Re: What books are you reading now?
I envy all of you (in a good way!) for having the time to read!
(Because I'm stuck behind my computer, I joined the forum for some welcome distraction from the boring stuff I have to do.)
I have the whole series of eight Tim LaHaye and Jerry B Jenkins books waiting in the wings.
Have anyone read any of these books? Are they worth the trouble?

Sorry to hear that Dolce
Why dont you start a new thread and tell us why you suffer the " boring stuff " ?
I have never read any of the Books you mention , are they religious stuff or Sci-Fi ?

Re: What books are you reading now?
A friend thought it would interest me. I have a suspicion that it is religious books. I've had it for 4 months now but just don't have the time to start reading.The 'boring stuff' is the last stretch on the long road of completing a degree. It's not difficult but the volume of work is incredible. Since January until end April I had to finish 8 research assignments and at the moment preparing for exams.
BTW, I don't read Sci-Fi. I tried but simply don't enjoy it ... too 'iffy' and confusing.

Re: What books are you reading now?
Dolce, re sci-fi, maybe you've been reading less interesting stuff. I find the female writers much more interesting: focus on people and relationships more than technology, just in unusual settings. Try any of Anne McCaffrey's Pern series or Marian Zimmer Bradley's Darkover books. Will send a list if you like ...Wow, degree work does sound grueling; hope we're a welcome respite from the grind.

Re: What books are you reading now?
dandysmom, I love reading and tried a few Sci-Fi books in the past, all of which were very disappointing. At the moment I'm just trying to get through all the books I have to read before exams.December is usually my month for reading. If you can recommend the BEST Sci-Fi book you have ever read, I will appreciate it.
The forum is more than a respite. It's more of a temptation at the moment!
