I'm reading Blood Rites, book 6 of The Dresden Files, just finished a quick, but entertaining evening with the Indiana Jones Adventures graphic novel, and will be reading Motel of Mysteries (a humorous tale of archeology gone wrong), as well as the first Charlaine Harris 'Dead' book (Dead Until Dark, I believe) over the next week or so.

I'm reading J.D. Salingers review of Raiders of the Lost Ark, he didn't like it.
Then again his job in the War was interviewing Nazi deserters and sympathizers...

I just finished reading The Big Sleep, which was utterly fantastic. And I'm now reading Shutter Island, since the Scorsese film is being released.
In my Britannica, I'm reading a short article on Donatello, and a long article on the history of Australia.

And later he became the Commander of Babylon 5?
I'm currently reading the Unicorn's Legacy by Rob MacGregor and loving it, but my wife has bought me Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph by T.E. Lawrence as a present for my graduation, so I'll be starting that as soon as it arrives...

My dad, who is a bit of a Lawrence fan, started to read this years ago, and from what I gather it isn't suitable for light bedtime reading!
From the sublime to the ridiculous, after reading all the Indy movie novelizations again, I'm returning to the task of getting through all my unread Star Wars expanded universe novels, having piled them in chronological order. I'm currently half way through A.C. Crispin's Rebel Dawn, the last of the Han Solo Trilogy (his early years).
And back to the sublime again...

Agreed, not the best, but a very good book indeed if you ask me. Starts Rob MacGregor's sage, wich is best read in the order that they came out to be fully appreciated.

That sounds rather naughty...

You're saying that you are not a Lawrence fan?
But I am prepared for it being like that, as I'm quite used to reading books of that kind. There are a lot of Arab children in the Dutch schools that I'll end up teaching at, and this is another way for me to try and be as good a teacher as I can by trying to understand where they are coming from.
I speak the language a little bit, and that and the fact that I read the Koran already bridges quite a lot of gaps I have found.

You know, when you say Han Solo Trilogy, I'm thinking Brian Daley. Or does that just classify me as old...
Ever read that one?

Let's say that he's the bigger fan.
Though he often comments that 'Lawrence wasn't alone', when he crops up in films and documentaries, but Lawrence seemed to court the fame and the infamy. A fascinating character and life. Joosse said:
I take my hat off to you, Joosse. If only those that took us into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars also had more of an understanding of the problems Lawrence faced, and of the middle-eastern culture, we might be better placed than we are now.

Yes, Joosse, it does classify you as old! And me, too! I'm a big fan of Daley's trilogy, which I first read in the early 80s, along with Splinter of the Mind's Eye.
AC Crispin wrote another Han Solo trilogy more recently, from Han as a young boy up to his first meeting with Chewbacca and his first dealings with Jabba and the Rebellion.
