Good Omens is brilliant. My favourite non-Discworld Pratchett book, I think (with the Long Earth the only other contender).

Read Alice and Wonderland, and Beyond the Looking Glass. Great read, and truly a captivating book.

Got my hands on a copy of Exploring Calvin and Hobbes. It's actually a museum exhibit in book form. Great read for any fans of C&H, or just comic strips in general. Watterson gave a fairly lengthy interview for the exhibit and goes into his influences and the early days of the strip. Really pretty book too, nice quality, and the prints they use are originals. In some panels, you can even see the white-out used to cover up mistakes.

Re: Books: What are you currently reading?
That sounds very cool TrollBrute. Calvin and Hobbes is my all time favorite comic strip and it took me years before I could read the funnies after it ended.

Re: Books: What are you currently reading?
The Prestige was very enjoyable. Recommended. Now Sherlock Holmes and the Ectoplasmic Man, by Daniel Stashower.

Continues a couple of themes from The Prestige: magic in 1900, give or take a decade or two, and grabbed in a thrift store as a possible-read and sitting neglected on a shelf ever since.

A few chapters in I'm not particularly gripped, but I'll give it a bit longer.

Re: Books: What are you currently reading?
The Pratchett talk here reminded me that I hadn't read the Long Mars yet, the third in the Long Earth trilogy. Picked it up from the library this morning. The reheated Sherlock goes back on the shelf.

Just ordered A World Undone: The Story of the Great War, 1914-1918.

I'm getting it in anticipation of getting a new board game called The Great War, which was a kickstarter and should be arriving in a few weeks.

I want to learn a lot more about WWI.

Finished Good Omens. I really enjoyed it. There were times I literally laughed out loud. Very good stuff.

I'm working on Moneyball. Anyone who coaches a sports team of any flavor and is serious about their sport should read this. I enjoyed the movie, but there is so much more for a coach to take from the book.

Still finishing up Sacrifice by John Farris, but since getting A World Undone: The Story of the Great War 1914-1918, I've been reading a few pages of that too here and there.

It's amazing how turbulent Europe was before the war and what a hotbed the Balkans were.
