I just finished Pandora by Anne Rice, and I'm currently working on Starless Night by R.A. Salvatore. I'm picking at Jeanne Kalogradis' Covenant with the Vampire as well

The Problem of Pain - C.S. Lewis

Finally finished Zen Women, I find with books like that it takes me a long time to read since I'm soaking up all the info and trying to remember it all. But it was a very awesome book, would totally recommend it to anyone interested in Buddhism.

Now reading The World We Have: A Buddhist Approach to Peace and Ecology by Thich Nhat Hanh.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova.

Push by Sapphire. Its making me never want to have sex again, I don't know what I'm going to do when I watch Precious.

Pineapple_Juice 05-08-2010 04:26 PM

Picture of Dorian Gray still. Plot interests me-overly loquacious writing style and excessive descriptions of things I don't care about-does not. Maybe I'm just too dumb for ol' Oscar.

I keep picking this up in bookshops and then putting it down again. I would love to hear thoughts about it.

I'm reading Lord of the Rings, Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks and a selection of ghost stories at the moment, finished the Monkey's Paw by (I think) WW Jacobs at work today.

Vero 05-18-2010 08:41 AM

hm.. at the moment I must read "Die Wolke" by Gudrun Pausewang for school. But I read a lot. So if I want to tell you the books I've reading the last week, I won't be ready. The last book I have read bevore were al "blue bloods" by Melissa de la Cruz. And today I had to read the book "Lost in the USA" in the school.

I love that book so much. I read it only once, but I've been meaning to give it a go again. Just need to get through the huge pile I have right now.

I am going in another direction and reading Could Atlas by David Mitchell....really can't make up my mind about it just yet.

A Thousand Sisters: My Journey Into the Worst Place on Earth to Be a Woman by Lisa Shannon.

Pineapple_Juice 05-21-2010 11:48 PM

Finished Half-Blood Prince. Starting on the final tonight. I've been reading them all again in a week-long jam session.

Saya 05-24-2010 01:27 AM

Hahaha, I was in a bookstore yesterday with a friend who really loves Harry Potter, and as we were browsing we came upon the Potter books with the "adult" covers, in Fiction but not in Fantasy which I thought was weird, anyway I asked why they were called the "adult covers", and she said "they don't look so kiddie so we can feel better about reading children's books."

Anyway, just finished A Thousand Sisters, very wonderful book. I'm now reading R@pe: Sex, Violence, History by Joanna Bourke.

The Sandman:Book of Dreams it's a collection of stories edited by Neil Gaiman and Ed Kramer

tallied my books for this year, I'm up to 48 novels, 19 manga, 12 non fiction books. this is a great decloration of being a shut in.

Saya 05-24-2010 12:17 PM

Do you have shelfari so I can see this? Until then I'm assuming those novels are a collection of Sweet Valley High and Babysitter's Club :P

triggerhappi26 05-24-2010 12:27 PM

nah I always keep the reciepts from my library books, I counted them all up.

It's a precaution since I reserve the books online and it's actually a friend of mine who brings them to me.
