"What books have you read this year?"

Well? How many have you read in 2002 thus far, and what were they?

I can't remember all the books I've read, but I'll list some of them:

Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?
-Philip k Dick

Cradle
-Isaac Asimov (i think...)

The Gap Into Conflict - The Real Story
The Gap Into Vision - Forbidden Knowledge
The Gap Into Power - A Dark and Hungry God Arises
The Gap Into Madness - Chaos and order
-Stephen Donaldson

and about 10 Star Wars books, mostly New Jedi Order ones by various authors. Had a go at reading Fury by Salman Rushdie, but i just couldn't get into it.

Next on my list (logically enough) is the conclusion of the Gap series: The Gap into Ruin - This day all Gods die. Inspireed by Stephen Donaldson's work, I will be following this up with the Thomas Covenant series.

I've read:

Rhapsody, Prophecy - both by Elizabeth Haydon, just waiting for the third one to be released. I've also read The Truth - Terry PRatchett and Faith of the Fallen - Terry Goodkind.

I'm currently reading Killing Pablo, by Mark Bowden. The true story of the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar. A damn good book1

Next on my list is The Last Don, by Mario Puzo - the bloke that wrote The Godfather.

Shadows was alright, it did fill in some bits that happend between 4 and 5, Such as why has Luke become a full Jedi all of a sudden??, however I found it quite unfullfilling as a whole.

Liked Darksabre a bit more - have you read that?

What did you think of Shadows of the Empire (John Wagner I believe)?

I thought it was an OK read, but Episode II sort of shat on it a bit (things like The Emperor taking Vaders arm for not finding Luke, while in the film Dooku hacks it off with a lightsaber)...

Here we go

JRR Tolkien: Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit, Unfinished Tales, The Simillarion (Had a bit of a thing after watching the film early this year!)

Irvine Welsh: Filth

Thomas Harris: Hannibal

Steven King: The Green Mile, The Shining, Misery

Also the book adaption of Star Wars Episode 2, and the episode 5 and a half book, which I cant remember the author right know, but its called Shadows of the Empire.

Don't ask me why I initialed this post twice, because to be quite frank, I really don't have a damn clue.

I think I may be in need of therapy...
