Got bored with 'Shirley'

Found a paperback collection of five of Shakespeare's plays (Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It, & a Midsummer's Night Dream) at a thrift store last week.

Presently reading Macbeth

Herbie Brennan's 'Faerie Lord'.

It hasn't got anything to do with fairies, but it's similar to His Dark Materials.

I'm reading an Dorling Kindersley book about Albrecht Durer. Plus I've got a pretty big stack of magazines about various artists to read on the side.

Just finished The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales. It was research for something I'm trying to write and it didn't help nearly as much as I thought it would.

She_Is_My_Sin 07-18-2008 12:23 PM

Neil Gaiman's 'Smoke and Mirrors'. I'm getting through quite a few books recently.

I just finished reading "The Cell" by Stephen King, who is one of my most favourite writers... this book is AWESOME and I recommend it to anyone who likes horror/science fiction books or Stephen King in general!

I remember reading that a while back, and then doing a Book Report on it for school and the teacher didn't believe i'd read it and that I'd actually written the report myself...

Hmm, I just finished

This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff for school, not the best or worst, much better than the last 2 texts which were The White Earth by Andrew McGahan and Far From Heaven which was directed by someone I can't remember.
