I just bought The Road, A Game of Thrones, Kitchen and In The Miso Soup. The first two have come highly reccomended so hopefully, I won't be disappointed by them.

Daemons Are Forever. It is like a paranormal James Bond, and there are plenty of witty lines and thinly veiled jabs at pop culture.
|
The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland.
|
The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, by H. P. Lovecraft and Exquisite Corpse by P. Z. Brite.

I am Ozzy - by who else? Ozzy Osbourne. DAMN FUNNY! I laugh out loud with every chapter! Just a small sample:
"One time, I'm eating this cabbage and it tastes like soap...I'm sick to my guts and I don't want to die from fucking cabbage poisoning. I'm just about to say something when my dad gets back from the pub, hangs up his coat, and sits down in front of his dinner. He picks up his fork, stabs it down into the cabbage, and when he lifts it up to his mouth there's this lump of tangled wire on the end of it! God bless my old mum, she'd boiled a Brillo pad!" So far it is almost all like that! Hilarious! |

Now reading Graceling, by Kristin Cashore. Like it so far... I have been too busy sleeping through sickness the last couple days to read. However, dreaming makes up for it.
Did I just use 'bacon' as a verb..? ...Maybe.... |
I'm reading ******, which is not as disturbing as I thought it was going to be. I mean, it's not 100% pleasant, but it's not American Psycho disturbing.
|
Just finished reading Dante's Inferno. It was a good book, I love the poetic irony he uses in some of the punishments for different sins. Now I have to read Paradise and Purgatory, which will probably not happen for a while. Still though, if anyone's interested and hasn't read it I suggest they do so.
|
Dante's Inferno was awesome. I said as soon as I returned it, "I just KNOW that someone is going to make a video game out of this, the settings are perfect". Sure enough... of course, the game has NOTHING to do with the book(from what I hear). I want to see the anime.
Has anyone read 'Childe Harold's Pilgrimmage'? I couldn't get very far past the second canto.... |
I just finished Brother Odd and started back into my Dragonlance collection
again last night. |

My 2nd Koontz book - thought it was kind of predictable though. By Dragonlance do you mean the Chronicles, absolute re-read classic Chronicles? |

My daughter just got Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith. I am soooo reading that, after I finish Ozzy's autobiography.
|
I just finished Little Women and Werewolves. Surprisingly enjoyable, to say the least.
|
I just realized the third part of a series I really enjoyed, Shadowrise by Tad Williams was realesed about 3 months ago. I thought it was coming out on July for some weird reason.
And anyway, now I'm re-reading the first 2 parts, Shadowmarch and Shadowplay, because I basically forgot what happened and need to refresh my memory. |
War and Peace, by Tolstoy.
Also re-reading The Child-Thief, by Brom. It's a retelling of Peter Pan.. I love Peter Pan stories. :) |
Reading the first Jim Butcher book someone lent me. I can't remember what it's called.
PS-I always wished I could sit through War and Peace. I'm jealous of you, Kor. |
Yay new books to read
Thanks to this thread I have some additions to my plan-to-read list. I'm currently reading "Pretty Little Dirty." It's by Amanda Bowden. Picked it up at a book-fair not expecting anything much but to pass some time and I'm loving it.
Damn good story of best-friends growing into themselves amongst artists, drugs, sex & punk rock shows. |
I just started Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series *again.* There is so much information there I feel I need to reread them to take book twelve in the proper context.
|
I'm about half way through A Game of Thrones and then I have War & Peace to start myself. I also have Kamikaze Girls to finish.
