"Programming PHP" pub by O'reilly.
I'm so out of practice... How you get Flash/PHP to create tables in MySQL?

I started reading The Picture of Dorian Gray. I'm still reading another book but I can't help start reading new books.

My pure black cat just had a pure gray kitten (among others). I just started calling her Dorian Grey. Maybe I should give that another read soon.
Currently reading Split Infinity by Piers Anthony

I just started reading a bunch of old books that I own including: Poe, Dahl, Tolken, Coleridge, Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, Kyoka Izumi, and a few others that I can't remember right off the top of my head.

Finally it has arrived! I'm well into reading the newest book in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Feast for Crows. Surely one of the best fantasy series ever. I love the cruel unpredictability of it, where bad things happen to good people, and the fact that the characters are not either clear-cut heroes or villains.

Just today, I started The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde. I suppose many of you have read it already. It's a classic you can't miss.

You know, you're gonna enjoy Angels and Demons more than the Da Vinci code. Trust me. It's also by Dan Brown

Yea, this kid at work told me that, but he's a sneaky bastard who tries to steal my hours so I didn't exactly believe him. I'm thinking about reading that one next though.

I'm in the middle of a history called 'Women Who Ruled'.
Forget that saying "Well if women ruled the world, then we wouldn't have any wars like you stupid poopy men!" because I'm telling you, women are some scandalous, bloodthirsty creatures.

The entire collection of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child; I recommend The las 6 books which are a sequel to each other and the main character is Special Agent A. Pendergast; LOVE IT!.
Book that I'm reading right now, named Nothing to Fear by Karen Rose; I do not dislike it but neither like it, I just want ot finish it properly; its about kidnapping and crime and the search of this kidnapped child.
Anyways, HI, I'm new here, I found out about this look up into google book reviews, and thanks guys there are few mention here that I'm going to read.
I aslo have the house of leaves; and I coudln't finish it, I dont know if it was because it sacred the hell out of me with that craziness right there or just because I didn't understand a thing in the book, but oh well I didn't finish it yet, and I have it since high school, like 2 years ago.
Saludos a todos, hi to everyone...

Necro, are you enjoying it?; because I love it... I just can't wait for the movie. Also I really dislike the idea of Tom Hunks for the role of Robert L. but now that I saw the preview I think he is going to do a great job!!!, he is a awsome actor.
To se the preview here.... http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/thedavincicode/

I received the entire boxed set of hardcover Harry Potter books for Christmas from my husband. I'm about 1/3 of the way through "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", and I've enjoyed them all tremendously.
After that, I'll start "Eragon", followed by "Eldest" (see T-Stone's post); then I'll read "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova.
Winter is my reading season.

I'm reading (not quite finished) The Complete Works of Lewis Carrol, Paradise Lost by John Miton, and I finished Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.
