Currently Reading...

lol currently reading...NEW MOON!

Finished Twilight this morning, after starting it...Saturday night?! teehee. I saw them on 3 for 2 in the book shop so I went in and bought them as I didn't know when I'd see my friend to borrow them again.

I LOVE Catcher in the Rye. Yum.

I bought Crime & Punishment and am planning on reading that after the Stephanie Meyers stuff.
Also want to read the Master and the Margarita.

if anyone else is on goodreads then add me

yeah I'm reading Breaking Dawn, and I'm taking my sweet time with it lol

I always finish book in like a week MAX and then it's like "well... what now?" lmao

I'm reading stupid All Souls for school. I really don't like it. Ugh so loooong. I hate reading :\

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. I'm one chapter in, and its sort of odd. Not bad though.

Rereading Harry Potter really slowly (cus I'm only reading at school). Will probably take me the whole year at this rate!

I just finished (for the third time) the book "Choke". I definitely recommend it, it's amazing.

by which author?

im guessing chuck?

Kiki is right, Chuck...I believe his last name starts w/ a P.

I've also just started in on the Twilight series, and being home sick for the past two days means I'm about half way into the third book. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Now I understand why my sister talks about them so much.

Palahniuk.
I love him. He wrote Fight Club and an awesome book called Lullaby

MMM yeh i've heard nothing but good stuff about him

i should start harassing the school librarian again

I just read Yakuza Moon by Shoko Tendo.

It's a true story about Shoko's life of sex, drugs, abuse and gangs in Japan. I loved it! But then, I'm obsessed with Japan, and reading about gangs.

Yeah I love Lullaby. Couldn't get into Haunted, though.

I just finished reading Nation, a new book by Terry Pratchett, and I really enjoyed it. I love Terry's writing anyway (it's so quirky). I know he's one of those authors that people tend to have a love/hate relationship with - I think the sense of humour has something to do with it?

Well, it's not set on the Discworld, but a parallel universe to ours. I'll link with some info from the Pratchett website:

Mau is the only one left after a giant wave sweeps his island village away. But when much is taken, something is returned, and somewhere in the jungle Daphne—a girl from the other side of the globe—is the sole survivor of a ship destroyed by the same wave.

Together the two confront the aftermath of catastrophe. Drawn by the smoke of Mau and Daphne's sheltering fire, other refugees slowly arrive: children without parents, mothers without babies, husbands without wives—all of them hungry and all of them frightened. As Mau and Daphne struggle to keep the small band safe and fed, they defy ancestral spirits, challenge death himself, and uncover a long-hidden secret that literally turns the world upside down. . . .

I really recommend people to give it a try, even if you're not a Pratchett fan - It was definately a thoughtful and well-written novel. It had alot of thoughts about various belief systems, which I thought was very interesting.

Yeah, I loved it!

Just finished World War Z. Yeah, it's about zombies. It was far better than I expected it to be; it's written like a report and it plays out like a documentary. It was... amazing.

I'm reading a book called Adverbs by Daniel Handler, the guy behind Lemony Snicket and it's...amazing. He takes an adverb and then writes a few pages of story on it, all about love. It's just...so good. As my friend said, the writing is so effortless.

Read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" last week
really amazing book, one of my favorites now!

Finished Burned by Ellen Hopkins on friday night/saturday morning
A good read, I liked it a lot, it was nothing compared to Perks but it was still a very interesting story

The Perks of Being a Wallflower like, ACTUALLY changed my views on life. It had such a lasting impact on me. I loved it. So much. I think every girl on this forum should take the time to read it... it's short, but amazing. It's a quick read - just a few days. DO IT. I swear.

right! bloody fantastic

re reading fight club... also have loves labours lost going on...and lysistrata for early civ...not so much of fan of that one


i need some new books

I picked up the Other Boleyn Girl on Sunday when at dad's.. it's dangerous going over there, he's across the street from a Borders! But...I'm nearly done, haven't been able to put it down willingly, except to start sketching concept ideas for my ren faire dress next year. I'll probably end up getting the rest of the author's books, I love historical fiction like this.

I'm reading "The Hogfather" just now and I love it. Perfect reading to get in the mood for christmas!

Reading War of the Flowers by Tad Williams. It is so amazing. Must be my favourite stand-alone book ever so far (and I've read a bunch). Wicked awesome fantasy, for any one that reads it, I totally recommend it.

Clicky for infos!

I'm starting to read The Great Gatsby
when I asked for it at the library Mr. Geary (Librarian) looked at me with huge eyes and said "this is a sec 5 advanced english class book."
and I said "Oh. O_O"
but he gave it to me anyway, and I'm gonna take my time with this one I think!

The Great Gatsby is one of my favourite books. We did it in English at Higher and I absolutely fell in love with it.

mmm yum yum.
