you see he's got this really almost sick kind of humor, but not too sick. It's just right in my book. He is very similar to douglas adams...you know, so long and thanks for all the fish (hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy). He's an amazing writer, that Chris Moore, and funny as hell. Read Lamb and Practical Demonkeeping especially!

The Drawing of the Three
I'm about 3/4th the way through the Drawing of the Three. I must say the series is really good so far.

I just started Imperial Earth by Arthur C. Clarke. It's pretty good so far.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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?
