I need new stuff to read. I thought this forum would be a good idea for this kind of thing so that other people besides me could benefit from any suggestions. Don't ever say that Stef never did anything for you!

So recommend some books along with the reasons why you liked them!

Well, I went out the other day and bought the hardback of The Phantom Menace. Now I'm a strong believer in books being better than their corresponding film. This book, however, is little more than a script with spotted commentary and quotation marks. Don't buy this one, but see the movie!

Still need something to read, eh? Try something by Michael Crichton, he's usually good stuff :)

June. That wasn't too long ago, was it? that was when I moved. I moved from my nasty apartment into the attic of some friends of mine, along with three cats, while my house down the street is remodeled.

Anyway. I read too. I just read Marriage of Sticks, by Jonathon Carroll, The Garden of Iden by Kage Baker, and the latest Bujold Vorkosigan adventure, A Civil Action. Anyway, just thought I'd natter. Maybe we can resurrect this pu
