Recently finished: "A Rare Breed of Love" by Jana Kohl

Currently reading: "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova

Once I finish this, I'm going to begin "Point of Origin" by Patricia Cornwell. (I adore everything I've read out of her Kay Scarpetta series, so I'm sure it will be a good read.)

Werther - Goethe (2nd time)

Just finished Wise Children by Angela Carter; it was amazing.
I'm currently re-reading Anne of Green Gables for about the billionth time--just because it makes me laugh--and I'm reading We Are The Ones We Have Been Waiting For by Alice Walker.

Stephen King's IT. I got half way through it before but I chickened out, I'm determined to finish it this time.

At the time being, I'm reading "The Great and Secret Show" by Clive Barker! :) (Next up, "Everville" by the same author, it's the "sequel" book to the "Show"!)

Jillian May Scortfil 09-23-2008 12:25 PM

Arashi, I've read the "Historian" and I must admit that I rather enjoyed reading it! I've already read it twice but I'm seriously considering reading it a third time! :D

Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman, just finished up American Gods by Gaiman and I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.

I am currently, re-reading "Catcher in the Rye," and also reading "Misery," by Stephen King.

Despanan 09-24-2008 07:14 PM

I've got a copy of Fragile Things sitting next to me right now, and American Gods is my favorite novel. Have you gotten to the American Gods novella in the back of Fragile Things yet?

Catcher in the Rye is awesome. I read that back in highschool and freaking loved it.

Currently I'm reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Choelho.

Nocturne Midnight 09-24-2008 08:32 PM

I liked The Alchemist. It was pretty good.

I'm reading:
1984 by George Orwell
Black by Ted Dekker
Devil May Care by Sebastian Faulks
Dragonquest by Donita K. Paul
Pet Semetary by Stephen King

As well as a myriad of old comic books.

Garden of Shadows-V.C. Andrews
I love both of them!

~Angel_Of_Darkness~ 10-05-2008 09:48 PM

Heh, I'm reading Mary Poppins. I love old children's books like that.

I also have absolutely nothing else to read, anyway. Although I recently finished "Tweak: Growing Up On Methamphetamines" by Nic Sheff. A pretty amazing memoir of a meth addict. Finished it in two days. That's why I have nothing to read: I read way too damn fast.

TheBloodEternity 10-05-2008 10:15 PM

I'm trying to stretch everything out because I normally go through things so fast, so I'm still on Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame by Bukowski and Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman, and after that I shall start Neverwhere.

BUT, I got into Beta so my mother is going to take me out to buy some new books. I want to get Good Omens and/or Smoke and Mirrors, Killing Joke, and maybe Catcher in the Rye as I have managed to *not* read that by now. I'm also going to look for a decent compilation of Lovecraft stories again.
