Whoo, Cussler sure knows how to write a story! The best thing is that his books aren't as repetitive as the Redwall books. It's a little more mature than Redwall, too.

Re: Books!

Finished reading Deamon and the sequel Freedom(TM).

Along with the old Brer Rabbit stories, this guy was a big part of what got me into anthropomorphs when I was young. Lots of nostalgia here. Yes, his stories were pretty formulaic, but there was always something about them that kept you coming back. He will be missed.

Re: Books!

I'm currently reading the novel CARRIE for my third-quarter English Book Project. Good so far.

Re: Books!

I'm reading "Dreams from Bunker Hill" by John Fante, I really like it so far. And I'm almost done with "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins.

Re: Books!

I just finished American Psycho today. Great book, best one I've read in a while.

I'm a Ted Dekker fan, but that was one of my least favorite books of his.

Re: Books!

Re: Books!

Yesterday I just started the third book in the series I've been reading: The Last Apprentice. I'm currently reading 'Night of the Soul Stealer'

  It's an easy read for anyone, and it's incredibly well written in my opinion. It is said to not be read after dark, but only follow those if you're easily scared. Some parts do make you become scared as in the hair on your neck goes up, but it's not extreme. It's a real page turner, and I recommend you read the series if you haven't already.

Re: Books!

I've been reading a bunch of comic books lately, but I won't mention those - they're pretty much pure brain-candy.

Ted Dekker's debut novel is one of his strongest, in my opinion. The narration is so sarcastic and unstable and it really helps you get into the main character's head.
