Confiscated copy of School Rumble manga from my daughter. I'm like woah thats way too much drama for you heh but it 's pretty funny so I gave it back to her when I was done. Not long after i was poking around and found it was made into anime. So much for the manga.

Reading this aswell. Great opening, weak middle, signs of a great sprint into awesome at the end.
Scandanavian War Machine:
I'm still tip-toeing through Black Hills (which, after a strong beginning and dull middle, has finally picked back up again as it reaches it's final chapters), but I need to finish reading it before next week because I just ordered Gravity's Rainbow and I'm gonna want to start it as soon as it arrives. Wish me luck.

I'm burning through the Maturin & Aubrey novels by O'Brian and loving it. I wish I read slower though, because they're 16 bucks a pop and I go through 3 or 4 a week. On the upside once I finish a few I mail them to my grandfather, who introduced me to the Hornblower series, so hes enjoying them as well.
I think my fellow QC forumites should check out some James Branch Cabell sometime. His novels are a great read.

Just finished Atlas Shrugged. The book freaking changed me, someone derisively called me some sort of neo-libertarian in some thread I was pissing everyone off in, and I think this pretty much solidified that at the expense of minimizing my socialist values. I didnt eat up everything the book said, I pretty much get the feeling that Ayn Rand carved out her niche by being polarized nutbag on everything because she found out it worked though, so good for her I guess. The 65 page sermon by John Galt about 5/8ths into the book felt like work to read though.
What I took out of it was that I should be the absolute best I can at everything I do. Which is a pretty good concept.
Am now reading Ender's Game for some light reading and the fact that I am a sucker for a well titled book (reading Watership Down next.)
