Agreed! I read that one and I highly recommend the sequel to be released in May of 2012.

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

The Unvanquished by Faulkner

Anything by Faulkner deserves at least two thumbs up.

Just started the girl with the dragon tattoo. So far pretty good.

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.
