Cheers for that. Will have a look next time I'm in town. Have to say though, I am enjoying Haunted so far.

Eh, to each his own I suppose. The only bits I thought were interesting involved the pool and the foot jobs. After that I had to have copious amounts of tea and a full 9 hours of sleep any time I wanted to read it and stay awake. Dunno how far you've gotten though.

this morning I am beginning to read The Ghost Writer by John Harwood.
I hope this one is good enough to read. I feel some gothic emotions in this book.

I just finished reading '******'. I'm currently reading 'Lonesome Traveler' by Kerouac, which I'm probably going to give up on because it's as impenetrable and annoying as Desolation Angels. I'm going to start reading 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert soon.

Maxim_Macabre 01-11-2009 05:21 AM

I'm currently reading "The Fist of God" by Frederick Forsyth, again.

I hate that you're forever devouring stuff I didn't find until a few years after you. Makes me feel like I wasted my teenage years.

Brother Odd by Dean Koontz

Devil's Darling 01-11-2009 10:53 AM

You want to know what a bigger waste of time is? Ragging on people who have, or are currently reading Twilight.

Re-reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.

PinstripesAndPithHelmets 01-17-2009 06:15 AM

I'm finishing Ender's Shadow. It's quite good.

L.olita by Vladimir Nabokov... but I'm doing a lot more writing than reading at present.

Vivi 01-18-2009 05:14 AM

Disaffected Shoelaces 01-22-2009 12:09 PM

The Devils by Dostoyevsky.

Memoirs of the Crusades - Villehardouin De Joinville

Wow...you think we have problems with the religious right now, back then they were religious right, left and center! Abandon your farm where you at least had food, march on foot thousands of miles (if you lasted that long) and die to leave your bones in the desert just because a pope got up and told you to do it or you would go to hell. And if you lived long enough to get there, you fight the infidels (yes, the Christians called the Muslims that!) giving them the choice to convert to Christianity, or die. Jesus obviously would not approve. Talk about high pressure sales!

Coraline- Neil Gaiman
Heard about the movie coming out here in the U.S. and wanted to be able to compare them them to one another.

Guilty: Liberal victims and their assault on America.

Very funny with lots of statistics.

dbloke 01-25-2009 09:29 AM

Have just finished Matheson's I am Legend and now reading Bram Stoker's Dracula

Tam Li Hua 01-26-2009 12:37 PM

I'm on the third book in V. C. Andrew's "Dollanger" series, If There Be Thorns.

It's not the best literature I've ever read, but I just can't stop reading! I'm going through a book every couple of days! They're like crack and an impending train wreck at the same time. XD

You spelled Dollanganger wrong, and it's true that she's not the best writer... but at least it's not Twilight.
