[Welly Wu]

I'm going to get Seabiscuit and I look forward to getting The Teeth of the Tiger. Unfortunately, I haven't been reading as much as I need to do so this summer; busy at work. Like listening to music, when a day passes and I have not read something worthwhile, the day is lost.

By the way, what books are you looking forward to reading in the near future? Authors & titles please; perhaps why would be nice too.

Great thread Welly Wu.

Not in any order:

Musashi, Eiji Yoshikawa (just in from Amazon)
Douglas Adams, The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (HHGTTG) (collection of five in the series: HHGTTG / The Restaurant at the End of the Universe / Life, The Universe and Everything / So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, / Young Zaphod Plays It Safe)
In Harm's Way, Doug Stanton
Dean Koontz, By the Light of the Moon and The Face
Stephen King, The Green Mile

Incoming:

Miyamoto Musashi, A Book of Five Rings

Books I'd read again:

Any James Clavell (especially King Rat, have read that too many times!)
The Sand Pebbles
Watership Down
Almost any Stephen King

I don't know of anything new on the horizon, but I've got a small stack I need to catch up on:

lots of Ludlum, Orson Scott Card, and Clive Barker's new one that just came out in paperback, Coldheart Canyon.

Seabiscuit is very nice.

Just finished What Do You Care What People Think? by physicist Richard Feynman and A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. Both are great.

Reading An Idiot Girl's Action Adventure Club by Laurie Notaro and Benjamin Franklin by Walter Isaacson.

Next is Founding Brothers by Joseph J. Ellis and A Whore Just Like the Rest by music critic Richard Meltzer.

Then either The Promise of Sleep by William Dement, Don't Know Much About History by Kenneth Davis, or Stiffed by Susan Faludi.

As for why... well I bought them all recently.
