The Screwtape Letters - C. S. Lewis
|
Finished R@pe: Sex, Violence, History. FINALLY. A really good read, I learned a lot and I'm definitely going to be using it as a reference book from here on, but I think I'm done with books that deal with r@pe for a while, and I'm still not over Push or A Thousand Sisters. I need something fluffy, so I'm reading Dead Until Dark.
|
Yeah, couldn't finish it. Wasn't on the edge of my seat to find out what Mary Sue Sookie would wear in the next chapter.
I forgot I didn't finish Oryx And Crake! So I'm back to that now. |

the bachman books by stephen king. (collection of his earlier works)

******. Before that, The Vampire Chronicles.
|
Dracula, but not because I've jumped on the Vampire bandwagon, its just a very enjoyable read. Also some Schopenhauer, and a bit of Orwell.
|
Finished Oryx And Crake, alright but not as good as Year Of The Flood. Which is a good thing I guess, the third book will probably be even better.
Reading Jane Slayre :3 |

Straw Dogs : Thoughts On Humans And Other Animals - John Gray.

The Equality Illusion by Kat Banyard.

Working my way through a Grammar Book, No wait it is actually really interesting. My Little Leo (all of 3) pulled it off the shelf at Half Price Books here in Texas.
"The Deluxe Transitive Vampire - The Ultimate Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed" |
Fool Moon from Jim Butcher.

I'm reading a lot of the genre that I'm writing - finished Vampire kisses, reading burned in the house of night, the dreadful last book in the immortal series (if you like your hero's stupid then Ever's the girl for you), Betrayal and shiver. i need to pull my eyes out and finish one of them. Started a book by R mead - the succubus but just didn't hold my attention.
and if you want a really disturbing book to read try the research part of parenting for a peaceful world - it talks about childrearing practices since roman times... cruel and terrible us humans are. |
I just got done with a book called "The Toy Cemetery". It was boring beyond belief and I couldn't believe I actually forced myself to read the whole thing.
I am currently on book 3 of the Harry Potter series. My friend brought them to school the last day and loaded my backpack up with them. She is making me read them because they are 'so good!'. As of yet, I fail to see what is so amazing, but they are good enough to hold my attention for more than one page. |
Insomnia by Stephen King.
Also discovered that I have not finished 'Salem's Lot [also SK] nor The Witching Hour by Anne Rice, but I feel I need to try and tackle one at a time. |
A pop-up book about elephants.
|
For some reason, Ophie, you just reminded me of the main character in Despicable Me. lol
|
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. The only movie adaptation I've seen was The Last Man On Earth, which is one of my favourite Vincent Price films but I hear Matheson was really disappointed with it. After I finish I'll watch the recent flick and The Omega Man.
|
Currently the Great Gatsby, Wuthering Heights, and No-No Boy.
Though reading is a dear pastime of mine, all of these books were assigned over summer. Kill me. But through the torture they each have their moments. |

^ That was the first book I've ever read that made me cry. It really got to me.

Was reading Hannibal, and loving it, but I left it in my locker. Dx i'm now digging through my collection to find something worth reading. I began and finished the Host within 6 hours, though. It sounds like an accomplishment. ^-^
