Okay. I'm going to attempt this. I've started on the first volume of Robert Jordan's enormous "The Wheel of Time" series. Wish me luck. paedraggaidin, any protips? I know you've finished it.

I received "The Annotated Dracula" that cinchntouch recommended. I've spent a little bit of time flipping through it, and gelling what I thought while reading ( Read more... )

Last weekend was drill and the two weekends before that were trips to Arizona. Here comes Pagan Pride on Saturday, for which I'm setting up the booth early in the A.M.

..."Beer, Blood and Cornmeal: Seven Years of Incredibly Strange Wrestling" by Bob Calhoun ( Read more... )

But that's what I've been reading. I've read all the way through "Dead in the Family", which I think is Sookie Stackhouse #11. I'm enjoying the books much more than season 5, which is painfully awful. I like how the series emphasizes the town and community of Bon Temps, LA which has a Wal-Mart, but no other restaurants except Merlotte's. ( Read more... )
