I really tried to read The Host, but got really bored, really quickly. I read the twi books (all four of them) in four days though, which was pretty good considering I had a 4week old baby at the time.

I was a zombie bat!!

lolz I'd expect so. Twilight's an amazingly quick read. It was just something to pore through. I needed my mind occupied and I needed something thick. Unfortunately, I just wasn't in the mood for Eldest or Brisingr.

*nods in agreement*

For me, at the moment, its all about keeping the mind occupied, rather than the quality of the writing - but that's just the phase I'm going through at the moment.

it will change, maybe, when I get more sleep and less procrastination. ;)

Speak has just arrived, so maybe I'll get time to read that this week.

Boo sleep. Yay procrastination! We shall celebrate! (later...)

I think someone, probably you, mentioned that earlier, but i've got no clue what it is.

And if you're looking for quantity rather than quality, then you've got alot to choose from in the YA sections. lol

I love sleep - that's my problem. I was a 12hr a night girl before I had a baby, now I'm lucky to get four-five hours of broken sleep a night.

Speak - was a book recommended by Saya.

Yeah, loads of crap in the YA field - but that's the field I'm writing in, so I'm stuck there for a bit longer.

More procrastination... holy mackeral!

xD I'm close. 10 seems to be my limit.

lolz Yes, that's right. :3

What're you writing?

Amazing, isn't it? : P

Its great! Its only really short though, I was kinda disappointed, I didn't want it to end so soon, it was 169 pages and the rest of the book is short stories, so I'm still reading those.

You're reading Speak? Awesome! I saw it in Chapters the other day, they had a back to school YA display at the entrance. I'm going to pick it up one of these days.

heavier than heaven...gotta say i highly reccomend it if your a big Kurt/Nirvana fan veryyyy indepth

Cool. I'm going to put it on my big person's reading list.

I've got speak. I'm hoping to get stuck into it this week. I cheated and watched the movie (with Kristen Stew) in it. As baby bat gets more active, its getting harder to sit and read a book.

Baby bat has just spilled is breakfast drink - gotta fly.

How was the movie? I haven't gotten the courage to watch it yet.

It was really good. I thought Kristen Stew did a good job, but then I liked her in Cake Eaters as well.

I've read the first page, and am enjoying the speed of the book already.

All the short stories left in the I Am Legend book remind me too much of Stephen King (he has a blurb on the back saying Matheson was a huge inspiration, and you can really, really tell), so I'm moving on to Moral Disorder by Margaret Atwood.

Naked Lunch.

City of Glass - Cassandra Clare, then finishing Hannibal. :3

The Solitude to self:thinking of Elizabeth Cady Stanton by Vivian GoRnick

Algernon Blackwood short stories.

Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood.

Nothing at the moment - got any good suggestions I might be able to dig up at a local library?

The Biotechnology of Cannabis Sativa - Dr. Sam R. Zwenger

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

I keep alternating between Thus Spoke Zarathustra and The Genealogy of Morals. I think I am getting too much Nietzsche in my diet.

If I Die in Juarez by Stella Pope Duarte.
It doesn't matter if you guys don't live here; I heavily recommend it.

It does look like something I ought to read, not in any of the bookstores around here though, I'll see if the library has it when I go back to school next week.

Reading Half The Sky by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.

sstil reading PARADISE LOST.

it's hard but cool.

I'm also currently re-reading PARADISE LOST, concurrently with VARNEY THE VAMPYRE, or THE FEAST OF BLOOD. It's the entire serial collected into one book, and it's huge. It'll take me a while to finish.

I just finished a StarCraft novel by Christie Golden called Firstborn. I really enjoyed that book. I'm hugely into the StarCraft universe. I think it's Blizzard's best one.

Soon, I will get my hands on another copy of Song of Susannah, the sixth book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King.

Then I will get another copy of Pride and Prejudice. I got halfway through that before the library needed it back.

After that, it's either Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses or Thomas Pynchon's V.

Good reading, but the ending was anti-climatic IMHO.

