Crank - Ellen Hopkins
Recently finished Impulse, by Ellen Hopkins, which was good but slightly triggering. |
i am still reading we need to talk about kevin. it makes me quite sad that it is taking me so long. i'm only halfway through.
it is quite good though. it's much more detailed and kindof a bit intelligent. moreso than i thought it would be. |
Hehe, I am currently reading Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I love it! And I'm obsessed with Edward, as you can probably tell.
|
Just finished Breaking Dawn. Loved it!!! Anyone know when the sequel is out?!
Read To Ride Pegasus by Anne Mc Affrey now - also excellent! |

Just finished Finding Darcy, about family secrets and bullying basically Am reading Slash: The Autobiography Mean as hehe |
Demon Diary! Its awesome!
|
I just finished 'Home Truths' by Sara Maitland, which was pretty good. Although irritating because you don't get to find out what really happened at the enddd. Which is upsetting to me =P
I'm about to start 'Patience & Sarah' by Isabel Miller. Looks interesting. Haha. I should really spend more time reading the books I have to for uni! |

|
Reading Next to Nothing
and Wuthering Heights (for uni) plus psychology, and management stuff... |

|
Im reading the last book in the vampire chronicles about Lestat...Memnoch the devil. Just the premise of it sounds like rice is jumping the shark but I have to finish the series.
And I needed a vampire fix anyway hahaha |
Vanishing Acts - Jodi Picoult
|
The Hitman Diaries - Danny King.
|
Sara's Face - Melvin Burgess
|
I just finished readin The Lord Of The Rings by JRR Tolkien, it was the first time I read the whole thing. I actually felt sad when I finished it, not just because of the sad ending, but because I'd come to the end of the greatest story ever told.
At the moment I'm reading The Dark Tower-Volume VII by Stephen King... and once again I'm saddened by the knowledge that I'll soon finish yet another truly epic story. |
Twilight <3
|
I just last night finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey. It's my new favourite book! Strangely enough, all of the books I've read lately have become my new favourite book, but this was particularly amazing. I've also recently finished The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky, and Girl, Interrupted, by Susanna Kaysen. I recommend them all to anybody interested in the line between sane and insane, and finding an identity in the case of Perks.
A friend lent me The Interpretation of Murder, by Jed Rubenfeld, today. I love books based on psychology. |
ohhhh i bought so many books recently! like, ten. but some were for uni.
i bought perks of being a wallflower, nobody belongs here more than you (miranda july), the bloody chamber (angela carter), the complete fairy tales (the brothers grimm), the almost moon (alice sebold), doctor corpernicus (john banville), the periodic table (primo levis) & the true history of the kelly gang (peter carey). now, reading them.. that's a whole 'nother story.. |
Sounds like you have your work cut out for you! Which are you reading first? Let us know what you think when you finish them :-)
|
well i am reading doctor corpernicus right now. or well i started it on the train home today. it is a semi-fictional biography of a real scientist who i guess was called doctor corpernicus. he "invented" the solar system as we know it today, as in he discovered/named it. it was obviously already there.
|
I (re)read Catalyst and then read Twisted by Laure Halse Anderson. Catalyst is one of my favorite books ever.
|
rustedchains: Who is Catalyst by? I'm always looking for new books to read :)
linder: That actually sounds very interesting. I'm going to have a list of books to read spanning the length of Britain, at this rate XD |
Quote:
I finished Nothing to fear by Karen Rose [absolutely amazing] and Cut by Cathy Glass [interesting to say the least]. I want something good to read next. Anybody recommend anything? I'm pretty open to most genres apart from science-fictiony type stuff. |

The Ninth Circle, by Alex Bell (I think)
|
amy i am glad to hear he's a good writer because that's a uni book.
the miranda july book, i hadn't even heard of her before i watched me you & everyone we know. and i remembered that lucy/gypseeroselee has it listed as one of her favourite books on facebook haha, so i bought it. it was on amazon sale. &&&. mother night is so fantastic! i read it in about two days this summer. really recommend. |
I've just finished "A Place Called Here" by Cecilia Aherne. Excellent book.
I'm now on a saga by Ruth Hamilton - "The Judge's Daughter". |
I'm reading 'A Walk with Jane Austen' which is a biography/memoir combined of a woman from America who comes to England and travels around various places that Jane stayed in. I expected to not like it very much but I'm really enjoying it.
|
Katie, that book really is excellent. Have you read any of her other books?
|
I'm reading The California Club by Belinda Jones. Amazing so far.
|
Zed, no, not yet, but I plan to - her latest, "Thanks for the memories" looks really good.
|
Yeah it really is. I love her style of writing... She's actually just released a new book for Christmas called 'The Gift'. I'm reading it at the moment and might review it at some point.

It's kinda hard like you gotta get your head around it but it's pretty ace. I'm still reading it and I'm loving it. |
I agree that Catch 22 is rather awesome. At the moment I'm reading 'Jaaka Ruus' by Terry Brooks, some poetry by Byron and TS Eliot and 'Dubliners' by James Joyce. :)
|
^^^ ive always been meaning to read some James Joyce, let me know what you think of it!!!
|
Compulsion - Hilary Norman
|
I gave up on that, it was dull. I'm now reading Lord of the Flies.
|
Oh Lord of the Flies is good...read it in 3rd year at school...well someone read it too us!
|
I'm still reading Atonement! Stupid uni getting in my way of reading!
Buuuuuuuut I'm near the end :) I love it, it's so good. All the books people read seem really fascinating. |
I've just finished reading "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" by Steig Larsson. It took so long to get into it, the first 1/3 of the book was just technicalities and statistics and the like, but then the last 2/3 were AMAZING! Just BOOM! Mindblowing! Utter mindgasm, I swear to God. (I think I should say, though, in case anybody takes this reccommendation on board, the book includes sexual abuse).
Today I started "Memoirs Of A Geisha" by Arthur Golden, which I've heard nothing but good things about. I can't wait to really get stuck into it! |
Quote:
I've never actually finished Ulysses despite having started it at least 5 times. It's brilliantly written and constructed with many different layers but pretty complex, maybe 6th time will be a charm :D |
I'm reading 'Memoirs of a Geisha' by Arthur Golden at the moment, I have less than a hundred pages left and I don't want it to end. Gutting.
|
Memoirs of a Geisha is such a good book!
|
I'm currently (slowly) reading 'A Paramedics Diary: Life and Death On The Streets' by Stuart Gray.
|
Quote:
And ugh, I havent been reading much lately :/. When I finish the two books Im in the middle of now, I want to start the "Chrestomanci" series by Diana Wynne Jones. |
Quote:
I havent seen the film though, didn't want to until I've read the book. Is it any good? |
I just finished Twisted by Laurie Hales Anderson, A MAZING book.
ATM i'm working on Twilight by Stephanie Myers. |
Just finished Deception Point by Dan Brown. By far one of his best. but I've always been a fan of science fiction.
I've started reading The Stand by Stephen King. the full, unedited version which is 1421 pages long and three inches thick. I'm only up to chapter 9 so far but it's excellent. |
Just finished 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles', Thomas Hardy. I've started reading it a couple of times before but I finally got around to finishing it. :)
(The ending is just horrible, though. Really, what's wrong with happy endings?!) |
