Books? What are books? The latest "book" I read was an ebook online. Does Readers' Digest count? Don't have time for a complete paper book. I get most of my info online or in magazines. Don't have time for a long continuing saga these days.

Just read "The Boy in The Stripped Pajamas" by John Boyle.

I have just started reading 'Someboy Else's Kids' by Torey Hayden

im currently reading 'the bell jar' by sylvia plath.

i read the bell jar its brilliant.
i just finished on the road by jack kerouac and the rum diary by hunter s thompson

Going through the Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice) again. Best books ever!

The harp of the grey rose by Charles De Lint

i finished james frey - my friend leonard, liked it alot.
now i am reading melvin burgess - junk, just because.

Just finished 'The Memory Keeper's Daughter' by Kim Edwards. It was quite good.
Just started 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Love it so far.

Hunted by P.C. and Kristin Cast

I am reading Beaver Towers. :D

all families are psychotic- douglas coupland

Just started 'overheard in a dream' By Torey Hayden. I'm still not in a 'reading mood' though so I doubt I'll finish it.

'The Great Gatsby' was amazing. Best book I've read in a long time, actually.
Now I'm reading 'Carry Me Down' by M.J. Hyland. It's about a boy who can always tell if people are lying, and his messed up family. It doesn't sound that great, and I just picked it up in the library for something to read, but it's actually surprisingly good.

I'm reading Artemisia by Alexandra Lapierre. It's pretty good, picked it up on a whim.

I just read 'Remember Me' by Sophie Kinsella, I read it in a day but it was an enjoyable read about a woman with amnesia that can't remember the last 3 years of her life.

I read The Great Gatsby for higher English and so glad I did! Might re-read it soon!

^Lucky you! We did awful books for Higher English. >< You should definitely re-read it :)

'Carry Me Down' was good, I enjoyed it. Now I'm going to read 'Decline and Fall' by Evelyn Waugh. I think.

"Carry me down" is very good. I read it recently, too.

I'm currently reading "Change of heart" by Jodi Picoult.
Before that I read "The Drowning Girl" by Margeret Leroy, and before that "Secrets" by Freya North.

Carry Me Down was really disturbing.

i love Torey Hayden, i think she's my favourite author of that type of book.

It was. But still good.

I decided to read 'The Mephisto Club' by Tess Gerritsen. I normally don't like crime books, but I'm slightly addicted to hers. 'Decline and Fall' is definitely next, though.

Haha, if you want me to be honest I hate books! :tongue2:

Lol, fair enough. I love books <3

'The Mephisto Club' was good. Icky, and totally ridiculous, but a good story. Now I'm reading Aeschylus' 'Oresteia'. I'll probably start reading 'Decline and Fall' as well, though.

I'm reading Scarred by Sophie Andrews just now.
Have just finished A Lion among men and Confessions of an ugly stepsister both by Gregory Maguire (he wrote Wicked) I love the Wicked series, and his other books too!

JTHM Director's Cut.

And the Amory Wars

The Perks of being a Wallflower.

Dark Calling by Darren Shan... again.

i've abandoned on the road. i dont know i just lost interest or something. and i finished reading the post office. good book. and now i'm reading south of no north, by bukowski.

Now i'm reading Squee!

I'm a bit obsessed with Jhonen Vasquez...

Reading The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. It is really addictive. Loving it.

I'm really, really struggling with The Poisonwood Bible.
Argh.

Does anybody have any good books they can recommend?

Last read: False Gods by Graham McNeill... it was okay.
Currently reading: Galaxy In Flames by Ben Counter. Not great.
Next on the list: Cocaine Nights by J.G. Ballard.

Torture Garden by Octave Mirbeau (beware, it is very violent, very bloody, very graphic and generally disturbing fare, but a classic) or The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea by Yukio Mishima.

Finally finished The Sunflower Forest - Torey Hayden, it's taking me so long to read books these days.

Now reading Insomnia - Stephen King.

I can't get into 'Decline and Fall'. I just, don't find it at all entertaining.
I read 'A Tale of Two Sisters' by Anna Maxted instead. Absolute trash, but I can't be bothered reading anything better right now, haha. And I like her books.

Try Fulgrim, by Graham McNeill. Much better, but has themes of mental illness and self harm in it, so be warned!

Just finished reading Let The Right One In, by John Ajivide Lindqvist. A vampire story, and super disturbing. Quite a trigger for sexual abuse.

Jo, try a book by haruki murakami i think you will like him.

Thank you for the suggestions :)

Ok it's been a couple of months since I wrote what I've been reading
So since last time I have read Angels and Demons- Dan Brown, Kathy Reichs novels [11] (got them in two box sets for basically $5AUS a book), and The Sorceress by Michael Scott.
