I finished Gone by Michael Grant. Really good book like no lie it deserves to be a movie, it's something you'd find in an anime but its just more realistic

I'm reading The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman for school.
I am not liking it...but it's pretty educational, I guess.

Recently finished The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It was unlike Twilight so I thought I'd give it a try. Damn boring. Expected some more action. The relationships are woven around nicely though...but that's if you're the romance/relationship freak.

I'm reading Madame Bovary for three months right now >_<
I like this book, I really do, since I can agree with Flaubert with words "Madame Bovary, c'est moi"... But... There's so many other stuff to do and I really have no idea when I'll finish it... T_T Though, I can honestly recommend it to anyone who's living dreams (accually, hm, every girl ;p) Truth 'bout women, sad but true, ladies. ;p

I am currently reading Necroscope by Brian Lumley. So far it's great, it's part of horror series with vampires(the evil kind), still, so far they were not that present in the story. What I really like, are the two main characters and their powers, one of them is a necromancer and the other is able to speak with the dead.

I also started The Dresden Files series but I don't think I will continue with it, pretty boring and with a series like this, if you don't care much for the main character then there really is no reason to read more.

Currently overloaded with college work:

- Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (very good in terms of writing technique; good book to write a paper on)
- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard (hilarious)
- The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde (Half the characters are tsundere. Irritating)

I'm reading The Anatomist: A True Story of Gray's Anatomy by Bill Hayes.

Not Grey's Anatomy the silly show. Grey's Anatomy the surgical anatomical book from the 1800s.

Before that, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

I'm not reading anything at the moment, but I just finished Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson and The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.

Wintergirls was really good, The Lovely Bones... I kind of expected more.

I just bought The Tempest today, kind of for school but partly because I kinda like Shakespeare (I had to buy the version with the translations, though, cause I like the wording of the original but I also like to know what's going on XD)

Nice to see I wasn't the only one underwhelmed by Lovely Bones. The first part was good, but after halfway into it, it kind of fell apart.

Van Allen's Ecstasy by Jim Tushinski

I might check out other books by the author since he has pretty good insight on how family reacts to personal struggles as well as what it's like to be the black sheep among them.

A Tale of Two Cities

Erm...I'm really only reading it because of its classic status/popularity, etc...it feels like a chore to read so far :|

Mad Angel by JD Phillips

I've had this on-hold for a while...I lost interest in it after cheating and looking at the ending -_-...but, so far, it's my least favorite of the author's books anyway.

The Passage by Justin Cronin. At first I thought it was a zombie story, but it was more of vampire type creatures and a post-infected world. Kind of like I Am Legend but on a bigger scale.

Finished that Brave New World a while ago, along with Death of a Salesman(Arthur Miller), Pyongyang: A Journey Through North Korea(Guy Delisle), and the Noughts and Crosses trilogy(Malorie Blackman). All lovely reads, especially the first three(including BNW).
Went to see the play of DOaS on Thursday, it was good, but missed Grey's Anatomy because it ended at 10:40pm, meh go ahead and smack me for liking it.

Currently reading the Book Thief(Markus Zusak), but it's not exactly a plot-driven book(although it is flawless in writing), so I'm reading Behemoth(Scott Westerfeld) and my TIME magazine subscription since 2007(rereading) on the side. Also hoping to pick up The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana(Umberto Eco, translated by some dude) again.

Yeah I read that last year, hell of a book, you'll like how the ending goes. Also speaking of Zusak I'm currently reading his other book I am the Messenger (can't remember if the is supposed to be there or not). Good book but I think it's rather a quick read.

Just recently finished my final year of school, and I had never been so happy as I am now.

Currently going through a reading blitz.

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (translation; suggested by a teacher because we were studying Nineteen-Eighty-Four by Orwell)

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (translation of course; suggested by the same person)

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams (I know, not of the same caliber as the previous two)

The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins

and

The Hound of the Baskervilles by sir Arthur Conan Doyle (been meaning to read this ripper for a long time now)

loving. them. all.
