I loved White Fang too! And enjoyed Call of the Wild, although not quite as much as the former book.

Have you read The Courtship of Princess Leia? It's my favorite Star Wars book. I've been away from reading them as much as I used to and there are so many new Star Wars books to peruse now, I really need to get back into the habit!

[Nurkie]

I liked White Fang better also. I still enjoyed Call of the Wild a lot though.

I actually just started reading Star Wars books, so I haven't gotten to The Courtship of Princess Leia. Always been a big fan of the movies, just never got around to reading the books.

[Nurkie]

Finished Star Wars: Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber the other day. It is very good in my opinion. If you like Star Wars, and you like Zombies... read this book. It was a very good mix of the two.

[Nurkie]

I started reading The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis for the first time, well overdue I know.. I am now on the second book and I am quite enjoying it.

Still reading The Sea Wolf by Jack London. Its taking me a while because its my lunch break book. So I get about an hour, four days a week to read it, but I am loving it. I think I may like it better then the other two books I read of his.

[Moony]

I haven't read Narnia either, and I really should considering that Lewis and Tolkien were friends.

[Frith]

Maybe one of us should nominated the first Narnia book for April.....because I haven't read that series either.

[Nurkie]

Finished Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. It was my choice for last weeks read at lunch book. Very interesting. My first Joseph Conrad book.

[Nurkie]

I am a bit behind my goal for the year, but I am doing a lot better then most years thus far.

[Nurkie]

Had a few bad months for reading, but I am back on it now. I joined a SciFi book group that just started. Reading the first book now. I thought it would be a good read to motivate myself to read, while meeting other Scfi fans and expanding my knowledge of authors to read.
