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).

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

 

[arnisador]

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

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.
