I just picked up a little $8 Nintendo DS cartridge with 130 classics on it, so I'm reading a Study in Scarlet.

Finished up Pirate King by RA Salvatore. Started the Ghost King last night, half-way through American Gods by Neil Gaiman and almost done with Black Echo by Micheal Conley.

Well I am not a reader but I almost picked up the audio book "The girl with the dragon tattoo", it is too expensive though. I listened to the audio book "Rant" pretty weird and interesting.

Ready Player One is a fantastic and fun read!
The story is geared towards anyone who grew up around the pop culture of video games, arcades, the 80's, and geekdom!

It revolves around The Oasis, a MMORPG that has evolved more into a way of life. The real world is harsh, cold, and brutal in the future. The Oasis is the escape. You can go to public school through it, attend church, run a business, anything. The inventor dies one day and leaves a Easter Egg embedded in the game that contains his entire fortune and few clues.

That's the story and it's just a very engaging book that made me wish for another thousand pages in this universe!

I picked this up through the Kindle app when it came out. So far, I am liking it. However I am taking my time to read since the last few books I plowed through too quickly.

Meh.

I'm not a fan of run-ons that are (at least) a page long. Stream-of-consciousness isn't my cup of tea.

Faulkner's characters families are a lot like my relatives in the South.

I've made it through Faulkner's books, except for "Absalom, Absalom". I literally got a headache reading it.

With that being said, Hemingway is more for me. I started "For Whom the Bell Tolls" again a few nights ago.
