I think the Mayfair Witches series is far, far better than The Vampire Chronicles. They flow better, and the writing is of a higher standard.

Still, the characters from TVC are gooorgeous. Mmm, Armand.
Who are those by?

Marius is awesome, also. Never much liked Lestat, though. Much too melodramatic, blegh. And the way Louis is always so depressed and shit gets to me a little.

Armand is awesome. A Russian kid raised in 1500s Italy, lead a cult in Paris in the 1700s and now is the owner of an island. And Marius, a painter, poet, teacher and... lover. Oh er.

Yeah, I totally recommend Mayfair Witches to anyone who's read the Vampire Chronicles. Gooood stuff. Even just reading their history, which is mostly done in the form of letters between the Talamasca and informants and friends of the people surrounding them (covers like... three hundred or so years of their history, I think, probably more), it's so rich.

Servant of the Bones is great, too. And now she just writes about Jesus. Sigh.

I love to read, so I'm constantly discovering books I love!

My favorite right now is A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Definitely worth reading.

We had to read this for year 12 english. It was actually a pretty good book, but any book I have to study completely wrecks it for me.

Aw man! That's sad. I absolutely adored that book, though I did read it on my own time. Ahah. Mark Haddon is a cool dude. I also enjoyed his book A Spot of Bother.

The Lost Art Of Keeping Secrets, by Eva rice.

It's a story set in the fifties about a girl who meets a new friend waiting for a bus, and it goes into their friendship, relationships, the girl's tumbledown house and such.

It's just chick lit, but it's such good chick lit. Lol!

Gah I have a few.

Little Women- I read it for the first time in 4th grade and I've been reading it over and over ever since! I love it. ^_^

Memoirs of a Geisha- **dies** I looooooove this book! And the movie is the only movie I've ever seen that lives up to the book it was based off of.

The Complete Works of Edgar Allen Poe- It's Poe. Of course it's amazing

A House Called Awful End- For anyone who loves the Lemony Snicket books. ^_^

Any of the Royal Diaries books. I love reading about royalty. Very Happy

The Blood Countess- OMG it's amazing! A really great look into Elizabeth Bathory and her bloodlust!

Lolita- I just adore it.

Exstacy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance- A kinda twisted book. One story involves beastiality between a king and a sheep. The second has foot jobs given by a girl with no arms and a guy who uses melons as self-pleasure toys. And the third.... it's got a necrophiliac. And it's all very vivid. Yeeeaaahhhh.

Great Expectations - Charles Dickens

Actually, I'm totally in love with Charles Dickens I love you __ I love you
I don't know why but, in spite of many of the stories are similar, there's something in his narrative that captivates me

Some days ago I made a list of Dicken's books I have already read:

- David Copperfield
- Great Expectations
- Hard Times
- El Velo Negro
- Tales of two cities
- Haunted man/ down
- George Silverman's Explanation
- The Bloomsbury christening
- Sketches of Young Couples
- Old Curiosity Shop
- The lazy tour of two idle aprentices (written with Wilkie Collins, which makes it totally different!)
- Bleak House (summary)
- Cricket on the hear (summary)
- Christmas Carol
- Chimes


I have very old editions that my father found in little old book shops: 1903, 1915, 1963
I'm just in love with this man!.. Boz!!

Woooow. That's crazy, I've never read anything by Charles Dickens! Not even in school, which is apparently suuuper strange in a western country.

oo, we read a tale of two cities freshman year. I read great expectations on my own when my mum's dad gave me the book. I find it ironic that he died on June 9th, my birthdate. haha.
