| I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak, 160 pages in and it's pretty awesome :] |
| I just finished reading "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. Currently working on "the five people you meet in heaven" also by Mitch Albom. |
| Finished Dune yesterday and it was a nice read. Though I had a tough time at first getting used to Herberts way of writing (or the translators), I will try out the second book some time since the first's ending is just too open, moreover Arrakis is quite fascinating. I'm going to start Ken Folletts Eye of the Needle next. |

| Started re-reading Narnia- The Horse and His Boy. I like it BUT DAMN YOU C.S LEWIS. Where's the romance ffff. |
| I've just started reading Duma Key from Stephen King and I'm about to finish the book of a Hungarian author, Lenkei Gabor, its title would be translated as Uncensored Health |
| The Mysterious Mr. Quin by Agatha Christie. Ah, I just love her detective stories. They're simply the best. |

I got an autographed copy of "Have a Little Faith" =) hehe I am also currently reading "eat pray love" by Elizabeth Gilbert I finished "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by Frank Baum yesterday :) |
| Currently reading For Whom the Bell Tolls by Hemingway for a world history class. I'm only up to chapter 8 so I can't comment. I suppose it's okay so far. |
| "The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy". It's been quite amusing so far. |
| Trolls. Can't live with them, can't live without them. Because they barge in to every thread YOU can find, that's why. |
| The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. It's not as fast paced as Snow Crash, but it's a decent read nevertheless. |

| I'm reading The Divine Comedy by Dante. I'm reading it for a class, but I've really gotten into it! |
| “It’s not so much that I care about what you’re doing, but the idiotic way you’re doing it.” Vincent Valentine |
| The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Luiz Zafon, 96 pages in and it's quite interesting. |
madbrilliant said: I'm reading The Divine Comedy by Dante. I'm reading it for a class, but I've really gotten into it! Ok guys, your translation to English must be really interesting. And simplified. Seriously, this was the most boring book I have ever read in years, had to read it aloud in the middle of the street to get through it. End every two words there was a foot note about who were they talking about. Reading the footnotes was probably the most interesting part of the thing. |

