ORIGINAL: wadcorp Re-reading Frank Herbert's Dune for the third time. . Funny! I've been thinking of re-reading that one as well! Great minds Phil, great minds! I'm reading: The Dead Lands by Benjamin Percy - a post-apocalyptic reimagining of the Lewis and Clark saga, a super flu and nuclear fallout have made a husk of the world we know. A few humans carry on, living in outposts such as the Sanctuary-the remains of St. Louis. Against the wishes of the Sanctuary, a small group sets out in secrecy. Led by Lewis Meriwether and Mina Clark, they hope to expand their infant nation, and to reunite the States. But the Sanctuary will not allow them to escape without a fight (from Goodreads.com) This reminds me a little of The Stand by Stephen King, its really interesting. Skippy Dies by Paul Murray - this one cracks me up. Skippy really does die right at the beginning of the book. It's about teenage boys in an Irish boarding school, some bullies, some odd ones, some hilarious. The writing is very good - I'm really enjoying this one. The blurb on Goodreads was awful - so I didn't include it. I use Goodreads… uh… a lot.
