Mellowman, in regards to the spoiler information, I find that far too many Star Wars books do things like that. Originality is more scarse than it should be.

Catcher in the Rye!!! 
I read that when I was a 15 year old at school. God I loved that book, it really effected me at the time. We also read The Chocolate War a really disturbing book about students at school selling chocolates for a fund raising event. And my wife read another awesome book at school called The Death of Grass. Boy, did we have good English teachers!
I just finished Shock Wave I love Dirk Pitt books! And now I'm reading A Quantum Murder. |

I am reading a Star Wars book called Triple Zero. It is the sequel to a book called Hard Contact. It takes place during the Clone Wars.

Well, I finished the first volume of Otherland, and She, which are the two books I last said I was reading. I liked them both, well enough. She was cheesy, but it kind of got to me. Disappointing ending, though. I have the second volume of Otherland out of the library.
I'm also planning to read The Bridges of Madison County. I hate everything I've heard about it, and I saw the last ten minutes of the movie and hated those. But I haven't read the book. It should take me less than two hours, and then I can hate with a clear conscience.
Or I may just go on hating in ignorance. Haven't made up my mind.
I also recommend, for those of you into Graphic Novels, Y the Last Man. It's about a plague that kills all male mammals on earth except for a young man and his monkey. I've read volumes 1-3, and 2 is the best so far. Curious to see how it ends, but the comic series hasn't finished yet. |

I'm currently reading The Da Vinci Code -- I know, I know, I'm like the last person on the planet to do so.

Um, mind passing that over when you're done with it? I seem to be the last person to have ever read that
