I'm currently immersed in the novel "American Gods" bu Neil Gaiman. It's quite good so far, even though I'm only one quarter of the way through it.

I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and it's really good so far but I haven't had much time for reading so I'm only about half way done even though I started a few weeks ago

the Kalevala and Shogun.

Devils of Loudun by Huxley. I'm wading through it slowly (he does go off into some rather airy realms) but it's yummy as I enjoy Catholic history from when the church was all sorts of decadent and messed up.

That books is so much crack.

And has forever warped the way I look at leprechauns.

In this moment I'm reading a lot of psychology books because I have to do a task for the school..

I'd prefer a good mystery's book...

Books of Blood 1 thru 6 by Clive Barker.

More than one monster in more than one story delights in mangling cars until it ignites the gas tank and sets itself on fire.

Otherwise I love it so far.

Macbeth by Shakespeare

Despite being tricky to digest, I'm liking Macbeth a lot.

Gone With The Wind.

The Cosmic Code by Heinz R. Pagels. It's this weird quantum physics book from the early 80's. Sweet.

I just finished reading 1602 and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I reall liked that last book.

About to start The God of Small Things

I'm reading a manga called "Death Note". It hasn't yet been licensed into English. It's an odd mix between being boring as fuck and interesting as hell.

I'm also reading Ron Chernow's bio of Alexander Hamilton, for whom my son is named, and White Devil: A True Story of War, Savagery, and Vengeance in Colonial America.

I'm reading The Historian also. I bought it for thirty five New Zealand dollars about two hours ago.

I think it looks like it's going to be a lot like Umberto Ecco's novels........Focault's Pendulum(sp)which I read in the nineteen eighties!!!!!


What do you think? (I've only managed about 20 pages.....)

Faustus 09-04-2005 05:10 PM

DOCTOR FAUSTUS by Thomas Mann
 
Really and honestly, this is the greatest and most powerful and most disturbing work I have ever read in my entire life of fifty-seven years!!!!!!!

Urmm The Vampires Interview

insomnia by stephen king.

ThwanCondu 09-06-2005 05:32 PM

The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Doctor Who: The Clockwise Man. I like Hunchback, though it's slow paced. Doctor Who is vaguely amusing, but nothing tops a good performance by Tom Baker or Christopher Eccleston!


Ex-teerrrrr-minate!

Just finished reading Forging the Darksword and a chapter in my physics book. XD

LegendGirl 09-15-2005 06:45 PM

I'm re-reading "Violin" by Anne Rice. It's sort of strange, but it's fun to read at night with minimal lighting.

edible_eye 09-15-2005 06:58 PM

the bone collector by jeffrey deavers.

the book kicks ass over the movie.
