O'Brien
He also wrote Going after Cacciato...things they carried is awesome

I like to read!
 

I'm reading Mercy by Jodi Picoult (I've already read her books My Sister's Keeper, Vanishing Acts, The Pact, Plain Truth, and The Tenth Circle). I'm also reading Little Women for school (I'm on part 2). I just finished Pretties (the second book in the Uglies trilogy...which actually has 4 books now).

I have just started reading Sickened by Julie gregory

yeah, what happened was that i was in oxfam at work, and it was really dead. so i just picked up the book to read while i was working. i read it for about an hour and i was totally surprised by how good it was. i ended up buying it, obviously.
i guess probably because it's more than just "i got drunk this happened that happened i passed out" which is what i thought it was going to be. the writer addresses some different issues in it aswell.

Just about to start Alchymest by Paulo Coelho :)

Just finished "The Heroin Diaries" by Nikki Sixx and now Im reading girl, interrupted for like the zillionth time!

I'm reading 'We Need To Talk About Kevin'
It's really hard to get into at the moment but I've been told it gets better

dracula, was AMAZING. i want to read atonement next. we need to talk about kevin is like the best book i've ever read
xo

I'm about 3/4 way through A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce, and I'm enjoying it. Though, it's a pretty heavy read at times it's still very good.

J.K my English teacher adores James Joyce and has a picture of him on his classroom walls and frequently talks to the poster >.<

I'm currently reading the original novel of Sweeney Todd. It's really good, completely separate from the musical and movie though.
After it i'll be reading Dexter: Darkly Dreaming by Jeff Lindsay.

I'm reading The Historian right now :]

I loved Dracula when I read it!!!

I'm currently reading Stephen Fry's autobiography Moab is my washpot and I adore it with a passion

The Discovery of Heaven, by Mulisch
it's an awesome book, I've read it six times now, and it still amazes me.

And to keep in that direction, I'm now reading Dante's La Divina Commedia. Only because I don't have enough money to buy a copy of Paradise Lost by Milton (I've read the divine comedy already).

Currently reading: "The Witching Hour" by Anne Rice. Finished all the vampire novels, moving on to witches, haha.

It does get better and is a brilliant book but I know my mum struggled with it till close to the end.

I've just read crying wind or something and now have a choice of 'intellectual books'

ive just finished twilight,new moon and eclipse. the story follows a girl who falls in love with a vampire.

best books ever

Just finished "The Bell Jar" - Sylvia Plath [which I found strangely relaxing and reassuring considering the author, guess im just weird :P] , and am currently reading "Heart of Darkness" - Joseph Conrad, and "Life of Pi" - Yann Martel

I'm reading 'From the Edge of the Couch' by Dr Raj Persaud. It's really very boring so far, but hopefully it'll improve. I've only just started it.

Finally finished 'Brave New World' the other day (haven't had much time for reading =[), but it was really good. Definitely worth reading.

i'm going to have to read brave new world in the next couple weeks too (for uni).
i already had the lecture on it but i just sat there clueless cos i hadn't read it yet.
i hate uni :(.

I just started reading Damaged last night and it had me in tears..for various reasons..
but yeah it's just another thing thats persuading me to foster children when I'm older

it was good. i liked it.

1984

John Locke's book, I forget what its called and I cba to go look lol.
Its...confusing.

'Candy' By Kevin Brooks.
Amazing book ^_^

Pascal's Wager. I forget who it's by, and I can't be bothered finding out. 'Tis really interesting, though.

I just finished it the other day and didn't even realise how far I was to the end til I looked
It's such a good book
I'd definitely read it again

My Sister Jodie by Jacqueline Wilson.

I had to read some articles by John Locke in a philosophy module that I was doing. It was so difficult! Can't believe you are manageing to read a whole book! Philosophy still gives me nightmares!!!

I am currently reading a lot. Keep starting things and just giving up because I am still really struggling to read!

