GateWorlder's Book Club and Reading List

[sueKay]

I'm currently reading SG1 Siren Song but next on my 'to read' list is to re-read the Chronicles of Narnia...

...what can I say? I'm a kid at heart

[Reefgirl]

I always meant to read Fatherland and never got around to it, thanks for the reminder.

It was made into a TV movie with Rutger Hauer and Miranda Richardson, the opening bit which was a montage of old newsreel clips and a Voice Over was REALLY creepy, it was all about what happened when D-Day failed, creepy stuff

[Erised]

...Harry Potter!!!! read it if you haven't already!!!

^ yep....

[Tok'Ra Hostess]

I've read almost all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels in order, starting with Discworld and up to the Wee Free Men.

I'd like to read Neil Gaiman's American Gods, but am holding off because I can't help but think it'll just turn out to be a darker version of TP's Small Gods.

Non fiction, I've recently read Eve's Seed, Freakanomics and The Human Factor.

I'm presently 30 pages into Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman(published 1792)

I'm on the lookout for the audiobook, Their Eyes were watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.

I read American Gods a few months ago- don't hold off on it, read it!

*raises hand*

You should, if only to understand what it's all about and why certain elements in the Catholic church keep crying that it's trying to convert children to witchcraft. Makes me laugh. Reading in order might be your best bet-- Philosopher's Stone (no, wait, Sorcerer's Stone in the US), Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban, Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince.

My favourite authors are-- in the fantasy and sci-fi genres, I'd say David Eddings, Diane Duane and William Gibson. Mystery/crime drama-- Kathy Reichs, Mary Higgins Clark, Agatha Christie, Harlan Coben... I have a lot of favourites. My room is so full of books I have nowhere to put my clothes, and I don't think there's such a thing as having too many books.

Another good one is "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria Russell.

I'm currently reading Twighlight by Stephanie Meyers and I'm loving it.
