My wife really enjoyed that one. I recently finished "The DaVinci Code" by Dan Brown and thought it was great.

I'm working on Slapstick, by Kurt Vonnegut.

Yup. My wife turned me onto Connie Willis, too. She's a very good writer.

I'm in the middle of The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson. It finally came out in paperback, so I had to read it.

Just finished re-reading Behold the Man by Michael Moorcock and Pastwatch by Orson Scott Card.

I just finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I thought it was good, but I liked the fourth book a lot more.

I also finished The Deer and the Cauldron - the Third Book. Jin Yong (Louis Cha) is such a great writer. He's inspired me to learn Chinese (Mandarin) and to eventually learn the written language. I hope to read one of his novels in Chinese some day. In fact, I was so happy with this book that I re-read The Book and The Sword translated by Graham Earnshaw (which I feel is a better translation). You can find both sets of books on Ama zon. My translation for TBaTS I got from Earnshaw's old website (now unavailable).

Carrie, by Stephen King

How was it? I saw the movie, but never read the book. Are there any big differences between the movie and the book?

I only started it last night--and I've never seen the movie! One difference: John Travolta isn't in the book. :D

Essentially all the Stephen King I've read has been stuff wher I've seen the movie and wanted to read the book (The Running Man, Firestarter, Christine,...). This is an exception.
