Finished Her Fearful Symmetry, today finished Room.

Room is amazing, I really enjoyed it. Very powerful, original, and moving. It's done through the eyes of a five year old boy, who's spent his whole life living in one room with his mum, in captivity. It's horrible and moving and just very good. So recommend that :)

Now need something else to readddd.

One Day - David Nicholls.

Not bad, but very predictable. Still quite moving though in bits.

Reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult on my iPad at the moment. Have taken to reading books digitally now... it's easier to carry them around. I have 640 books on my iPad! =D

I LOVED it.the book,I mean.I read it in my vacantion in Turkey,where I was extremly bored and it was the best book I could have chosen to read in vacantion.I was hooked on it.It's the only book I've read by J Picoult,unfortunately,because they are so expensive and you can't find them in the library.I don't want to give spoilers,but I'm sure you would want to read it until the last page,it has a very twisted end.

Just finished Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast Of Champions and Slaughterhouse-Five for the second time, both. I just started Ned Vizzini's It's Kind Of A Funny Story because I wanted to read it before I see the film, which starts this month here. I like it, I'm just about done.

At the minute I'm reading; The Tattoo Chronicles by Kat Von D.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum.

Ohh Linds, is it good?

I'm reading The Help, which I'm quite enjoying. It's an overdone genre, but it's a good book.

I'm reading Orwell's 1984. :P I've read a bit of it before, but I've only just got the book myself.

It's ok so far. Warm and cheerful :)

Just finished Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Its just brilliance, its one book I can safely say I'll never forget. The author's power to convey scent through words is amazing, and the book never loses pace but keeps you gripped to the end. It took me a while to get into it though, just because the protagonist is so inhuman that its pretty hard to feel anything for him at first, but then after watching the film last night I'm so much gladder its that way. They make him far too sympathetic and hollywood.
Started Frankenstein a few days ago. I'm learning to love the writing style, although its quite different from the books I usually go for, a lot flouncier, which usually irritates me, but it still flows reasonably well.

That's definitely something I want to read, Linds. Thanks :) And and 1984 is one of my favourite books too.
Athiri, that's something on my bookshelf that I'm waiting to read!

I've just finished The Help and I'm now starting on Cormac McArthy's The Road.

False Memory - Dean Koontz.

The Corrections - Jonathon Franzen

I'm still ploughing through the pile of books I got for my birthday back in September!

This is a good book, if slightly unrealistic.
But I'm finding it hard to read because it is essentially about dsyfunctional families and does obliquly refer to self harm and depression and things which are hard to read about and many of the family are manipulative and remind me of my family in a lot of ways.

I've given up on Dean Koontz already, didn't fancy reading it at the moment.

Now reading Medicine Balls - Phil Hammond.

clockwork angel by cassandra clare... finally :D

I just read "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro, an amazing read.
Now halfway through "Her Fearful Symmetry" by Audrey Niffenegger.

What are you thinking of it?
I enjoyed it; it was a nice easy read, nothing too challenging and it's not novel brilliance but it's certainly pleasurable to read!

Finished The Road yesterday, I'm now starting The Other Hand... I have no idea what it's about yet, and it really doesn't say anything on the blurb... But I think I'm enjoying it.

It's been neglected for almost two months now due to Uni, but I was really enjoying it :)

A Day Called Hope - Gareth O'Callaghan.

Just started reading 'Not Without My Sister' by Celeste, Kristina and Juliana

The last book I read was Fallout by Ellen Hopkins. It was really, really good. That author is an absolutely, amazing writer.

The book I'm reading now is one of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. This one is called Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: The Real Deal.

Finished The Other Hand. It was very, very moving. Regret reading it at work now!

I'm now reading a Kathy Reichs/Bones book. I love Bones as a TV show, so feel as though I should get some idea of it's roots,haha.

Read Harry Potter 3 :). Win.
About to read 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' when it finally comes through from Amazon.
Oh, also just read 'Skin' by Adrienne Vrettos.

Have a lot on the go atm, damn you late library closing times. So i'll throw in Stephen King - Desperation, 90's King is gradually becoming as deranged as 80's lol. A collection of poems about the moon, some Goosebumps and Kraken by China Mieville.

