yeah.
i was so excited when i saw it, cos finding a particular book there is kindof rare cos it's a second hand shop. but anyway, i read the passion about two years ago, &jeez, i absolutley fell in love with the way that she writes. i read the introduction/preface to oranges on the train on the day i bought it. and she sounds so lovely. like, i'd just like her to be my friend. or auntie. |
Today i bought jennifer government by Max Barry, i found it in oxfam.
I was then going to get the wasp factory by iain Banks as ive wanted it for ages. But saw a book in the recommended section in Waterstones, which had a review saying that it was more messed up than american psycho so obviously i had to have it. Its called 'Kill your friends' its by John Niven. I want to start them both but i am still reading the contortionists handbook, which is actually really good i just havent had much chance to read. Its such a short book and ive been reading it for ages. |
I am reading Bronte's Story
|
impulse by ellen hopkins
really good (albeit a *bit* trig at points, at least for me) :) i read crank too. and i wanna read the others by her |
Just finished Pretending You Care: the Retail Employee Handbook by Norman Feuti - it was hysterical, and at the same time, oh so true! Now I'm onto Threshold by Caitlin R Kiernan - who I love, so I'm looking forward to the book!
<3! |
I've just read 'the children of hurin' by J.R.R.Tolkien. I thouht it was brilliant, it takes a bit to get into though. Yu'll be rewarded if you hang in there and carry on reading :D
I'm now reading the history of middle earth. I like it apart from the editorial notes of the history behind each individual section (i just skp them) :P LOL |
i'm reading Daniella westbrooks autobiography.."the other side of nowhere" It's actually so much better than I expected it to be.
Next i'll be reading "young wives tales" |
I'm reading Hidden by Cathy Glass, first book i've read in a long while.
|
Is that good streetspirit? My mum's got it downstairs but I haven't bothered reading it yet as I don't know for some reason as torey hayden books have gone on they've got abit.. I don't know..boring.

|
|

I've just started reading Mick Foley's autobiography
He was a wrestler and I wanted to read it ever since it came out like in 1999/2000 It looks really interesting actually |
Just finished High Fidelity, I ended up really liking it, I didnt think I would at first.
And now I finally found The Amber Spyglass, I just started it. |
sarah: thats good to hear, because i only bought it cos i wanted to pay on my card and had to find another book to push it over £5.
to above: ah, high fidelity is so good. it's one of my favourites ever. |
The Lion and the Unicorn by George Orwell. I only started it this morning but I'm a fair way in already. He's been telling me what it means to be English in that beautiful, yet simple, way he does. Genius.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx |

I just read "Letter To a Christian Nation" by Sam Harris and "A mis amigos de la locura" by Ernesto Ruiz Ortiz. Both were amazing, though short.
I am now reading "The Night Listener" by Amisted Aupin (I hope I spelled it right). |
Right now, I'm reading Microserfs by Douglas Coupland and I've just started re-reading Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
|
This year's been the best year for me and reading (considering I only read two books last year!)
So far I've read Mauz parts I and II by Art Spielman (SP?) and am currently reading We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shilver. Yeah, that's only two but I hope to read more! |

Dead Over Heels by Mary Janice Davidson.
I have a pile of her books lined up to read, and I'm going to read 'Whores On The Hill' by Colleen Curran as soon as it arrived :) |
The Pact
Sybil Now i'm reading The Burn Journals |
i didnt like the burn journals, it didnt really go into whyt he did it or his feelings, mainly talked about all the hospital treatment he had, what nurses were like, who visited etc.
|
Im reading Twilight. I got it yesterday, ugh I cant put it down. I wish the author put in more detail and such though, she'll jump through two months in a page and it catches me off guard, I have to go back and reread. Haha Im just so used to Stephen King I guess.
|
The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
i think it's GENIUS! |
Just got done with The Alchemst not to long ago. Loved it soooo much. I'm currently about 1/2 way through The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, which is quickly becomeing one of my new favorites.
|
The last three really good books i have read were written by Cathy Glass, They are true life tragic stories of kids lives that get fostered as they have been abused in some way. Very touching, but i can relate to some:crying: .

I thought there was only Damaged and Hidden so far? |
I'm half way through Lasher by Anne Rice.
It's damn good if you like descriptive writing and fantasy, also if you have a soft spot for a bit o' erotic writing, which she likes to throw in...with witches *grins* |
^^ Wow, I just finished "The Witching Hour", and I have "Lasher" already but I think there's one in between them, isn't there? I don't want to start it until I make sure, haha.
Anyways, currently reading "The Complete Conspiracy Reader" compiled by Al Hidell and Joan D'Arc :) |
I have started reading Never tell me never
|

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - youwouldn'tbelievewho
Thin - Grace Bowman I'm watching you - Karen Rose I like to read several books at once |
thin by grace bowman is really good
it made so much sense to me i just finished reading the bitch goddess notebook- just wow. really good, and not trashy like i thought it would be (picked it out of the damaged box at work on a whim, and completely fell in love with it whilst reading) and am now reading slaughterhouse 5. which is strangely written, but so far very good. hard to keep on top of everything though- time kindof jumps around a lot. |
Duma Key- Stephen King
waiting for the new Laurell K Hamilton and Kelly Armstrong books to be out... i think i read too fast, it seems im always waiting for them to be written =] |
