Books we get for school are pretty easy to read, for me at least. I hope we get some Russian literature someday.

I'm read The God Delusion.

I like it, because it clearly lays out a lot of what I already knew, but did not know how to describe.

It is very good. Notes from the underground is good too. If you are interested in Russian literature I suggest starting with A Hero of Our Time.

Turn of the Screw - Henry James

Hey anyone know if Contortionist's Handbook had anything to do with Catch Me if You Can or if it's just a coincidence?

That's a lovely little story. It's so perfectly told.

I just finished reading Undead and Unwed; I didn't like it as much as I'd hoped.

Finished reading "The Dunwich Horror"

Lovecraft is awesome.

It's fucking awesome.

Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth. I think I like it even better than American Pastoral (wich I didn't think he'd ever top) - it's shorter, more savage, and hilariously painful. Or maybe painfully hilarious, whatever.

Tales of The Undead

Geoluhread 11-28-2009 07:45 AM

Dracula... But I can`t seem to get past the 200th page.. After Lucy's dead, why continue?

Sendo 11-28-2009 08:41 AM

Vampires, Burial and Death: Folklore and Reality by Paul Barber.

turtlehammer 12-01-2009 09:22 AM

Mother of the Believers. Not something I'd normally read, but a pretty insightful tale (albeit fictional) about the birth of Islam.

Katrina Michaels 12-02-2009 08:44 PM

Madhouse by Rob Thurman

the-nihilist 12-02-2009 09:14 PM

I am currently reading the Freddy vs Jason vs Ash TP.

Geoluhread 12-10-2009 03:18 PM

I finished Dracula.
Reading The Pillars of the Earth. That`s a big-ass book.

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.

The Count 12-10-2009 05:04 PM

"Mysteries of the unexplained"
It's a book full of all sorts of strange things like UFO sightings, Strange deaths, weird coincidences etc.

Still Jack 12-11-2009 12:56 AM

A play.

Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Der Besuch der alten Dame. It's so awesome it may actually be my favourite written piece.

I absolutely love this book. I've read it twice.

I am currently reading a selection of essays on PR by Edward Bernays for my next essay.

I saw that in a bookstore, is any of it any good?

I just finished reading Johnny The Homicidal Maniac and Squee, both by Jhonen Vasquez.