| I just recently finished "Tuesdays with Morrie - by Mitch Albom" and now I'm currently working on "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" also by Mitch Albom. It's honestly feels like I'm reading the way I should live my life. |
| Just finished reading Acheron. It's a book from the Dark Hunter series (not that I have read any of the others) Damn that was a good book. Read it straight through from start to finish and it only took me 10 hours. Great mix of history and myths. Really the book is one big melting pot of ancient Gods, Demons, Vampire etc etc and how they all tie in to one mans story. If your into a bit of darkness (which there is a plenty) and a little bit of romance mixed in then this is heaven. |
| Sunshine by Robin McKinley -- As far as vampire books go, this is 100x better than Twilight (tho, is that really saying much?). The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway -- Second time. Dammit, what English teacher assigns an essay on a book you were supposed to have read 7 months ago? On the Beach by Nevil Shute -- Because nuclear apocalypse. |
| I am reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, incredibly entertaining so far but i don't find the main heroine as likable and fascinating as most people who have read this book do, i care a lot more for other characters. |
 |
apocalyptic_cake said: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen I don't know why I'm reading this... but as far as I have read I find it ok. |
| The Vampire Lestat- Anne Rice (Must say, I am REALLY obsessed with the series) To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee (Good so far) The Catcher in The Rye- J.D. Salinger (For the 14 time...I miss him >< ) |
 R.I.P J.D. Salinger <3 |
| The Piano Tuner by Pascal Mercier. After having re-read Night Train, it's time I start on his debut work.. (But, I gotta be honest here, right now I prefer to watch a little anime, hahaa.) |
| I'm reading a 19th century Hungarian book right now, the author is "Mikszáth Kálmán" and its title is "Új (=New) Zrínyiász". The title is made from "New Ilias" and the name of a historical person, Zrínyi. It is about a patriotic lord who died in the 15th (?maybe) century together with his men while protecting a fortress from the Turks. Then one of the archangels or whoever makes a mistake and they are resurrected in the 19th century. It is quite funny, like for example how they mistake the train for a monster and they want to fight it. :) |
| I'm going to read 1/2 Prince again or some other yaoi manga |
| Sig deleted for being too large. |
| Currently reading Alice in Wonderland because of the movie & all. Really want to read the Boogiepop series but it's difficult to buy them here, so I'm waiting for my friend who's studying in a different country to buy it for me =) |
 |
| I'm currently reading Eeeee Eee Eeee by Tao Lin. It's kind of strange. |
| HSROSE. HOSRE. HORSE HORSE HORSE HORSE. |
| Finally finished everything I was reading! I'm happy about that. I started yesterday Histoires de Vampires et Morts Vivants (in the original French because the title seems silly in English: Stories about Vampires and Zombies) by Alexandre Dumas |
Waratte Oemashou Sore ha Chiisana Inori |
| 1Zz ReAd1nG tW1L1GhT Cuz iTs LYk Maiii FaVA BuK not reading a book, but im researching surrealist art techniques atm for my art class which, though interesting, takes a bit of reading |
| I just finished Handle With Care by Joudi Picoult...god it was so depressing. Extremely meaningful and emotional at the same time. Not my type but it's beautiful. Gonnas start on Agatha Christie next. Now THAT's my type. |
 |
| Just finished FANG by James Patterson. <3 Made me cry, because I am such a softy. Now I'm finishing Looking for Alaska by John Green. (; |
Currently watching: Naruto Shippuuden.    " I'm not a coward - only human." |
| Finally finished up the Foundation trilogy, which I enjoyed enough to put I, Robot on the reading list. Parts of it are a little dated, but it's genre-defining science fiction with a strong sense of history, and I could really get used to Asimov's sparse writing style. The occasional hints of snarky atheism don't hurt, either. New projects are The Neverending Story and Flowers in the Attic, both at the insistence of the same friend (who neither is nor--to my knowledge--ever was a teenage girl, making the second recommendation fairly hilarious). |
| Anything from Terry Brooks, such as any given book from the Shannara Epic. That guy's the man. |
| I really couldn't be bothered to come up with a clever signature at this time. So right now I will go ahead and say nay and move on with my business |
| Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I picked it up because the synopsis mentions something about 'modern-day samurai' and my brother recommended it. So far, I'm not sure I like it, but I'll keep at it. The language is a bit, uh, punk-speak, I guess, but the analogies are crazy awesome. The main character is a sword-wielding hacker who calls himself Hiro Protagonist. Yup, Hiro Protagonist. |
| Now I'm reading "Krzyżacy" ("The Knights of the Cross") by polish noblist Henryk Sienkiewicz. Actually, I hate that kind of books, but I must read it for school. Krzyżacy tells the story of the young poor nobleman Zbyszko of Bogdaniec, who with his uncle Maćko of Bogdaniec is returning from a war against the order of the Teutonic Knights ("Knights of the Cross") in Lithuania. In a tavern inn he falls in love with the lovely Danusia. The history of the actual German Order of the Teutonic Knights, which from the 13th to the 16th century controlled large parts of the Baltic Sea coast, and its defeat in the Battle of Tannenberg (1410)/ Battle of Grunwald by Poles and Lithuanians serves as the backdrop for the story. The novel also focuses extensively on medieval life and customs in both the cities and the country in medieval Poland. It IS the most boring book I ever read. I just want to stop reading it. |
"I'm not small, I just live in a big world."   |
| Poland gets more interesting around World War 2. You know that cavalry you're reading about? Well they used the same cavalry to try and fight some Nazis with tanks. History tends to get a bit exaggerated at that point, which led to some Nazi paintings of spear wielding polish cavalrymen charging at tanks... >.> Anyway currently reading: Douglas Adam's Restaurant at the End of the Universe and Friedrich Nietzsche's Human, All Too Human. |
 |
| Nights in Rodanthe - a book about a woman who is incharge of running her friends in for the weekend with only one visitor because there is going to be a huge storm. well, one thing leads to another and they fall in love. The last song - no, i'm not reading this book because the movies coming out and mley cyrus is going to be in it, but i generally find it a good book. About a seventeen year old girl who is forced to stay with her father for the summer, and embarks on an unlikely summer romance. imma Nicholas Sparks fan. |
 "It's just...a bad dream! Wake up, wake up...!" |
| Sword of Truth Book 8: Naked Empire - it's still the same heavy-handed, unsubtle, monotonous writing after eight books in the series, yet I've made it this far so I guess I'll finish the whole thing. Maybe it would not take as long since the writing leaves so little to glean about that skimming through it would not diminish the enjoyment experience. Night of Knives: A Malazan Novel - the first of the supplementary novels written by Ian Esselmont, it's not as lengthy as those by Erikson, and not as elegantly written either. It's slow paced and lacking in scale compared to the main storyline but, hopefully, Return of the Crimson Guard would be a step up. |
    |
| Just finished The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon. It's part biography of the explorer Percy Fawcett who disappeared in the Amazon in the 20s, and part history lesson about the area and the effect its mystery has had on people. It's a really great book, though not exactly in a gripping, can't-put-it-down way. The author really put his all into the research for the book, and even traveled to the Amazon himself in search of a final conclusion. The ending definitely doesn't disappoint :) Also, I found out they're making a movie about Fawcett starring Brad Pitt. SCORE. |
 |
| "Brave New World" - Aldous Huxley. This one is for schoolwork, though I personally enjoyed the story greatly and certainly got my brain to think again. I'll have to re-read it a second time for annotation; it'll be a bit of a chore, but I think I won't mind with this book. |
| The Zombie Survival Guide - Max Brooks and once I'm done I'll start World War Z (same author) the horrid grammar is funny. rawr zombehz :3 |

| ..The Sight by David Clement-Davies a book about a a white wolf named Larka who has this power called the Sight and she has to use it against her aunt Morgra ,who also has the Sight, before she uses it to summon the evil Worlfbane ... its actually pretty good and somewhat sad |
| "I love humans! I love them! I love them all sooo much!" |
| I am currently reading an anthology : Wastelands Stories of the Apocalypse I love post-apocalyptic fiction so this is a must read for me. So far i have only read the first 2 stories, a Stephen King story that was quite good and also a story by Orson Scott Card, this one was quite predictable and i did not find it that interesting, looking forward to reading the rest. |
|
| The Mortal Instruments:City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare.. It's a fantasy series of four novels and city of ashes is the 2nd book.. |
