Currently still reading the Ravenor Omnibus by Dan Abnett, also finished The Good Soldiers, by David Finkel, and am currently reading The Power of Babel by John McWhorter, which is about (I think so far) his theory about a proto-language that all current languages descned from.  Also am reading The Great Influenza, by John Barry, which is about the 1918-1919 Spanish flu epidemic.  Exciting stuff, I know  :8767

I just finished Jurassic Park (didn't like it (I don't like the movie either)) and now I'll start Dead Until Dark from Charlaine Harris!
Today on this program you will hear gospel, and rhythm and blues, and jazz
All those are just labels...We know that music is music♪

Do you at least agree the book is better than the movie?

The movie is only about special effects.

But I still want to read The Lost World.

That really is!  I'm actually done with The Power of Babel and am now reading The Kalavela, the Finnish Epic poem which was one of Tolkien's influences on the Lord of the Rings.

Just finished Jack Maggs, I found it really hard to get into (probably for 3/4 I really didn't connect with the characters). Though the last 1/4 flew past.

Perhaps more a reflection of my state of mind than the novel? Not sure.

I'm reading Virginia Woolf's "To the Lighthouse" and it's sheer beauty...
