The Faber Book of Madness. Edited by Roy Porter.
The elliptical philosophy and study behind madness, containing poetic quotes from certain known and unknown writers along with unspecified jargon consisting of the ever-growing contingencies of psychological studies. All in my opinion of course. |
Professor and the madman and soon, The Rum Diary.
|
Marketing the menacing fetus in Japan by Helen Hardacre, and some steamy Yaoi novels (a.k.a male homosexual novels) on the side.
|
Human .4 for my school book club, has anyone read it?
.......and I'm rereading Sandman volume 5. The amount of checkouts I've made for that series must appall my librarians ^.^ |
20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill.
|
cult classic
The vampire novels are a bit like prose sa to ofer a differnce to what is usally meant by something of this fashion. Lightning through the thoughts of the abyss shows a mark on religion as taken by the stolen mind to refute and Panther's Bite includes the harvest of what subsides as indiffer3nt but to limit one's graces as a shallow return to nevelop reason by mystery that contains...two must buy, a bit costly, but never mind the pizza!

The heart and the fist by Eric Greitens.
Wow there really are humanitarians around still. |
Wuthering Heights. For a class on ghost stories. I hate it less every time I read it. Maybe with another 4 or 5 tries I'll actually begin to enjoy it?
|
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I'm pretty addicted to it. First time reading a book with so many pages. 600+
|
A game of thrones, so far so good.
|
Boneshaker
|
|
Hamlet and Fordham's An Intro to Jung's Psychology.
Both for class, but both worth the read. |
Lady Oracle, A Study in Sherlock, and the Steve Jobs biography.
|
The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, so far its depressing me. She's an awesome author but in some books like this, Cat's Eye, Moral Disorder, etc, the theme seems to be "women's lot in life is HORRIBLE."
|
Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite authors. She does tend to use her work as a way to comment on social issues, but so far I've never felt like anything she wrote was unreasonable. The Blind Assassin is incredible. Have you read The Handmaid's Tale? Because, geez.

Handmaid's Tale didn't depress me as much, might have been because I read it all in one night, whereas since I don't have much time for reading I've been reading Blind Assassin for a few weeks now. I think that and Year Of The Flood were my favourites. |
I like Alias Grace and Blind Assassin best. I've probably read the latter close to 20 times.
|
A Study in Sherlock. So far, I've loved every story.
|
I'm reading the Wheel of Time series again plus loads of classics. I would name them all but it's a massive list.
|
A Storm of Swords - yes, I caved after Game of Thrones withdrawal set in. The writing style is annoying, but I'm finding the storyline compulsive as fuck.
|
I've got a sci-fi kick going right now. Have been reading the Star Wars novels. Am now on "Heir to the Empire" by Timothy Zahn.

I have quite a few Star wars books in my collection, my favourite being `The Star wars Chronicles` which is amazing !!!. :) |
Been trying to read 'Salem's Lot' for about a month, but I keep getting distracted, first by the first installment of 'The Hunger Games' and then by Adam's copy of Jekyll and Hyde...I will finish this book.
