The Bartimaeus Trilogy: Book One
"The Amulet of Smarkand" by Johnathan Stroud.

You know, I thought this book was going to be kind of juvenile from my friend's description of it, but I am actually enjoying the storyline. It's a new perspective, from a "demon's" point of view.

Interesting Fantasy Fiction.

Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women by Susan Faludi. I thought the title sounded sensationalist but apparently its really amazing. Someone recommended her book Stiffed: The Betrayal Of The American Man (which from what I understand is about the masculine mystique Betty Freidan very briefly mentioned and how sexism harms men too) but I thought I should read this one first.

Yep it's one of my favourites. It's one of those movies that succeded in not dragging on and on...
There are so many quotes that I can remember...but the saddest one of all -

Quote:
My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While, everyone else was agin', I was gettin' younger... all alone.

"Cordelia's Honor (book 2, Barrayar)", first book of the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Next up is yet another Hugo Award Winner- "Downbelow Station" by CJ Cherryh.

Between McMaster Bujold, Kim Stanley Robinson, the eternally present Ursula KLeGuin and now C J Cherryh, it's all Hugo-award winners lately. Oddly, Hugo Award winning science fiction novels have a tendency to skew slightly toward support of humanitarianism and relative socialism with a utopian end vision rather than the fiercely militaristic/ libertarian capitalist stuff that makes up a lot of science fiction with a more military bent.

(and dear god, it's saying something when there's a more military bent to something than Cordelia's Honor. Sodding isolationist Barrayans)

Right now, as in now..I'm reading my classmate's shirt. It's got a lot of funny prints. Earth-friendly quotes like...

"Conserve water...Shower with me." haha.

I'm going to read "The Brothers Karamazov" because people have said it was a great book and it was by the same author who did "Crime and Punishment" which I thought was awesome.

finished book one of the Bartimaeus Trilogy, waiting for the second... in the meantime, reading "Eleventh Hour" by Catherine Coulter which is a true crime book... I'm actually not too thrilled at this one, the way she's writing is bothering me. I can't pinpoint the exact reason why, but her character development is very vague and almost like someone in middle school wrote it. She jumps around a bit too. I don't recall reading any of her other stories, but I wonder if its is just this book.... hmm

"Moonchild" by Crowley. It's incredibly hard to follow and really doesn't get going until 100 pages in. But it's picked up enough to where I enjoy it.
