Theme Thursday : Library!

Library turns out to be a theme I can get more autobiographical about than others…
I thought I’d put out a partial list of some of the last 5 year’s reading … most of these books I checked out of the Library…
The list includes mostly titles, but some authors, as I have a way of latching onto a writer and slogging through almost to the end until I get sick of him/her:

Orson Scott Card -- I’ve nearly exhausted his catalogue.
The Silmarillion
Mort -- one of Pratchett’s best.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Day of the Triffids --actually on audio.
Angels and Demons -- better than his other, more famous, book.
Cannery Row --and the movie version of this is good.
Master and Commander ( and nearly the entire O'Brian series)

Bill the Galactic Hero --funniest sci-fi book ever.
The Last Unicorn --classic fantasy, a must read for fantasy enthusiasts.
If I Never get Back -- a good baseball story.
The Princess Bride -- if you liked the movie you’ll love the book.
The Rule of Four
To the Hilt -- one of many Dick Francis books, this is a favorite.
Gathering Blue
Life of Pi
Shawshank Redemption -- and a few other S.King books.
Evolution
Harry Potter -- some of these are better then others
Lint -- odd stuff , I like
Piers Anthony -- every once in awhile I get the yen for goofy fantasy
Woken Fury -- really good sci-fi , also Altered Carbon.
The Know it All
Bullfinches Mythology-- for research and for fun.
Journey to the Center of the Earth
Explorers of the New Century
Odd Thomas -- I’ve read a lot of Koontz over the years.
The Innocents Abroad -- Twain really cracks me up.
Money Ball -- good baseball book.
A Hole in Space -- Niven is a favorite sci-fi author
Next
A long way Down
Deep Survival -- this is neat piece of non-fiction.
A Thurber Carnival
Slaughterhouse Five-- all Vonnegut is good.
Dune
The Wild Trees
Seabiscuit
Ben Bova -- read a few in this time span, not bad.
Childhood’s End -- I go back to this every couple years.
The True Meaning of Smekday -- actually a kid’s book, but good.
Farewell Summer -- a later Bradbury book. Dandelion Wine is his best.
Eats, Shoots and Leaves.
Perdido Street Station-- I now love Mieville.
Night
On the Road --Kerouac, his style is wild/crazy
Cat’s Cradle

At the moment I am reading The Jungle, and I think it is going to take me the better part of this month.

If you’ve read any of these and feel like a quick comment, great, or maybe a suggestion on anything else you think might fit into this eclectic list would also be welcome ….
Enjoy!
