I'm reading Eclipse. I love it so much. As a teenage girl, I am allowed to have a huge crush on the male lead.

The Vampire Lestat
Twilight- Stephanie Meyers |
Ysabel - Guy Gavriel Kay
Just finished East of Eden for class last week (FINE, month)... |
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
|
Heir to the Shadows- Anne Bishop. It's the second in a trilogy that I absoultely adore. I only like certain fantasy authors, but she is one of my favorites.
|
I just finished the last in Anne Bishop's Black Jewels triology and I was pleasantly suprised. Mostly because my mother recommended it to me and we have very differing tastes...most of the time anyway. But I really enjoyed it!
I devoured eclipse by Stephenie Meyer a few days ago. Her books never take me very long to read, but I love them all the same. I was very happy with Eclipse because I really hated New Moon, not because of the storyline, but mostly because it didn't have the magic of Twilight. I think with Eclipse some of that magic was recaptured. RIGHT NOW I'm finishing off Lost Souls By Poppy Z Brite. |
As You Like It - William Shakespear

I'm currently reading a collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories called "Call of Cthulhu and Other Wierd Stories". |
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. NO, this is not for school.
|
I'm rereading "The Complete Works of Machiavelli."
|
After Silence by Jonathan Carroll. Very Unsettling
|
I Robot by Asimov
|
A collection of 17th- and 18th-century Gothic stories from Europe and America.
Umberto Eco's The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana The complete works of Byron. The Corpus Hermeticum and Llewellyn's New A to Z Horoscope Maker & Interpreter ...something for every mood. |

That's not to say he didn't have some good ideas, just that they're nothing that can't be found in other philosophers, more lucidly. Mind you, I haven't ever been able to work all the way through Being and Time, but as far as I've gotten I've never seen anything to contradict my view. Save yourself the time and energy and go read Kierkegaard, being careful not to let his Christianity get in the way of his reasoning. |
I am currently reading THE HEART IS A LONELY WANDERER by Carson McCullers. Rarely if ever am I engrossed from the first page.
So far the book is a pleasant surprise. |
皆さん、今晩わ、
I am currently reading "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" by A. N. Roquelaure (pseudonym for Anne Rice). Hurrah for super sadomasochistic sexual relations. Impressed and disturbed by her imagination, Matt |
Ooh! That's a really good one!
I'm reading <<El misterio de Salem's Lot>> by Stephen King |
raggedyanne,
It is quite entertaining, but I have read better. I do realize that it is as much a satire as a serious work so I might pick up the other two in the series. Have you read the others? Wishing I had been keeping track of the number of times she said "buttocks," Matt |
Existentialism: From Dostoevsky to Sartre.
Selected and introduced by Walter Kaufman. And The Restaurant at the end of the Universe by Douglas Adams. That is, those are the books I'm reading for pleasure. I also have to read my Astronomy book, by English book, my UNIV book, the autobiography Warriors Don't Cry, the autobiography of Abbie Hoffman, the book Making Peace With the Sixties by David Burner, and my Political Science book. College is demanding so much of me. I love it! |
Ok, you cannot laugh. I have been reading A River Runs Through It, by Norman Mclean. Yes, the book that the movie was based on....reminds me of my younger days. Anyway, he is a good writer about growing up in B.F.E nowhere, a.k.a. Montana. Laugh, I know you want to. I have also been reading alot of Edward Abbey lately, Desert Solitaire, The Monkey Wrench Gang, Hayduke Lives!, Down The River, etc. I know, I am not worthy. But it sure is good reading!

I'm also reading Blood Bound, by Patricia Briggs. It's not erotica by any length, but it's interesting enough for a couple readings. Very supernatural/werewolf/vampire stuff. |
raggedyanne,
She also seems obsessed with using the polite words for things instead of letting her writing style slip deeper into raunch. I find it almost annoying, but that is just me, I prefer colloquial terms over their polite counterparts. Plus her obsession with spanking/paddling could be indicative of a personal kink, there are so many other sadomasochistic activities that she barely touches on or has missed all together. She does manage to delve decently into mentality of dominance and submission. It reminds me of "Secretary" starring James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. If only all secretaries were so enticing, Matt |
ROTFLMAO! You're totally right. It would be nice if she could throw in some slang. Scientific terms make me think of bio more than hot steamy anything. "Secretary" was an awesome movie. So pretty much we have an ettiquite obsessed writer with a hidden spanking fetish?
