I just finished Hannibal Rising.  Excellent book.

Although there's a point during the book you get a little creeped out because you realize you're rooting for the cannibalistic serial killer!

I finished The Children of Men by PD James last week.

The book and movie very different. About the only things shared between the book and movie are characters and of course, the premise of a woman suddenly getting pregnant.

I don't think that subtracts from either one, though. They're both excellent, and quite honestly, if they made a faithful movie from this book, it would have been boring. The immigration issue was present in the book, but expanded and brought more up-to-date in the movie. (The book was published in 1992.)

I'm still chewing it over, but it was more of a study of one man's thought process in a future that really had no future, and then suddenly waking up from his malaise.

Finished the Potter books a few weeks ago, then I read an absolutely phenomenal book about Theodore Roosevelt...



It details the journey of Roosevelt down an uncharted Amazonian river after he was president.  It was a wonderfully interesting read

Right now...back to Dickens...



Never read it, so far, I like it a lot better than Tale of Two Cities

I just got done reading "Hyperion" and "Fall of Hyperion" by Dan Simmons and now I'm on to the seqeul, "Enymion."  After I read "The Rise of Endymion" I'm thinking about reading the Harry Potter books.  I haven't read those before.

This is actually the third time I've read the "Hyperion" books and the second for "Endymion."

I've read these books the last few days...





These and a few other similar books have been the extent of my readings for the past few months...

I finished up the HP series a little while back as well (which I've really enjoyed, can't wait for the final book), and haven't really dug into another "book" yet.  I've been reading a couple TPBs (Secret Wars, Essential Spidey, Kraven's Last Hunt), so that's been taking up some time.  It really seems amazing how much dialogue those older comics have in them compared to most of what is out today.  I picked up the first book of the Han Solo Trilogy as well, but haven't started in on that yet.  I don't know if its any good, but I hope to start it this weekend if I have time and find out.