There are more books I'd like to read than actually reading now. Then again there are also books laying around my house I've been supposed to read but giving up mid-sentence as a result of trying too hard on one fucking word. I do this all the time, even with shit I'm assigned to read in school and even when I know I'm gonna ENJOY what I have to fucking read but still I'm distracted.

Anyway, it's really just an over-thought habit I need to get over. Another habit I gotta kick is putting too much on my plate and setting Stefanovik up for disaster. I mean notice how I said books.

One of the main books I'd like to be reading is Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, but right now all I've been passively making the time to gaze upon are the following:

-Me and You and Memento and Fargo. A book on screenwriting.
Really good first chapter that epitomized the lost protagonist and related it to one of my favorites, Jim Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise . I wanna keep it going though I don't have much time to read a book of this length when it's due in a month. This is considering my lazy over thought habit, mind you.
While I'm essantially against reading BOOKS about IMAGES just like I am against self-help books (which this one pretty much is), I need some guidance before I take on the trials of writing a complete and presentable screenplay.

-The Films of Lars Von Trier. A thesis on the man's work. Huge fan.
I've literally only read the first few pages about (stoned as fuck) but I can already say I'm obsessed with the Dogme 95 manifesto. Come back. Please. Antichrist was good but it's clear we're in need of another cinematic revolt. But that'll eventually be my job.

ive just finished a book called EVIL? by Timothy Carter. very humorous lol

I'm reading a translation of Baudelaire's les Fleurs du Mal, and am about halfway through the Upanishads.

Northanger Abby by Jane Austen

Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jiff Lindsay
xD

I read that! Its actually decent, but I'm not going to bother with the other books, having spoilers on how silly they get.

I just realized I'm still not done Half The Sky. I'm really behind on my reading. School is not an excuse!

I read the Dexter books too. I don't think they get silly, exactly but I didn't love them. I saw the show first then started on the books. It's like the Sookie Stackhouse books and True Blood the show though- the books and the seasons of the show are two different things.

It's because they're different I want to read them, I finished all four seasons but I wasn't really satisfied, I need another scenario for Dexter.

The first season IS in fact much better than the book!!

Now I'm reading Dearly Devoted Dexter and I'm also reading One Hundred Years of Solitude!

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" is my all-time favorite book, I think. I loved it so much. After that I read a lot of his other books- the second-hand bookstores in the area had nearly every one of them. "Love In The Time Of Cholera" was another really beautiful book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. My third fave book from him was " Of Love And Other Demons." It's kind of dark which is probably why it's so good. If you haven't read those you should check them out! Also, if you have any questions about other books by him feel free to ask.

"The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and "Critique of Intelligent Design: Materialism versus Creationism From Antiquity to the Present" by John Bellany Foster, Brett Clark, and Richard York.

I think we have "Love in the Time of Cholera" at our uni's library.. It's kinda the only source for something that was written in the 20th century and not only classics!
I'll check it out once I finish this one :)

sharp teeth by tony barlow
and lonesome traveler by jack keruoac

I ran out of books! O:

That's not possible.

Swamp Thing, Book 1.
1984.
Interzone.


I multi-task like a champ.

Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
(awsome so far)

About to start Cresendo - I hope its a good book.

Still trying to finish: Burned (should be titled bored) and Linger (which the story has lingered on too far)

I want to get The duff next but I'll have to order it from the states.

´Lıngvıstıka ı fılozofıja: Ogledı o fılozofskoj utemeljenostı lıngvıstıke`, Dunja Jutronıć

Here, translatıon:
Lınguıstıcs and Phılosophy: Essays on the Phılosophıcal Foundation of Lınguıstıcs

I just started with the third book, Dexter in the Dark.
Still reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, it's a lot confusing given that everyone names their child like their grandfather\mother.. It's really annoying!!

Algernon Blackwood, "Sand"

Algernon Blackwood was an excellent writer. I think "The Willows" and "The Wendigo" were awesome.

im thinking of starting the Koran.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest - Stieg Larsson