Textbooks.

Maybe by next week I can start reading for fun again?

In the middle of reading Vampire Diaries The Return : Shadow Souls.
It's not as good as the first few. I'm finding it pretty slow, in my opinion nothing very exciting has happened yet and I'm just over 15 chapters in.

At the moment I'm reading:
Poppy Shakespeare
More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea
Kiss Me Judas
Harry Potter 6
Emilie Autumn's Autobiography
Pig Heart Boy

And I've just finished:
Girl, Interrupted
Blood, Sweat and Tea
In Stitches
Moab is my Washpot

Got to start soon:
Mrs Fry's Diary
Dead Men Walking
The Fry Chronicles
Gears of War (comic book)

Yes I have alot of books on the go at once, I get bored otherwise...

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, but in Finnish to help me practice.

Makes absolutely no sense to me at all...

Ghostgirl : homecoming: I liked the first one much better...
Vampire Kisses 3 : Vampireville : I liked them much better then Twilight...e_O seems more real.
Emily the Strange : stranger and stranger: Really good, funny, easy read.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...again :P

Down Among the Dead Men - Michelle Williams.

I was reading 'The Unbearable Lightness of Scones' by Alexander McCall Smith, which is lovely - but I accidentally returned it to the library!

Also trying to read 'Atonement' but haven't managed to get into it yet.

Flem, totally and utterly impressed with the sheer number of books you're reading :)
Any absolute gems among them?

I'm on A Thousand Splendid Suns at the moment - after that I think I'll move on to either White Teeth by Zadie Smith or something else :P

I've nearly finished War & Peace.
Got Sense and Sensibility to read next :]

Brief History of TIme - Stephen Hawking

It makes me sound intelligent but actually its really really easy to read, and quite funny too. Though I doubt even Stephen Hawking can ever make me understand physics properly.

Jo, Poppy Shakespeare is really good does help a bit if you saw it on TV but it is on 4OD, if you want like diary kind of things Blood Sweat and Teat and More Blood More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea are paramedics diary's that are brilliant, both by the same guy.
In Stitches is another diary but of an A & E doctor and that is brilliant too!
Moab is my Washpot is good but that's because I'm a sucker for Stephen Fry :P
Girl, interrupted is also good, a deffinate if you've seen the film too!

Oh oh oh. I'm so pleased with your recommendations! Thank you. But also, I've asked for Blood, Sweat and Tea and Moab is my Washpot (a lot of my friends prefer it to The Fry Chronicles) for xmas, so that's very exciting. will keep an eye out for Poppy Shakespeare and Girl, Interrupted - I broke of a bit of a lifetime rule on the latter, that I wouldn't watch a film before I read the book. But def sounds interesting, especially as I did love the film.

Thank you :)

I'm almost done with The Plot Against America by Phillip Roth. I'm about halfway through La Cloche de Detresse, or The Bell Jar in French. I'm also slowly but surely making my way through Victor Hugo's Contemplations, in the original French.

I got me a Kindle. I'm 75% of the way through The Virgin Suicides.
The movie sucked so I kinda have to read the book now.

im reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami (havent really got into it yet) and The Interrogative Mood: A Novel? by Padgett Powell (kinda weird but intriguing)

I just read the white queen by phillipa gregory (she wrote the other boleyn girl) and it was gooood. About the war of roses. And i usually dont like historical fiction lol

I just read 'The Daughters' ...it was a pretty good book too. I plan to read the rest of the series now.

Just finished re-reading The Chronicles of Narnia. They are fairly enjoyable, if you don't mind the religion, bad pacing and the older, proper English.

Next up will be some Terry Pratchett, I think.

I'm reading Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk for the nth time, a couple of Discworld books and Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami.

Just finished Battle Pope: Genesis (ok, graphic novel, not book.)

Still reading: Sabriel by Garth Nix, Sandman: World's End (more comics!), and The Boy With The Cuckoo Clock Heart by Mathias Malzieu

I just started reading Gone to the Crazies by Alison Weaver again. Also once I get it I'll be reading John Dies at the End by David Wong. Super excited about that one.
