I just finished a book, and I'll start another one maybe next week.

I finished Wonderboys by Michael Chabon, and I'm thinking about reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by the same author, which won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

i'm a big fan of the separation of interface and implementation. asp .NET "code behind" makes it possible to almost completely remove design elements from actual subroutines - smart move.

:scratch: Interesting to see which threads get merged.

I saw the movie, before I knew it was a book....great movie. As with most books turned in to movies, it brushes over, or elliminates most of the history of the town, the rascism. But still a great movie.
I just put it into my queue.

I am not a huge fiction fan, either. I'm usually selective about what I read, but I do stray from non-fiction often, simply because I am curious and I also have a few favorite fiction authors. This book was actually on the "must read" list for one of my lit classes, and I ended up really enjoying it because we never know if the narrator is male or female. It adds a nice twist to things! :)

I used to be a huge Cussler fan. IMHO he seems to just be cranking out books with out much thought put into them at all recently. The whole Pitt jr/ Summer thing could have given the books some new life/direction, but then he decided to reduced Summer's character to just another damsel in distress. I haven't decided if I'm going to even bother picking up Treasure of Khan. I'd be interested to hear what you think of Black Wind

Rumor has it that there is a script in the works for Ender's Game. That would be very interesting to see.

I could not think of a single child actor I would picture in any role.

:iagree: this movie is going to suck, no matter who they cast. I just can't see it as being very good, at all.

IMDB says it set to be release in 2008.
Wolfgang Petersen is listed as the director they don�t any anybody (beside OSC) associated with it
It is said to be a mix of both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow

I could not think of a single child actor I would picture in any role.

Very true, do you think they could get away with teenage actors and just kind of fudge about their actual age of the characters in books?

That's what I thought about Harry Potter, too. So they cast newbies - worked great!

:iagree: this movie is going to suck, no matter who they cast. I just can't see it as being very good, at all.

Again - that's what I thought about Harry Potter. No way could it be even a little bit as good as the book and they did OK with it.

IMDB says it set to be release in 2008.
Wolfgang Petersen is listed as the director they don�t any anybody (beside OSC) associated with it
It is said to be a mix of both Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow

I can see how they'd combine the two to flesh out the story. Should be interesting to see! As always, the book will be better.

*completely unrelated side note - I am loving the multi-quote feature!!!*

Bumping this to recommend a book. Written by the author of "Intriped" (William Stevenson) about the British secret service during WWII. Supposedly the inspiration for Moneypenny in the James Bonds books written by Fleming.
Spymistress: The Life of Vera Atkins, the Greatest Female Secret Agent of World War II
It is enthralling, although a little barebones about her personal feelings. She was a very powerful figure that kept her light under a bushel. She was involved in enigma, Polish and French resistance, etc. Fascinating!

I just got done reading another Stephanie Plum series book. It is what my husband would call a chick flick book. They are histerical though !!! I don't think I have ever laughed out loud when reading a book, but I do with these. My next one I have to read until my other Plum books come is The Thirteenth Tale. Can't wait to dive into that one.:cool:

I'm bouncing back and forth between two now:
Richard Dawkins - The God Delusion
-hard to get into, reads like a college lecture at times, but very interesting. But I definitely need breaks from it at times so...
Sarah Clarke - Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel
-LONG book, over 1000 pages. Set in 1800s England about magicians. Slow at first, but getting very interesting. Won a few awards.

Tried to read that one - got 100 pages in and threw in the towel. Hubby did the same thing, but didn't tell me where he quit until I did. It was pretty much the same spot. I just couldn't get into it! I thought 100 pages was a fair shot. My FIL loved it, though!
