Das Kapital by Karl Marx
The Big Questions by Robert C. Solomon
Their eyes were watching god by Hurston
Hyperspace and Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku

I find it boring reading one thing so I skip around when I'm bored with one.

I'm about to start reading The Count of Monte Cristo. I was gonna start Catch 22 first, but Count looks more interesting, especially after watching Gankutsuou.

I started reading 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' yesterday.
My gosh it's funny, especially if you've read the original. It's just Pride and Prejudice only everyone keeps catching a plague and turning into zombies and all of the Bennet sisters are trained in the 'deadly arts'. Lots of ninjas too. And Mr Darcy's got some badass sword. X'D

I am taking a break from fantasy and reading some horror. Reading Nathaniel by John Saul, i thought the 1st book by John Saul i read was quite bad, did not even finish it and that is quite rare for me, but now i am glad i gave this author another change and i can say Nathaniel is quite a good horror book so far, it most definitely has the right atmosphere.

btw trying to find some interesting horror novels on the net is quite hard, everybody keeps mentioning S.King.

About to start reading Atom Bomb Blues, a Doctor Who PDA novel by Andrew Cartmel. I utterly love him and his fanwanky theories; DW fans should thank him for the "lonely god" motif in the new series, it was pretty much his idea ♥

Sir Terry Pratchett's Soul Music. Damn, I love this dude. Discworld is just amazing xD

Also, a little bit of rage: I CAN'T FIND FEIST'S MAGICIAN LIKE, ANYWHERE. (I mean legit books, not some stupid e-books or something. I don't want to have to read it on my pc D:)

You should give Richard Matheson a try; his horror works are quite brilliant and very frightening.

A few days ago I've finished "The Time Traveler's Wife" from Audrey Niffenegger. Really good book, however a little obscene at some parts.

I'm about to start "Marley & Me" from John Grogan. Feels super overrated, but I was too curious to read it (I've seen the film first).
At first I was like ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)ノ. But then I was like ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌.

MacBeth. I read this a while ago, and have picked it up again. Trying to decide wether the witches are real or not (leaning towards real because Banquo sees them in the beginning, too).

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.

Great detective novel, this is actually my 1st Poirot novel and so far I like Poirot quite a bit more than I like Miss Marple. Christie's novels are so addictive, already ordered 3 more of her novels :)

I just finished the Hunger Games last night. It was freaking brillant, been awhile since I've been on the edge of the seat like that. Going to pick up Catching Fire tomorrow at the library, sadly I will have to wait till the 24th of August to pick up the final book in the series, but meh I am sure it will be worth the wait.

Probably in the mean-time I a going to read The Catcher in the Rye(Yeah I've never read it :'(

Re-reading 'The Graveyard Book' by Neil Gaiman.

It's marketed as a children's book, but pretty much anyone with any sense of humour can enjoy it. It's sort of dark, but it really shines. Gaiman is brilliant that way; it'd be awesome to live in his day for just a day.

Finished Neuromancer, that was interesting stuff, can see the significance of this masterpiece. Didn't know it was a part of a trilogy though, will have to get my hands on the other books later as well.

Starting After the Long Goodbye by Masaki Yamada next, from cyberpunk to cyberpunk.
