I'm finally beginning Alice in Wonderland after being harassed for months by my two best friends. How I got to be my age without having read it I don't know. But it's the first book for my new commonplace book project, so I'm excited.
You're not the only one. I've never read it either, but I bought The Complete Alice in Wonderland a few months ago and plan to rectify the situation, eventually.

Oh, for anyone interested, there is also A Lewis Carroll Omnibus here at MobileRead (which I didn't know at the time of purchase). It has Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass and 3 or 4 other stories.

Just don't let "The Island of Doctor Moreau" put you off him, to my tastes this is about the worst of his books (I guess my trouble with it could be because of the various appalling movie versions that stick in my mind as I read it).

I am, at present, howling my way through Bill Bryson's, I'm a Stranger Here Myself. Every time I pick one up I am reminded of why he is one of my all time most beloved writers.

Also read, based on some recommendations from this forum, Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey. It was an odd book but I found myself quite enjoying it.
Heading into the 2nd one of the series.

And a good anthology it is too. I've read many of them before, but they bear re-reading. Some humorous, some serious, all interesting.

Next: Mouse and Dragon by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller

A Liaden Universe novel I'd overlooked.

I've finished and posted a review of The Power of Six. It's the sequel to I am Number Four (both a mediocre movie and book). I was surprised with how much I actually enjoyed The Power of Six. It's better than I am Number Four and actually had some interesting plot twists this time round.

Currently reading the steampunk thriller The Burning Sky by Joseph Robert Lewis

So far it's not catching my interest. The genre doesn't seem to appeal to me very much.

I recall the movie I saw as being frightfully bad. Don't let that discourage you. The book is far more interesting.

I'm beginning to feel the same.

This my first time reading the book, and I have not seen any of the movies.

Watched the movie for the first time the other day. The action scenes were good. But they seemed to drag the bad guy from a future spoof version or something.

Read 40 pages and stopped. It wasn't at all what I expected. Polytheistic gods and inconsistent science.

Time for a change-up. Landscape With Dead Dons by Robert Robinson an English journalist/broadcaster who recently passed away. Written in 1956.

Just finished William Peter Blatty's The Excorcist http://www.amazon.com/Exorcist-40th-...7910061&sr=1-1 ...I finished in 2 days, that's a record for me. It was my first time reading it and it will definitely become a book I read every October. Very scary.

Now reading Anne Frasier's Play Dead http://www.amazon.com/Play-Dead-eboo...7910029&sr=1-1
