The Haunting of Hill House--Shirley Jackson

I've always liked the 1963 movie version and now I see the book is even better....but that is usually the case.

I just finished coraline

I'm reading "Sexual Knowledge" its a "sex-ed" book from 1917. I've learned a lot about how masturbation can make you a "slope shouldered sissy" or prevent you from "receiving the crown of womanhood". I'm so glad I was born in the latter half of the 20th century.

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. Good, quality arguments here, no BS or cop outs and almost anyone can understand his logic.

JethroAranas 01-20-2010 06:15 PM

Cosmicgaunt 01-20-2010 09:00 PM

That book sucks.

The Physics of Immortality: Modern Cosmology, God and the Resurrection of the Dead - Frank J. Tipler. I've had it for a while now and have only just got round to starting it.

"Ferrets for Dummies."

I am reading it to make sure I take very good of my furballs.

How is it? That's one of the few I haven't read.

I'm reading The Message in the Bottle by Walker Percy.

"The Last Watch" - Sergei Lukyavenko (again)

ivett16 01-23-2010 03:12 AM

reading romeo and juliet . i read it all the time

Saya 01-24-2010 10:32 PM

I finished The Year Of The Flood by Margaret Atwood today, was pretty good but probably should have read Oryx And Crake first.

Reading Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. Its bad, but at the same time its at least entertaining. So far.

Alan 01-24-2010 10:52 PM

The Federalist Papers. I am not going to enjoy that.

Malice In Wonderland 01-25-2010 11:54 AM

Franz Kafka compilation.

Saya 01-25-2010 09:39 PM

I finished Bitten. Didn't hate it but didn't like it either, wouldn't recommend it. Armstrong needs to learn to show, not tell. I could skip the protagonist's long, long angsty rants explaining how she's feeling about the situation at hand and not miss anything.

Now I'm reading Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. I find it weird I found it at HMV.

ivett16 01-26-2010 09:06 AM

romeo and julet love that story

Geoluhread 01-26-2010 10:51 AM

I`m torn between finishing The Master and Margarita, Wuthering Heights and Notes from the Underground (Dostoyevsky)

Anyone got an opinion on what should I start with?

Read Wuthering Heights first. It's a favorite of mine. Altho, Notes From The Underground is damned good as well.

I'm currently reading Stein On Writing by Sol Stein. Supposedly one of the best writing books around. We'll see....

The diary of a chambermaid, by Octave Mirbeau

Charles Baudelaire - The Complete Verse

Naked Lunch 01-27-2010 04:42 AM

Just something from the pack of Vampire books I downloaded.
Yes I know, I am a torrent download whore.

Geoluhread 01-27-2010 07:41 AM

Torrents FTW!!

@Man In Room 5: Thanks! I`ll do just that.

It was lovely, despite the fact that the actual point of the story only happens at the end and everything else is just drinking and talking.
