I'm reading "Entre el amor y otros demonios" -Betuine love and other demons-. Is just for skool work...I'm not a big fan of reading books...:(

I'm reading a Magic: The Gathering book. The first one in the Ravnica cycle. I find that they are well written, and I may start collecting them.

Im reading William Blake, mostly. He's really brilliant.

I didn't have too much time to read a book, except the college's books. But i was reading 'A History Of The Breast' of Marilyn Yalom and until now i'm finding it really interesting.

Last book I read was the last book in the Otherland series by Tad Williams (GREAT series). Been trying to find what I did with the first two parts of Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars so I could reread them (also great). Planning on picking up a copy of Snowcrash whenever I find time to hit Chapters.

the Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton

I finished reading my first romance novel, "Dark Gold", which I only read because it was about vampires. It sucked. The sex scenes weren't even that hot because she used the word "velvet" to describe everything. I was sad because it otherwise had an interesting story, but there was so much bad sex...

Now I'm reading the Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman. It has cobwebs on the cover, is about the two sons of a Spider God and was purchased at an official Neil Gaiman book reading/interview/signing - I really had no choice.

The Grace Project by BJ Worth, about a guy with a terminal disease who must find this spiritual doctor to cure him. Very dark, with a great ending.

Cloudsplitter by Russell Banks. It's a historical fiction novel based on actual events in the life of the abolitionist John Brown. It's told from the perspective of one of Brown's sons that wasn't killed in battle or hanged, in older age in the form of writing letters to a historian that came to his cabin and asked him about his father.

I've enjoyed reading it so far, and I have about 200 pages left to go. I'm reading it so I can discuss it with a family friend and do some writing to get me back in gear to go finish high school.

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Quite hilarious.

I'm reading Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. It's been described as 'doing for werewolves what Anne Rice did for vampires' and I must say it's quite good.

I'm reading The Lone Drow by R.A. Salvatore

Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens

I'm reading The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter, it's wicked - really dark and twisted, and beautiful at the same time. Yeah, yeah, I know how pretentious I sound, but it's true all the same!

I've just finished "Gehenna: The Final Night" by Ari Marmell. It's good, if you ever knew the old WoD by White Wolf and read the Clan Novels. But I don't know what to read right now, I can't find anything that I like (I guess I'm "judging a book by it's cover"), but I'd appreciate that someone would be cooperative enough to give me some titles of books s/he liked, so I can check them.

Ooops. Sorry. Didn't see there's a thread about that. Ignore the second part of my last post. (couldn't edit it)

If you like fantasy then the Wheel of Time serise by Robert Jordan is good. I'm reading them in between my R.A. Salvatore books.

Invasion of the Boy Snatchers
 

Hmmm... Preppy Girl? You should probably introduce yourself.

By the way, just out of curiousity, why did you pick that name?

I'm all about accepting others, but...I'm just curious if you did that on purpose or took a wrong turn?

I'm reading Search for a Messiah, a book about Old Testament prophecy and the Dead Sea scrolls.

On their profile they say that they are happy that they are not goth. I smell troll.

Speaking of Kelly Armstrong, you should also check out her Women of the Othwerword series. I also think the stuff Laurell Hamilton does with Faeries is better than her vampire stuff and Ive got to give a shout out to my favoruite Vampire author, Nancy Collins, and her punk/goth kick a*s vampire Sonya Blue.

I have just picked up "The Picture of Dorian Gray", obviously a copy of the first printing and not the censored one. Ah, love!

That is a wonderful read! I am quite the Wilde fan though.

A site I recommend to everyone for some literature is the Literature-Network Online:

http://www.online-literature.com/

It has tons of free literature (its where I read Picture of Dorian Gray) to read over the internet, lots of literary classics, its kept me busy through many late nights, and maybe it will help others do something constructive on those nights where there isnt much sleep. Sorry, I know this might belong in SHILL, but its just a site where people can find literature to read and I think its more useful here in this thread.

This gets better. More Oscar Wilde fans.

A picture of Dorian Gray is excellent.

Horror - I want to try not to be hypocritical and accept all...plus, I forgot to introduce myself too. I was trying to be nice, not snooty. But yes, my untrained n00b nose also caught a faint whiff of Eau de Trollesque...

Anyways, I also trudge through The Law by Plato while I eat my morning Cookie Crisp.

I will check out Wilde myself now...hadn't had the pleasure yet!

At the mo, Im reading blackwood farm by Anne Rice, I was reading dracula by bram stoker but I got bored of that.

That one is good. More of the succubus/cross-genderal eroticism, not that it bothers me but some folks tire of that easily.

Anyone here ever visited the Project Gutenberg site?

I'm about to start reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I hope it's good, but I doubt it'll be as good as my english prof makes it out to be. He's obsessed with it.

Insanley jelouse, got to wait 'till xmas for my copy. Stooopid Jesus.
Just in the process of finishing High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

Nearly finished The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. It was okay, but near the end it has gotten preachy, stating that Love is the uniting force of the universe...

I am now reading Endymion; same author, the next book in the series. I forgive Simmons for the end of the last book, as this one is not letting me down.

Dune by Frank Herbert.

I'm reading Rise of Endymion; the fourth in the series. It's still good.

Just about to pick up Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

Oh! Ender's Game is a good book. I read it in my sci fi class. I hope you enjoy it.

Just finished "The Undead", permuted press' zombie anthology. They juiced up the old shambling mess, stepping away from the stereotypes for some gory fun. Many of the stories are thought-provoking. My favorite has t.v. producers capture zombies, sticks them in an underground labyrinth, then send in humans to try to survive and turns it into reality t.v.

good social commentary on that one.

Narcissus and Goldmund by Herman Hesse

I'm rereading The Picture Of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde.

What a wonderful book!

Blackwood farm - Anne Rice
