I'm reading.......

Of Mice and Men =]

Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson

I'm reading the other boleyn girl by phillipa gregory
I was also reading 1984 but that was because it's one of my set texts for english. It's a good book, but I'm getting a bit sick of it though because we've been annalysing it so much.

Passing for normal: tourettes, OCD and growing up crazy.

It's actually ok so far, for some reason I thought it was going to be terrible but I've already learnt a lot and it's not self indulgent at all.

Reading rocks.

Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk is getting here around wednesday, so I should be reading that soon!

Are you enjoying it hun? I thought, by the end, that it was quite good. Not genius, like, but still enjoyable and at the same time utterly horrible!

Dead Famous - Ben Elton. So very funny.

Carrie
for the 100th time probably lol
i <3 her aha

^^ Im reading that too! Great book... I lovvve Stephen King... Not too mad bout his new stuff tho..

Im reading 'The Tenth Circle' by Jodi Picoult.
There are some graphical scenes and some triggering elements to it but I like it.

I just finished 'Thanks for the Memories' by Cecelia Ahern, it was very very good!

atm i'm halfway through american psycho by brett easton ellis
possibly the most disturbing book i've ever read.

and i just finished slaughterhouse 5 by kurt vonnegut

^ Do so, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!

I love American Psycho, there's so much going on all the time, and like Exquisite Corpse it's truly disgustingly horrible! hee hee!

I'm about 3/4 way through Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.
Enjoying it a lot (Y)

Just finished Go Ask Alice yesterday, as well as Guilty Pleasures by Laurel K. Hamilton.

Today, I'm reading Memnoch The Devil by Anne Rice.

I love it, makes me think so much!

Has anyone read Inkheart?

Just started Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis again. Want to see will I enjoy it as much as the first time. Then it's American Psycho time :D

Just finished Charly
It is a Mormon book but good all the same.

Nothern Lights - Philip Pullman

(not by choice though, i'm not usually into books like that)

aw i'm reading northern lights at the moment too.
but i can't really get into it because i keep thinking about how TERRIBLE the film was.

Read carrie stephen king, way gorey wicked stuff.

The Life of Hunger by Amelie Northomb
It's about her eating disorder and more widely the philosophical question about hunger in us as humans, such as the hunger for knowledge and experience. It's ****ing incredible. I would LOVE to write something like this one day but she's just too good!

Just finished Carrie and now Im reading Silence of the lambs... Again!

flowers in the attic - Virgina Andrews

very good

The Virgin Suicides (I've given up on Northern Lights for now)

The Mermaids Singing - Val McDermid

Very good so far, only been reading it for just over a week; less than 100 pages to go.

I've just finished The Kite Runner. Such an amazing book, made me cry a little in parts. I haven't seen the film yet but from what i've heard the book should be read first.

The Chocolate Lovers Club - ???

The Edible Woman by Margaret Atwood.

It is pretty horrible I agree, although it's nothing compared to Easton Ellis's American Psycho. If PZB was too much, that would definitely be! Although I can't remember him actually eating them.... Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)

I just started Wild Boy (Jill Dawson), about a boy raised with wolves (true story) and brought up the whole nature/nurture debate again, which I am fascinated by. It's a novel but kind of researched and set in a real story. I'm loving it so far but I'm only 50 pages in. I think it has some stuff about autism in it further on and I'm looking forward to hearing her thoughts.

Keeping Faith, by Jodi Picoult.

Join Me by Danny Wallace...books very rarely make me laugh, this one does :)

...Danny Wallace is God hehe

The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold

Someone else thats heard of Danny Wallace!! Looove him. Just pre ordered his new book!


I've just finished reading The Ripple Effect and Only In America by Dominic Holland, both incredibly good and people should definatly read them! I think you can get them off amazon used for 1p.

Currently reading "A Bright Red Scream."

The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud - Ben Sherwood

Currently reading...I can't remember.

Just finished reading a set of books by Karin Slaughter. They were good, I really enjoyed them. Wee bit gory, but I really really liked them.
Except thru the 6 books I got all attached to the characters and then one died. It made me sad. Up until that point tho they were really good, I can't wait till the next one.

Change of heart-Jodi Picoult

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad

Reading it for next semester....really can't get into it!

Remember Me? - Sophie Kinsella.

It's tres tres goooooooood :-).

Nineteen minutes - Jodi Picoult
But I just skipped to the last part and found out the ending
Why must I do these things to myself?!

Is it good?

Ali xo

Stardust - Neil Gaiman.
I absolutely loved it, the first couple of pages were dry but the story really picked up. Its a really good blend of different fantasy elements. He depicted a great world haha.

Im going to read Howls Moving Castle next.

All of my SIer friends have read this book, have you guys?

Wasted by Marya Hornbacher

It's excellent, really tragic, funny at times, and you know that it's all so true. It's about a woman who's been dealing with her ED since she was 9. It gives a lot of hope, I think, but in a realistic way.

But Inside I'm Screaming

Just read Girl, Interrupted again
and Manic.

Next up is Wasted
then I'm going to read Before I Die & Really Unusual Bad Boys :)

The Wire In The Blood - Val McDermid

Catch-22
Very confusing at times
*Goes off to read*

It was such an amazing book, i'd really recommend it.

Voss - Patrick White
