Books What are you reading now?

On the fiction front, just finished Red Dragon, very cool novel, and I'm starting on Preston and Childs' The Cabinet of Curiosities .

On the manga front, Bebop, what else. And some Korean manwha called Demon Diary, which is pretty good despite being cutesy and sweet enough to give someone cavities.

 

Interveiw with the vampire.

 

Harry Potter and teh Order of the Phoenix

 

I read a book on Vampires, so much info. I had also come across some interesting facts on real people who tried to bend to the wills of vampirism, there was some guy in Germany in the 1920's or 1930's. He was kind of like Dahmer since he was gay, he would bring his victims to his home (you can guess what they did till then, ewwwww). Then he would slit there necks open and drank there blood, disposed the body in a tub full of acid so there would be no evidence.:dizzy2: :bleed: :bleed: :bleed2:

 

i finished tad williams - the war of the flowers a few days ago, i am prob going to read robin hobb's assasins apprentice trilogy next.

 

That book looked interesting, but I haven't read it yet. Is it worth it? As a poor college student, I'm discovering (much to my sadness) that I can't expand my library with the freedom I could a few years ago, so I try to get recommendations before I buy books, and I also try to borrow before I buy.

So...worth it?

Last book I read, the first book I've had time to read in a long time was Phillip Pullman's the Subtle Knife, the sequel to Northern Lights. I had read it before, but I remembered none of it at all. I read it all in one day in Gran Canaria when I had **** bad sunburn and I couldn't go out. I'm currently reading it's sequel, the Amber Spyglass.

 

ooh, drunk nice choice

shadowbar.. i think it would be worth buying yeah, it's a standalone novel and it start off kind of slow but it's a really great story and the characters are really cool. i'd love to read more stories of that world, but i doubt it'll happen

it takes a lil while before things start to make sense, but once they do everything kind of falls together nice and easy

 

I recently re-read The Magic of Reclus, by L.E. Moddisett Jr.

- Ark

 

I just re-read Fight Club by Chuck Palaniuk(I might have messed up his last name).

 

Palahniuk, I believe (my brother just picked up Fugitives and Refugees a day or two ago, might borrow that from him to read). I finished Abhorsen, the third book in Garth Nix's series, a while back and haven't read much until recently. I started reading Across The Nightingale Floor: Tales of The Otori Book One by Lian Hearn. Pretty good so far and hope to finish it within a week or so (gonna be a pain with work and writing and such, though.) And I still have to bloody read Trainspotting.

 

finished "Warcraft - Lord of the clans" some week ago and it took 1 and a half day to read, I didn't read the whole day of course but it might have taken about 5 hours to read the whole book, which proves that I really liked this book

I've begun the third of these and it's called "the last guardian" and it will be read out soon

 

i finished a book called "The Wayfarer Redemption" by Sara Douglass 2 days ago. i'm currently working on a collection of Poe stories.

 

I finished Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson a while back. Now, I'm flitting between Idoru by William Gibson and rereading Dante Alighieri's Inferno.

 

I just finished "1984" by george Orwell. . .i think thats how you spell it. Summer english homework. >.<

 

That's a classic. Orwell's a genius. Animal Farm is good for a short read (it's something like 92 pages).
If you liked 1984, you should read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

 

i have read that one before. It was very good.

 

Harry potter and the order...blah... awesome

 

"The Amityvill horror" and Rush Limaugh's "The Way things Ought to be". The first one kept me up one full night, it was good right from the get-go. Since it is a true story, it really had me spooked. The second one is pretty entertaining for a political book, but it is also highly contraversial.

 

Good Omens by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchet. Is an excellent read and extremly funny. A nice little twist in the ending which i personally enjoyed.
