I'm having a rough go of it. I, too, thought that since it is THE Arthurian book that it would be awesome. Sadly, I don't think so.
What book are you currently reading?

Aww, I also heard it's THE Arthurian book and always planned to read it. I guess I should tone down my expectations. :sad:

I'm about to start Murakami's After Dark.
I only got about 20 pages in, but trying to read it immediately after The Mists of Avalon was a mistake. They are just written so differently and the contrast was too much to handle. I'm going to read some other non-Arthur books and then come back to it and see if that helps. I started reading this:

^ *likes* :thumbup:re-reading The Hunger Games
^ That sounds like a good read!I started reading this:
Operation Remake-Brother's-Old-Room-Into-A-Guest Room/Library is almost finally complete. I sorted so many books today and set aside a few classics my mom had. I'm thinking I might read A Tree Grows In Brooklyn sometime this week. (This probably belongs more in the Random Thoughts thread, but I felt like posting it here.)
I've just started reading it. I never watch any tv shows that were originally books because usually they're terrible. Books and tv shows/movies are two completely different things so i wouldn't judge any of Stephen King's work based on any tv show.

Ok, I was just wondering. I remember watching Flash Forward and I really liked it, but I read that the original book was very different (in the way it told the story), so I was curious about this one.
Yay for guest room/libraries! That's what I did with my old room when my sister moved out.
I'm liking this book so far. AJ Jacobs is a pretty funny cat and I enjoy his endeavors. In the last book of his I read, he tried to read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica in one year.

Currently reading Spice and Wolf (volume 1), I like it so far but I have to have a dictionary next to me because this is the first novel I read in English and there are so many words I don't know the meaning of. It's not one of those english to portuguese dictionaries, it's just an english dictionary app for my tablet. This novel has 17 volumes (though only 9 have been translated so far) so I hope that I can stop using the dictionary before finishing the whole thing.
Anyway here's the original cover:

I'm almost finished reading this for one of my classes:
I really like it. It's extremely depressing, and yet it's too good to put down. Written by a popular and now deceased Native American author, it's about a half-Native American, half-white man from Montana and his descent into isolation, alcoholism and depression and his eventual self-destruction due to his lack of clear identity and trouble with his past.
This whole unit in class we're doing on Native Americans really has me interested in the subject. It was never something I thought much about, which is sad. But I really admire their culture and wish as a group they were doing better than they are statistically.
