    The whole Multiverse idea reminded me a lot of The Dark Tower Series. Which is awesome because that book series kicks ass.

    Has anyone else read it? The story is sprawling, rich and very rememberable (unlike HDM, I guess).

    I read the Virgin Suicides when I was in high school and liked it quite a bit. I am Charlotte Simmons is, well... it's not bad. But it's not great, at least, that was how I felt about it.

    Currently re-reading "The Vampire Lestat". I just finished "Chalice" by Robin Mckinley. It was an easy teen fantasy read, but different and kept my interest. I hope she returns to that world to write a few more stories.

    Oh my ... I couldn't resist, I'm just too much of a sucker for books. And comics. A guilty pleasure.
    I've already blown all my Christmas money on ordering/pre-ordering books (and comics).

    Let's see if I remember them all...

    The End of Eternity by Asimov
    All the Danger Girl collections (except for Ultimate Danger Girl, which I already own)
    Aphrodite IX (Amazon robots recommended that one to me, don't know why...)
    Hunger Games (curious about this one, also ordered Battle Royale and Lord of the Flies to get the whole impression)
    Lots of DC Comics, the two latest Birds of Prey TPBs, Batman RIP, the whole Batman War Games arc (I hear it's not that good, but I love the Spoiler character)
    Marc Guggenheim's Resurrection Vol. 1 (I hope it finally comes out this January and isn't delayed again, I read a preview online months ago and this could really be something for a lot of people on the forum, a classic scifi theme explored in a highly interesting new way.
    Justice Vol. 3
    Huntress Year One
    The latest Catwoman collection (one of my favorite comic book series ever)
    Shadow of the Scorpion (this one I ordered because of a review on io9, it just struck me as something I would like to read and enjoy)
    and a couple more I don't remember right now

    I feel just a little bit of buyer's remorse about having spent ALL the money from parents and grandparents on books, but on the other hand it's certainly a better investment than say, ... prostitutes or drugs or stock shares and it's going to keep me entertained until summer.

    And I expect my tax rebate soon and the State of Bavaria still owes me a considerable sum of travel expenses. (I really hate that policy, I have to advance all my travel expenses and it takes them months on end to get it processed and paid back to me).

    Oooh. I was actually intending on picking that up and reading it sometime soon, by some series of coincidences it's one of the few Asimov titles that I've never read.

    Right now in specific though I'm reading through the Riverworld novels, which is another bit of older sci-fi (though only I guess about half as old as The End of Eternity) that by chance I've passed by until now. (I've linked to the first novel there because, to anyone interested, I'd strongly recommend NOT reading the Wikipedia article on the entire series, since it has some pretty major spoilers as far as I know---I stopped reading the article halfway when I realized, heh).

    The Manning Grooms by Debbie Macomber. Smut, I know. But I had to take a break from Brisinger.

    Just finished Memories of My Melancholy Whores by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Fantastic, quick read from a master. Only he could make a whoring lifestyle so raw and beautiful.

    Am now almost done with The Heretic Queen , a tale set in ancient Egypt that weaves Nefertiti's niece, Nefertari, with the Exodus. I have a fondness for ancient Egypt.
