Welcome to the forum!

M. T. Anderson is very good. I have't read all of his work but I loved Feed (dystopia book) and Thirsty (the sad coming-of-age story about a boy...whos' turning into a vampire--also has dystopian themes).

I got to used bookstores! I haven't been to one in a while, but I really like them. One day my friend and I decided to check out all the ones in town. One was about 70% Christian stuff and Christian Romance Novels (I had no idea such things existed). Another was very good, and has been in...

Thanks again for the welcomes, everyone! And ooh--a Materia Magica player? I've played a bit of that--but then EverQuest stole my soul and I've been battling with it and other MMORPGs to regain control of myself. It's fun!

I thought it was nice! I haven't watched any episodes in a while though--I may during break. It was actally one of the first animes I ever saw, so I never had anything to compare it to.

Thanks!! :)

Ooh yes, that what I mean! Sorry, I just spelled it like I thought it would be.....thank you!!

That's all right...my roomie thinks that archaeology is neat, but she's a computer science geek. It's pretty fun...a girl obsessed with ancient history and a girl obsessed with technology living under the same roof.

LoL--thanks! And that's just a rough guess...I may have more--but I haven't counted them in some time. Everyone here seems so friendly! I think I'll really like it.

Thanks!! ...You don't like archaeology?! :eek: How can you not?! Then again, I've been obsessed with it since I was a kid....

Exactly! So, I want to get out of here, soon...I'm thinkin' somewhere with mountains, trees, a nice place to do some hiking..... It'll happen one day. :)

I'd suggest Titan by John Varley. I've read that, and its sequal, Wizard --both very good. I have yet to read the third and final on in the series, which is called Demon . But the characters are very good, and the plot is very interesting! I found someone's synopsis of it on amazon.com...

I realize no one has posted in this for over a month, but a book I thought was a bit disturbing (but very, very interesting) was The Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille. It's translated so the wording is kinda weird, but I liked it. And I actually got attached to the psycho characters near...

I haven't started it yet but I saw the movie and I loved it! Then again, maybe I just find it amusing that Colin Farrel only has 3 facial expressions.... Anyway, it was a very sweet movie and I'll probably be reading the book after I finish I'm Not Scared and The Persian Boy.

No...there's nothing nice, there isn't even *hills*--and most of the year it's hot and there's very little green...most plants are brown (including the grass).

Eh, I don't like it very much. I live in an area where there is literally *nothing* for at least 6 hours in all directions. No trees, no mountains, no real rivers, nothing.

I haven't read it yet, but my roomie really liked A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.

My last trip to Barnes & Noble and I got (in no particular order): And Then They Were Nuns by Susan J. Leonardi Jennifer Government by Max Barry Thirsty by M. T. Anderson A Home at the End of the World by Michael Cunningham Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce Brave New World by...

Yep! I've (sadly) lived here nearly all my life.

Thanks! It's always good to know I'm with fellow geeks and bookworms.
