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.

Bleary eyed much?

Quite a list

what can i say? I love to read its my little obsession

War and Peace. :)

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!

I kept waiting for it to pick up, it always felt like the action was just around the corner. Then the climax came and went in the span of about two paragraphs. I liked the style that the book was written in and I did get a wonderful feel for the characters but there was just so much build up and no real release. Kind of like tantric sex without ever achieving orgasm.

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.

I just finished Brother Odd and started back into my Dragonlance collection
again last night.

Did you like it?
My 2nd Koontz book - thought it was kind of predictable though.

By Dragonlance do you mean the Chronicles, absolute re-read classic Chronicles?

I actually have an 1888 copy of "Childe Harold's Pilgrimmage". It's dissappointingly tiny but has three quarter binding and marbled paper covers ~ a very beautiful book. Like you mentioned though, it's a very tough read, and I have yet to get through it.

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.

The Screwtape Letters - C. S. Lewis

Finished R@pe: Sex, Violence, History. FINALLY. A really good read, I learned a lot and I'm definitely going to be using it as a reference book from here on, but I think I'm done with books that deal with r@pe for a while, and I'm still not over Push or A Thousand Sisters. I need something fluffy, so I'm reading Dead Until Dark.

Yeah, couldn't finish it. Wasn't on the edge of my seat to find out what Mary Sue Sookie would wear in the next chapter.

I forgot I didn't finish Oryx And Crake! So I'm back to that now.

This thread

I have heard good reviews about it, I am going to have to start reading the series.

the bachman books by stephen king. (collection of his earlier works)

******. Before that, The Vampire Chronicles.

Dracula, but not because I've jumped on the Vampire bandwagon, its just a very enjoyable read. Also some Schopenhauer, and a bit of Orwell.

Finished Oryx And Crake, alright but not as good as Year Of The Flood. Which is a good thing I guess, the third book will probably be even better.

Reading Jane Slayre :3

Straw Dogs : Thoughts On Humans And Other Animals - John Gray.

The Equality Illusion by Kat Banyard.

Working my way through a Grammar Book, No wait it is actually really interesting. My Little Leo (all of 3) pulled it off the shelf at Half Price Books here in Texas.

"The Deluxe Transitive Vampire - The Ultimate Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed"

Fool Moon from Jim Butcher.

I'm reading a lot of the genre that I'm writing - finished Vampire kisses, reading burned in the house of night, the dreadful last book in the immortal series (if you like your hero's stupid then Ever's the girl for you), Betrayal and shiver. i need to pull my eyes out and finish one of them. Started a book by R mead - the succubus but just didn't hold my attention.

and if you want a really disturbing book to read try the research part of parenting for a peaceful world - it talks about childrearing practices since roman times... cruel and terrible us humans are.

I just got done with a book called "The Toy Cemetery". It was boring beyond belief and I couldn't believe I actually forced myself to read the whole thing.

I am currently on book 3 of the Harry Potter series.
My friend brought them to school the last day and loaded my backpack up with them. She is making me read them because they are 'so good!'. As of yet, I fail to see what is so amazing, but they are good enough to hold my attention for more than one page.

Insomnia by Stephen King.

Also discovered that I have not finished 'Salem's Lot [also SK] nor The Witching Hour by Anne Rice, but I feel I need to try and tackle one at a time.

A pop-up book about elephants.

For some reason, Ophie, you just reminded me of the main character in Despicable Me. lol

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. The only movie adaptation I've seen was The Last Man On Earth, which is one of my favourite Vincent Price films but I hear Matheson was really disappointed with it. After I finish I'll watch the recent flick and The Omega Man.

Currently the Great Gatsby, Wuthering Heights, and No-No Boy.

Though reading is a dear pastime of mine, all of these books were assigned over summer. Kill me. But through the torture they each have their moments.

Let me know what the book I am legend is like. I'm still reading whatever it was I wrote a million pages ago. Almost finished Spells.

white oleander by janet finch, it is shatteringly beautiful

^ That was the first book I've ever read that made me cry. It really got to me.

Was reading Hannibal, and loving it, but I left it in my locker. Dx i'm now digging through my collection to find something worth reading. I began and finished the Host within 6 hours, though. It sounds like an accomplishment. ^-^