Eldest By Christopher Paolini
Life, Interrupted By James McConnel
Statistics Without Tears By Derek Rowntree (For uni!)
i, robot by Isaac Asimov
Mansfield Park By Jane Austen

Then on top of that I have my other uni books

3. Economics book
4. Psychology book and sometimes stats for psychology!

ARGH!!! Its crazy! Got so much work to do!! ARGH!!!

Does anyone else find it hard to read for pleasure while at uni?

I am reading Broken Open by Craig Hamilton

Currently, and for uni, I'm reading King Lear.
But in general, I'm reading;
Gormenghast - Mervyn Peake
1984 - George Orwell &
A is for Ox - Lyn Davies

the time traveller's wife.
mega good.

You have amazing taste in literature. <3 I love Sylvia.

I'm reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte at the moment...

I loved Moab is My Washpot when i read it :-D
I'm reading The Corfu Trilogy by Gerald Durrell.

I'm currently reading 'Minding Children' which is an Irish fiction novel by William Wall. I'm finding it quite hard to get in to, it all seems a bit confusing to me and it's quite heavy but I think it would be a good read if I had more concentration!

I'm reading Happiness TM By Will Ferguson. It's a mockery of the self help industry and books that can't possibly work. The premise is that imagine if a self help book actually work, what that would do as ann impact on society, so it's interesting as well as entertaining and unputdownable.
xxxxx

The American boy- tis about some man who falls in love with AE Poe's best mate's mum and cousin. It's awesome.

The virgin Suicides- Just started it.

I just finished Insomnia by Stephen King, Im in the middle of High Fidelity by Nick Hornby and I hope to start The Amber Spyglass (I can not find the damn thing anywheree) and The Unbearable Lightness of Being soooonnn.

Haha I love being swamped in books.

ahh this thread is making me want to read so many books. i already have 4 lined up next. not enoughhh timeeeee.

Am currently reading 'The hunchback of notre dame' - Very good.

Speed read 'my side of the story' in a few hours; one of the best books.

Should be reading 'Queen of the damned' and 'Dissconnected'...but I keep on getting distracted...

oh. virgin suicides is one of my favourite books ever. top three definitley.

Scarred- Sophie Andrew, Its a pretty sad :(
But it's quite high in the book chart for a book about self-harm o.0

I got Get Well Soon by Julie Halpern today. I've already finished it, but then again, its only 180 pages or so. It was pretty good! I also got another book, I'll post more when I've finished it.

Yup, I know the feeling. I have a huge pile of books waiting to be read, and I keep buying more ><

I finished 'Pascal's Wager' which was rather good, although the title was slightly misleading - there was one chapter on the wager, and the majority of it was on his scientific work (and how he tried to reconcile it with his religious beliefs). Good book, definitely worth reading.

Yesterday I read 'Darwin's Angel' by John Cornwell, which is a response to 'The God Delusion' written from the perspective of the guardian angel of various scientists from Darwin to Dawkins. It isn't a comprehensive counter-argument to all of Dawkins' claims, but then it isn't intended to be. It's a pretty easy read demonstrating some of the major flaws in his arguments and the poor quality of his research in many cases. If nothing else, it's amusing. It gets slightly too personal in places, perhaps, but to a far lesser extent than Dawkins himself, and overall it's a very good read.

Today I started reading 'Sexism & God-Talk' by Rosemary Radford Ruether. I haven't got too far yet, but it seems interesting - though I don't think I'm going to agree with much she says.

I need to find some slightly lighter bedtime reading, but I don't know what to choose. I got 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum' by Kate Atkinson a while ago and haven't read it, so I might start that soon. Anyone read it?

And yes, I'm sorry for posting so much information about books that probably no-one else is interested in, lol. I get a bit enthusiastic =/

Im reading 'The perks of being a wallflower'

today i bought:
jeanette winterson - oranges are not the only fruit.
d.h. lawrence - lady chatterley's lover (for uni, blahh).
& kate chopin - the awakening
from this amazing second hand book shop near my house.

Liar-Stephen Fry, it's good so far but a tad disjointed and confusing

i'm 9 pages in to "the ground beneath her feet"

I've just finished reading ""It's kind of a funny story" by Ned Vizzini. Its really awesome!
