along with the collected first three books of the Dread Empire series. I had forgotten how good The Black Company series is.

Edit: ^^ Black Company is part of The Books of the South right? It seemed badass after first few pages and Steven Erikson's review on the back made me tingle.

Bought 4 new books tonight:

The Runes of the Earth - Stephen R. Donaldson
The Books of the South - Glen Cook
Mad Kestrel - Misty Massey
The Wild Wood - Charles de Lint

Picked them all up randomly after reading first few pages. I know nothing about them or their authors. Anyone read any of them? I know Donaldson is somewhat of a legend.

The other way around, Book of the South is books 4-6 in the Black Company.

Oh shit. I was really looking forward to reading that first... Already started it. So I need to buy The Black Company first then Shadows Linger then The White Rose?

Ancalagon · 06-22-2008, 10:26 PM

My intended reading for July-August, in this order:

--The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers by Paul Kennedy
--The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam by Barbara W. Tuchman
--The Post-American World by Fareed Zakaria
--The Analects (Penguin Classics) by Confucius and D. C. Lau
--Mencius (Penguin Classics) by Anonymous and D. C. Lau

Yup, for your buying pleasure Tor just released a tradepaperback containing all three together a few months back.

Thud! - Terry Pratchett.

Borders has all his books on sale for $12 so I've been buying up the last few I haven't read.

Also made an impulse purchase of 'Necronomicon (Commemorative Edition) - The Best Weird Tales of HP Lovecraft'. Because it had a nice shiney cover and I've been meaning to read some more of his stuff for ages. It's got 37 of his stories over 800 pages or so. Can't wait to sink my teeth into it.
