Does anybody read books here?

I went back to Karen A's TGT btw Lise and am more into it now. Well p.96.
Muhammad is about to go south (to Medina) in her other one. They were being so nasty to him in Mecca that I chucked it and went back to TGT. Muhammad was a re-read so I know how it turns out in the end of course. (Well we all do - 600 years, 2 billion converts, the most popular boy's name on the planet... but I meant the book/biog)

Sweet Jewish New Year and Ramadan karim to us all

I know, isn't it an incredible story? I left that book with a definite fondness for the prophet Muhammad. For the rest of you, we're referring to Karen Armstrong's biography: Muhammad. http://www.amazon.com/Muhammad-Biogr...e=UTF8&s=books

Well worth reading. Doesn't explain the long, complex history of Islam, of course, but gives an excellent understand of the beginnings of the religion.

I'm trying to hunt down and find anything I can by Frank Herbert... read the whole Dune series (etc) and now I'm trying to get the prequels in...

Stephen King has been pretty good to me- The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon was my favorite...

I loved the Dune Series. I am currently reading Dreamcatcher, by Stephen King.

[Kitsune06]

I was torn between Chapterhouse and God Emperor being my favorites... His son did a good job, but they're not quite the same.

Never read Dreamcatcher... how is it?

[Bikingmomof3]

Dreamcatcher is interesting. It definitely keeps my attention as I am constantly curious to see just where he is going with the plot. The book starts out about 4 men, all chums from school, with a very important common bond. From there it escalates into government conspiracy and without revealing the plot (or rather, the plot as I know it now), there are many twists and turns which I find intriguing. I am not a huge Stephen King fan, I read many of his books from the early 80s then nothing until now. Pick up a copy from your local library. If nothing else, it will keep you guessing.

I read Dreamcatcher on the plane coming back from Maine this summer. It was good.

I really like Carl Hiasson. He writes fiction for both children and adults. I first ran into his books when one won a Newberry - Hoot.

Kit - a GREAT Sci-fi series that I absolutely LOVED is by the authors Randall Garrett & Vicki Ann Heydron. Its called the "Gandalara Cycle." This series is probably more fantasy than sci-fi but so awesome! And the twist at the end will blow you away.

The books are out of print now but I almost always find them at used book stores. They are also available thru Amazon. Originally the series was 7 small Roger Zelazny sized books that have been condensed into 3 Frank Herbert sized books.

If you decide to try them out, let me know what you think!

I wasn't a huge fan of Dreamcatcher myself. Needful Things was very good as was Insomnia.

While my reading list grows I'm a afraid that for the next month or so I'll be reading technical journals and electronic s*^% instead of novels on BART. I'm studying for one of the tests at work. Since I have all the instruction material at my desk I believe I can plow through it rather than take time off from riding to do the class.

After that, back to this list.

So many books, so little time
