Just finished today 'The Eye of the World', and I'm starting 'The Great Hunt', both by Robert Jordan (*cough* I'm a fantasy geek...), the second book in the Darksword trillogy's (Don't know if I spelled that right, too tired to care), and 'Vampire' by Manuela Dunn Mascetti. Oh! And Interview with the Vampire, I think. If I can find the book again... Hm.

Well, you know how there are a bazillion different editions of Dracula? I like looking at alternate covers of books, and I was in a used book store and happened to be in the horror section. I was looking at the Dracula covers and one was entitled 'Dracula's Guest' and it caught my attention. I think I peed.

"Dracula's guest is a self-contained chapter that was originally part of Stoker's manuscript for Dracula but was omitted because of the length of the published book." (The giant book of vampires, edited by Stephen Jones, 1994, Magpie Books)

currently steve martin's pure drivel. yeah, it's only 104 pages, but i only pick it up every now & then and read a chapter. and even at only 104 pages, it's chock full of wit & dripping with satire. so far, my favorite chapters are "dear amanda" and "taping my friends".


a couple of weeks ago, my daughter brought home neil gaiman's coraline. i read through it just to check it out because she seemed to really enjoy it.

quite a good little read.

i was also pretty jazzed to see it's going to be a movie, albeit an animated one.... in 2007.

I read four or five books a week... love my public library. I've run out of shelf space in the house, so I check out a bunch of books every time I go downtown; even with the inevitable duds, I always have something to read.

Lately, I've read *Haunted*, by Chuck Palahniuk. I've read all of his books, and they always make me feel supremely uncomfortable whilst reading them- in a good way. He makes most of the splatterpunk genre seem about as innocuous as Nancy Drew.

I just finished *Pocketful of Names*, by Joe Coomer. A good story, and at one point it made me cry, although I always get all weepy at the holidays.

Also, *Oh, The Glory Of It All*, by Sean Wilsey, is an interesting memoir. The author's capacity for forgiveness astounded me. I know I was lucky, but it made me appreciate my parents even more. RIP, Reverend Doctor Momzilla and (the original) Silent Bob. Many thanks.
